Why Buy Lab-Grown Diamonds?

1. Genuine Diamond: Lab-grown diamonds are indeed genuine diamonds, possessing essentially the same chemical, optical, and physical characteristics as their mined counterparts. To differentiate between lab-grown and mined diamonds requires sophisticated and expensive equipment found only in laboratories. This ensures that when you choose a lab-grown diamond, you're getting the real deal, indistinguishable to the naked eye from mined diamonds.


2. Sparkle: Optically identical to mined diamonds, lab-grown diamonds exhibit the same mesmerizing sparkle that captivates admirers. This brilliance and fire are synonymous with natural diamonds, making lab-grown diamonds a stunning choice for any piece of jewelry. Rest assured, the beauty of a lab-grown diamond will endure for generations to come.


3. Ethically Sourced: One of the most compelling reasons to opt for lab-grown diamonds is their ethical sourcing. Unlike mined diamonds, which are extracted from the Earth through mining processes that can have significant environmental and social impacts, lab-grown diamonds are cultivated in controlled laboratory settings. This means they are 100% ethically sourced and environmentally friendly. By choosing lab-grown diamonds, you can purchase with confidence, knowing that your jewelry contributes to the preservation of our natural resources.


4. Value: Lab-grown diamonds offer exceptional value without compromising on quality. Identical to mined diamonds in terms of durability and appearance, lab-grown diamonds come at a fraction of the cost. This means you can enjoy higher quality and clarity for your budget, allowing you to invest in a stunning piece of jewelry without breaking the bank. With lab-grown diamonds, you get superior value without compromising on beauty or ethics.

How are Diamonds Graded?

1. Cut: The cut of a diamond refers to its proportions, symmetry, and polish, which directly impact its brilliance, fire, and overall beauty. A well-cut diamond reflects light in a way that maximizes its sparkle and allure. Whether opting for a classic round brilliant cut or a more modern princess cut, choosing the right cut ensures that your diamond shines brilliantly from every angle.


2. Color: Diamond color grading ranges from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). The less color a diamond exhibits, the higher its value. Colorless diamonds allow for maximum light reflection, resulting in a dazzling sparkle.


3. Clarity: Clarity refers to the presence of internal and external flaws, known as inclusions and blemishes, respectively, within a diamond. Diamonds with fewer or no visible flaws are considered higher in clarity and are more valuable. While flawless diamonds are rare and highly coveted, many diamonds contain imperfections that are invisible to the naked eye, making them a more affordable yet still stunning choice.


4. Carat Weight: Carat weight measures a diamond's size, with one carat equaling 200 milligrams. While carat weight is often associated with a diamond's size, it's essential to consider how the other 4Cs affect a diamond's appearance. A smaller diamond with exceptional cut, color, and clarity can appear more brilliant and valuable than a larger diamond with lesser qualities. Finding the right balance between carat weight and the other 4Cs ensures that you choose a diamond that is both visually stunning and reflects your personal style.

ARE LAB GROWN DIAMONDS REAL? Absolutely, lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. They have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds, making them just as durable and brilliant. Lab-grown diamonds are created in a lab using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond formation process. To the naked eye, they are indistinguishable from mined diamonds. Additionally, they are often more affordable and ethically sourced, making them a great choice for conscientious consumers. So, you can buy lab-grown diamonds with confidence knowing you are getting a genuine, high-quality diamond.

ARE LAB GROWN DIAMONDS CONFLICT FREE? Yes they are created in controlled laboratory environments, they do not involve the ethical and environmental issues often associated with mining natural diamonds. This means that lab-grown diamonds avoid the human rights abuses and environmental degradation sometimes linked to diamond mining, providing a more ethical and sustainable option for consumers.

ARE YOUR DIAMONDS CERTIFIED? Yes all our diamonds over 1 carat come with and IGI diamond report. IGI diamond certification is provided by the International Gemological Institute, a leading independent laboratory for grading diamonds. The certification includes a detailed analysis of the diamond’s cut, color, clarity, and carat weight (the 4Cs). It also provides measurements of the diamond’s proportions and assessments of its polish, symmetry, and fluorescence. A visual diagram maps out any internal or external flaws. This certification confirms the diamond’s authenticity and quality, giving buyers confidence in their purchase. IGI certification is widely recognized and trusted in the jewelry industry.

What are the differences between a lab-grown diamond and mined diamond? Lab-grown diamonds and natural mined diamonds have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties, making them virtually identical to the naked eye. The primary difference lies in their origin: lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled laboratory environments, while natural diamonds are formed over billions of years under the Earth's surface. Lab-grown diamonds are often more affordable and come with a guaranteed ethical sourcing, as they do not involve the environmental and social issues associated with mining. Natural diamonds, on the other hand, are valued for their rarity and historical significance. While both types of diamonds are real and durable, detecting lab-grown diamonds typically requires specialized equipment. Ultimately, the choice between them depends on personal preferences regarding cost, origin, and ethical considerations.
