Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds created in a highly controlled laboratory environment instead of being mined from the earth. Advanced technology replicates the same natural conditions under which diamonds form deep within the earth over millions of years. The result is a diamond that is identical in physical, chemical, and optical properties to a mined diamond — even expert gemologists cannot tell them apart without specialized equipment.

Yes — a diamond is defined by its composition, not its origin. Lab-grown diamonds have the same carbon crystal structure, hardness, brilliance, and sparkle as mined diamonds.

Not with the naked eye — or even under a standard jeweller’s loupe. Only advanced gemological instruments in specialized labs can determine a diamond’s origin.

Absolutely. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds that last forever, making them perfect for both heirloom-worthy jewelry and contemporary designs.

Yes. On average, lab-grown diamonds are significantly more affordable than mined diamonds of the same size and quality — often retailing at 60–90% less. Like natural diamonds, their value is determined by the 4Cs: Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat.

No — lab-grown diamonds are not synthetic substitutes like cubic zirconia (CZ) or moissanite. While those materials are diamond simulants, lab-grown diamonds are genuine diamonds with the same composition and brilliance as mined diamonds.

Yes. Diamonds are the hardest natural material known, ranking 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Lab-grown diamonds match mined diamonds in hardness, strength, and resilience.

No. A lab-grown diamond will retain its brilliance, fire, and clarity for a lifetime.

Not at all. While technology creates the right conditions for diamond growth, nature still plays a role — meaning no two diamonds are exactly alike.

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are graded using the same 4Cs as mined diamonds: Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat.

Yes. With lab-grown diamonds, a wider range of colours, unique shapes, and larger carat sizes are more accessible, allowing designers and artisans to break away from traditional commercial limitations and explore bolder, more artistic designs.
