Choosing Lab Grown Diamonds

What is a Lab Grown Diamond?

Lab Grown Diamonds (also sometimes called Lab Created or man-made diamonds) are stones that are created in a laboratory environment that recreates the conditions under which diamonds form in nature. They are graded in the same way as natural (also called mined) diamonds, though they are always distinguished so as to not be mistaken for a natural diamond. This clarity is important for both manufacturers, retailers and consumers!

Why might you choose a Lab Grown Diamond?

There are many reasons why you might choose a Lab Grown diamond over a natural / mined diamond, other than simply personal preference.

Lab Grown diamonds have the same physical and chemical properties as their mined counterparts, but generally will have fewer defects meaning consistently good clarity.

2. Environmental impact

No mining is required in the creation of a Lab Grown diamond, and they have entirely traceable origins.

3. Affordability

Lab Grown diamonds are more cost-effective than a natural diamond of the same size and quality. That’s more bling for your money!

Choose diamonds that suit your personality, values and taste!
