Lab grown diamonds.

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds created in a laboratory using advanced technology that mimics the natural diamond-growing process. They're chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds—the only difference is their origin.

The main difference is where they come from. Mined diamonds are formed naturally in the earth, while lab-grown diamonds are created in in a lab. Here are some quick benefits:

• Ethical: No mining means no harm to ecosystems or communities.
• Sustainable: A smaller environmental footprint compared to mining.
• Affordable: Lab-grown diamonds can cost 20-60% less than mined ones.

That depends on your priorities! If you value transparency, ethics, and sustainability, lab-grown diamonds are a fantastic alternative. Plus, you get the same fire and brilliance as mined diamonds without the guilt or price tag.

Nope, not at all. Cubic zirconia is a diamond simulant, not a real diamond. CZ is made from zirconium dioxide and looks similar to a diamond but lacks the hardness, brilliance, and durability. Lab-grown diamonds, on the other hand, are real diamonds and score a 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness—just like mined diamonds.

Moissanite is another popular diamond simulant, but it’s made of silicon carbide, not carbon. Moissanite sparkles differently (with more rainbow-like flashes) and isn’t as hard as a diamond. Lab-grown diamonds have the same sparkle, brilliance, and durability as mined diamonds, while moissanite’s unique look and properties make it more of an alternative gem.

Nope! Even professional gemologists can’t tell without specialised equipment. Lab-grown diamonds are visually and chemically identical to mined ones. Your secret’s safe with us—unless, of course, you want to brag about how awesome, ethical and sustainable your diamond is!

Absolutely. Just like mined diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are graded and certified by reputable gemological labs, such as GIA, IGI, or GCAL. These certifications cover the 4Cs: cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight.

Yes! Growing diamonds in a lab uses significantly fewer resources compared to mining, which often involves deforestation, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. By choosing lab-grown, you’re supporting a more environmentally friendly option.

Yes, and no compromises! Lab-grown diamonds typically cost 20-60% less than their mined counterparts, meaning you can get a larger or higher-quality diamond for the same budget.

Not really. Whether lab-grown or mined, diamonds typically don’t appreciate in value over time like traditional investments. The diamond market is influenced by supply, demand, and resale factors, which often result in depreciation. Instead of viewing diamonds as an investment, consider them as symbols of love, commitment, and personal expression. When you purchase a diamond, you’re investing in a piece to cherish and pass down for generations, not to profit from.

Caring for a lab-grown diamond is the same as caring for a mined one:

• Clean it regularly with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
• Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Store it separately to prevent scratches.

We think so! As more people recognise the benefits of lab-grown diamonds, they’re quickly becoming the go-to choice for ethical, sustainable, and affordable luxury.

Forever—just like mined diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds are just as durable and can be passed down as heirlooms for generations.
