Are Lab Grown Diamonds as Good as Natural Diamonds?

Absolutely! Lab diamonds have similar physical, chemical, and optical properties to natural ones. A lab grown diamond can be as high quality as any mined diamond.

So much so that it isn't easy to differentiate between the two with the naked eye. Specialized equipment and techniques are required to distinguish between the two.

How Do I Know if a Lab Grown Diamond Is of High Quality?

Like natural diamonds, lab grown diamonds are also evaluated based on the 4Cs established by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA): carat weight, color, clarity, and cut.

Carat Weight - The term carat weight pertains to the mass of a diamond, where one carat is equivalent to 0.2 grams.

Color - The color grading system spans from D (colorless) to Z light yellow or brown hues). The grades increase in value as they go higher.

Clarity - Diamond clarity indicates the level of imperfections or inclusions, both internally and externally.

Cut - "Cut" refers to a diamond's symmetry, proportions, and polish, which greatly influence its brilliance.

Opting for diamonds with substantial carat weight, an almost colorless or colorless hue, exceptional clarity, and a precise cut is recommended to achieve the best possible shine.

How Much Do Lab Grown Diamonds Cost Compared to Mined Diamonds?
Lab grown diamonds are usually priced 20-30% lower than their mined counterparts of the same quality. You can opt for a larger or higher quality diamond without exceeding your budget if you choose a lab grown one.
How Are Lab Grown Diamonds Different From Cubic Zirconia or Moissanite?

Although cubic zirconia and moissanite might resemble diamonds, they are, in fact, distinct from real diamonds. Cubic zirconia is a lab made gemstone produced from zirconium dioxide, while moissanite is a natural mineral. In contrast, lab created diamonds are real diamonds with the same physical and chemical features as natural diamonds.

Can Lab Grown Diamonds Be Used for an Engagement Ring?
Certainly! Lab grown diamonds are gaining popularity as engagement ring options because of their exceptional quality, ethical sourcing, and cost-effectiveness. Opting for a lab grown diamond engagement ring is an excellent choice for those seeking a unique and ethical substitute for one made with a mined diamond.
Can Lab Grown Diamonds Be Used for Other Jewelry Besides Engagement Rings?
Of course! You'll find a wide variety of lab grown diamond jewelry, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and pendants. A lab created diamond is perfect for all types of jewelry and can be set in yellow gold, rose gold, or any other metal you prefer.
