About Lab Grown Diamonds
What Are Lab Grown Diamonds?
+
Lab grown diamonds have the same physical structure and traits as natural diamonds. Both sparkle and endure just like each other. The main difference is their birth: natural diamonds take billions of years to form underground, while lab grown diamonds are made in labs.Therefore, Lab grown diamonds are true diamonds in terms of their physical structure.
Lab Grown Diamond Benefits
+
Ethically Sourced: Eliminates the risk of funding conflict or exploiting workers, as they are produced in controlled laboratory environments.
Cost-effective: Generally more affordable than naturally mined diamonds, making luxury jewelry accessible to a wider audience.
Identical Physical Properties: They exhibit the same optical, physical, and chemical properties as naturally occurring diamonds, ensuring the same brilliance, hardness, and durability.
Consistency in Quality: Lab-grown diamonds can be produced to precise specifications, offering greater consistency in quality, size, and color.
Lab Grown Diamonds vs. Natural Diamonds
+
Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, optically, and physically identical to natural diamonds; their only distinction lies in their origin. Produced without mining, laboratory diamonds are precisely grown in controlled environments from carbon seeds and share the same composition as natural diamonds. Without professional tools, it is impossible to visually distinguish between laboratory-grown and natural diamonds. Laboratory diamonds also offer exceptional value, enabling you to optimize your budget across the 4Cs (carat, color, clarity, and cut).
Natural diamonds form deep within the Earth's crust under extreme temperatures and pressures over billions of years. They are composed of 99% pure carbon and possess a hardness that is 58 times greater than any other natural element. Due to their limited quantity, beauty, and rarity, natural diamonds have become highly sought-after gemstones, symbolizing romance and commitment. They are also valued for their timeless worth and are often passed down through generations.
Lab Grown Diamonds vs. Moissanites
+
lab-grown diamonds share the same physical structure as natural diamonds and have a Mohs hardness of 10, composed of carbon. In contrast, moissanite, made of silicon carbide with a Mohs hardness of 9.25, differs in composition and physical structure from natural diamonds, therefore, moissanite is not a diamond. Additionally, moissanite typically exhibits a higher refractive index, creating more vivid rainbow-like reflections.
Do lab-grown diamonds also have authoritative certificates like natural diamonds?
+
Yes, just like natural diamonds, each lab-grown diamond comes with a certification certificate from an authoritative institution, such as the GIA certificate and IGI certificate. The lab-grown diamonds you purchase on our website will also be accompanied by corresponding certificates, and you can also visit the official website of the certification institution to access the electronic version for secondary verification.
