What are lab created diamonds ?

Lab-created diamonds — also known as man-made or cultured diamonds — are grown using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond-forming process. Crafted from the same carbon structure and exposed to identical conditions, these diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to their mined counterparts. They offer the same brilliance, durability, and timeless beauty — with a more ethical and sustainable origin.

Why Choose Lab-Grown Over Mined?

  • 1. Value

    Lab-created diamonds can be up to 80% more affordable than earth-mined diamonds — perfect for those who want to maximise carat size without exceeding their budget.

  • 2. Quality & Beauty

    Lab-grown diamonds are chemically identical to mined diamonds, with a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale. They pass diamond testers and offer the same brilliance and durability — with a modern, ethical touch.

  • 3. Modern

    Lab-created diamonds have revolutionized the jewelry world — grown using advanced technology, they offer a modern, ethical alternative to earth-mined diamonds.

How are Lab Diamonds Made?

Our lab-created diamonds are grown in a controlled laboratory environment. Each diamond begins as a tiny carbon seed, then undergoes processes involving extreme heat and pressure or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to replicate natural diamond formation. In just six to ten weeks, these diamonds fully grow and are then cut and polished to the same high standards as Earth-created diamonds.

Lab-Created Diamonds vs. Natural Diamonds

Visually and chemically, lab-created and natural diamonds are identical in every way, rendering them impossible to tell apart without specialized equipment. The fundamental distinction between them is their origin: lab-created diamonds are engineered in a laboratory setting, whereas natural diamonds are unearthed from the Earth's mantle where they formed over millennia. While natural diamonds hold a strong traditional appeal, lab diamonds present a compelling alternative, frequently costing up to 80% less than a natural diamond of equivalent size and quality.

Lab-Created Diamond Tips

  • Cut

    The cut of a diamond defines its brilliance, encompassing its symmetry, polish, and proportions. Lab-grown diamonds undergo the same cutting and polishing processes as natural diamonds. However, because lab-grown diamonds can be cultivated with greater uniformity, cutters often achieve superior results, leading to fewer imperfections and a generally better overall cut compared to many natural diamonds.

  • Clarity

    Natural diamonds often contain imperfections or inclusions, which can impact their value and brilliance. The most coveted natural diamonds are those that are clearest and most colorless, as these qualities yield the best sparkle and highest value. Lab-grown diamonds, by nature of their controlled creation, are almost universally colorless or near-colorless. This characteristic places them on par with the most valuable and sought-after natural diamonds available.

  • Budget

    Lab-created diamonds are an excellent choice for budget-conscious buyers. Since they are cultivated in a laboratory rather than mined, these diamonds typically cost around 80% less than natural diamonds of comparable quality, allowing you to get more sparkle for your money.

Lab Diamonds FAQ

Are lab diamonds a good investment?

Lab-grown diamonds are an excellent choice if you're seeking a larger diamond within your budget or a mining-free alternative. They are generally more affordable than Earth-created diamonds of comparable size and quality. However, as with all gemstones, resale value can fluctuate. Given their relatively recent introduction to the jewelry market, the long-term pricing trends of lab-created diamonds are less certain compared to Earth-created diamonds.

Do lab diamonds test as real diamonds?

Earth-Created and lab diamonds are physically and chemically identical. Both are real diamonds, exhibiting the same brilliance and characteristics as their natural counterparts. It's impossible to distinguish lab diamonds from Earth-Created diamonds without specialized equipment.

Are lab diamonds cheaper than Earth-Created Diamonds?

For those seeking significant savings without compromising on quality, lab-created diamonds are an excellent choice. They can be as much as 80% more affordable than natural diamonds of the same size and brilliance.

Are lab diamonds flawless?

Just like Earth-created diamonds, every lab diamond is unique, exhibiting variations in cut, color, and clarity. Lab-created diamonds can possess minor internal flaws or surface inclusions, much like high-quality Earth-created diamonds. To ensure consistency and quality, lab-created diamonds are rigorously tested and graded by independent gemological labs, adhering to the same strict standards used for Earth-created diamonds.

Can you insure lab diamonds?

Yes, you can insure lab diamonds just like Earth-Created Diamonds, providing you with complete peace of mind.
