Lab Grown Diamonds

Lab grown diamonds are as real as diamonds mined from the earth. The only thing that makes a lab-created diamond different from a natural diamond is its origin. A lab-created diamond is “grown” inside a lab using cutting-edge technology that replicates the natural diamond growing process. The result is a man-made diamond that is chemically, physically, and optically the same as those grown beneath the Earth’s surface.

If we compare them to popular diamond simulants, it’s obvious that manufactured diamonds, in fact, are the real deal.

Lab created diamonds are graded and certified using the same process as mined diamonds.

Diamonds are sent to a gem lab that specializes in grading diamonds. The majority of these labs grade using the 4c’s (cut, clarity, color, and carat).There are many popular diamond certification labs, some of which are:

• Gemological Intstitute of America (GIA)
• International Gemological Institute (IGI)

Benefits of Lab- created Diamonds:

1. Eco-friendly: For every carat of diamond that is mined, nearly 100 sq ft of land is disturbed and almost 6000 lbs of mineral waste is created. Lab-created diamonds are inherently and significantly less detrimental to the environment as it takes considerably less energy to grow a diamond in a lab than it does to dig it out of the ground. In fact, it is actually in the interest of the growers to minimize the amount of energy they use in the process to save money and decrease their costs.
2. Ethically-sourced: All in all, mined diamonds result in 1 injury for every 1,000 workers annually, while lab-grown diamonds result in zero. If avoiding conflict or blood diamonds is important to you, lab-created diamonds provide peace a mind that a natural diamond often cannot, and you may find reassurance in knowing the exact origin of your diamond.

Ultimately the significance of the diamond you choose is the love it represents.

We understand that diamonds are a significant investment, and you want (and deserve) the knowledge you need to make an informed purchase.
