ABOUT LAB DIAMONDS
Lab diamonds are gemstones created in control environments using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond formation process that can otherwise take millions or billions of years. Unlike mined diamonds, which are extracted from the earth, lab diamonds are produced using either High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) methods, resulting in diamonds that are chemically & physically identical to their natural counterparts.
These eco-friendly alternatives are not only conflict-free but also more affordable. Opting for a lab-grown diamond allows consumers to acquire a larger, higher-quality stone at a significantly lower price compared to traditional natural diamonds. This affordability not only offers greater value but allows for more flexibility in choosing a stunning engagement ring or fine jewelry piece!
Can You Tell The Difference?
Distinguishing between natural & lab created diamonds is virtually impossible for most consumers & even many gemologist without advanced technology, as both share identical chemical compositions, crystal structures & physical properties. Natural diamonds form over billions of years deep within the Earth, while lab diamonds are synthesized in weeks using advanced techniques like HPHT & CVD. Both types exhibit the same brilliance, fire & clarity & even advanced gemological testing often cannot differentiate them. Both test positive for diamond with a diamond tester.
Do we offer Natural & Lab Grown diamonds?
YES TO BOTH! We offer both GIA certified natural diamonds & IGI / GIA certified lab grown diamonds! With a database of over 600,000 diamonds, we are certain we can find the perfect diamond for you!
PLEASE NOTE: IGI specializes in grading Lab Grown Diamonds while GIA specializes in grading Natural Diamonds but will also grade Lab Grown. GIA is pricier than IGI.
