      Why Choose Lab Grown Diamonds?

      Eco-Friendly

      Lab grown diamonds are made in the lab as opposed to being drilled from the earth.

      Beauty & Quality

      Lab grown diamonds have the same physical, chemical, and visual properties as natural-mined diamonds. The only difference is how its made.

      Unmatched Value

      Lab grown diamonds offer excellent value. They are more cost-effective than natural diamonds of the same size and quality

      What Are Lab Grown Diamonds?

      Lab grown diamonds (also known as lab created diamonds or man-made diamonds) are grown in controlled laboratory environments using cutting-edge, advanced technology.

      • These diamonds closely resemble natural diamonds because they are made up of authentic carbon atoms and exhibit identical visual, and chemical composition.

      Benefits of a Lab Grown Diamond

      Lab-created diamonds are real diamonds with identical properties to mined diamonds. Free from conflicts and ethical concerns associated mined-diamond, lab diamonds are grown in controlled conditions. In fact, lab-created diamonds often surpass mined diamonds in quality due to the precise control and monitoring of their growth process.

      • More beautiful due to higher quality and purity

      • Fewer imperfections compared to natural diamonds

      • Environmentally friendly thanks to advancement in technology

      • Budget-friendly options without compromising on quality

      • Certified and ethically sourced from places that don't engage in questionable practices

      Lab Grown Diamonds vs. Natural Diamonds

      To sum it up in one sentence - The main two differences between a natural and a lab diamond is cost, and origin(growth process).

      • Lab-created diamonds possess identical physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds, including their fire, brilliance, and sparkle.
      • Even with magnification, when examined, it is nearly impossible to distinguish between lab-grown and natural diamonds.
      • The only way to differentiate them is through specialized equipment tests, and lab-grown diamonds should always be accompanied by a certification confirming their origin.

      Lab Diamonds vs. Diamond Alternatives/Simulants

      Lab-grown diamonds are different from diamond simulants like cubic zirconia and moissanite.

      • Simulants resemble diamonds but lack the same chemical and physical properties.
      • Simulants can be distinguished from diamonds by visual inspection alone.
      • Thermal conductivity can differentiate diamonds from cubic zirconia using a handheld diamond tester.
      • However, some diamond testers may mistake certain lab-grown diamonds (HPHT) for moissanite due to similar electrical conductivity. (We only source CVD Lab Diamonds, continue below to learn more)

      Gemologists can typically differentiate between diamond and moissanite based on their refractive properties.

      CVD vs HPHT: How are Lab Grown Diamonds Made?
      CVD vs HPHT: How are Lab Grown Diamonds Made?

      There are two primary methods used to create a lab grown diamond: Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT). We'll explain in the next section why we only use CVD.

      Chemical Vapor Deposition(CVD)

      • In the CVD process, a high-quality diamond seed is placed in a vacuum chamber and exposed to temperatures of 700-1300°C. Carbon-rich gases fill the chamber, generating plasma and releasing carbon pieces that bond to the diamond seed, leading to the growth of a diamond rough.

      High Pressure, High Temperature(HPHT)

      • In the HPHT process, a diamond seed (graphite) is placed in a chamber with high temperatures and pressures, mimicking the natural conditions for diamond formation. Carbon and other materials are added, melting and crystallizing to fuse with the seed, resulting in the growth of a diamond rough.
      Why We Only Use CVD Lab Diamonds
      Why We Only Use CVD Lab Diamonds

      Although HPHT came first, the CVD process is a modern and refined method of producing Lab-Grown Diamonds.

      • CVD mimics diamond formation in outer-space, resulting in exceptional quality, color, and clarity stones.
      • CVD diamonds are cultivated with higher clarity using less pressure and smaller machines, this makes them ideal for fine jewelry.
      • HPHT diamonds have a slight yellow or brown color and metallic inclusions that can darken their appearance.
      • With graphite DNA as its seed, these metallic inclusions may make the stone magnetic.
      • HPHT Diamonds may fail certain hand-held diamond testers due to the metallic inclusions in the stone.

      Lab Grown Diamond FAQs

      Yes. Compared to natural diamonds of the same size and quality, lab created diamonds are a lot more affordable and offer excellent value to carat weight.

      Lab diamonds offer an ethical and affordable alternative for customers seeking larger and higher quality diamonds. Their true value comes from the beauty of the stone. Since lab grown diamonds are new to the industry, there is more uncertainty on future pricing compared to natural diamonds

      Yes, CVD lab diamonds will always pass a diamond test, but some HPHT lab diamonds may not.This is due to the metallic impurities in HPHT lab diamonds.

      We only carry CVD lab diamonds. This is because the CVD process produces higher quality diamonds and are Type IIa diamonds - the most chemically pure form of diamond.

      Because they are certified and graded the same as a mined natural diamond, lab created diamonds can be insured the exact same way.

      Just like a natural diamond, lab grown diamonds will vary in color, clarity, and cut, making each one unique. Independent gemological labs evaluate and grade lab diamonds using the same standards applied to natural diamonds.

      Unlike diamond simulants such as cubic zirconia, lab diamonds have the same durability and hardiness as a natural mined diamond and will not get cloudy over time.
