Frequently asked questions

Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds in every measurable way. They have the same chemical composition (pure carbon), crystal structure, brilliance, and hardness as natural diamonds formed in the earth. The only difference is origin. Lab-grown diamonds are created in advanced laboratory environments that replicate the natural diamond-growing process, rather than being mined. Even trained gemologists require specialized equipment to distinguish between natural and lab-grown diamonds.

Why are lab-grown diamonds more affordable?

Lab-grown diamonds are typically more affordable because they are created in controlled environments meaning, that production costs are typically lower. This often allows customers to choose a larger carat weight for their engagement ring within the same budget.

Do lab-grown diamonds last as long as natural diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds rank 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness, just like natural diamonds, making them suitable for everyday wear. This means they are as equally durable and suitable as natural diamonds, making a perfect choice for daily wear engagement rings over a lifetime.

Are lab-grown diamonds a growing trend?

Absolutely. Interest in lab-grown diamonds has grown significantly in recent years, particularly among shoppers seeking value and alternative sourcing options.

Why are couples choosing lab-grown diamond engagement rings?

Interest in lab-grown diamonds has grown significantly as more shoppers seek value, innovation, and larger stones. Many couples appreciate the ability to maximize size or quality within their budget, while others are drawn to the technological advancement behind the creation process. As awareness increases, lab-grown diamonds have become a mainstream choice rather than a niche alternative.
