When we're talking about hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, this certainly makes lab diamonds worth investigating. So, let's find out more...
What are lab-grown diamonds?
As the name suggests, lab diamonds are grown by scientists in a laboratory in conditions that recreate the natural environment. Lab-grown diamonds are identical to diamonds mined from the earth as they share the same physical, atomical and chemical properties, just with a different origin.
The difference between lab-grown and mined diamonds could be compared to the difference between ice formed outside on a winter’s day versus ice that’s formed inside your home freezer. To look at them, you would never know they have a different inception. Lab diamonds are graded on the same scale as mined diamonds, known as the 4C’s, and receive a certificate documenting their individual cut, color, clarity and carat weight.
Diamond quality: Understanding the 4Cs
You may have heard of the famed diamond 4Cs, which make up the grading criteria that determines the quality and price of a diamond. The 4Cs stand for cut, color, clarity, and carat weight, and understanding each one will help you to make an informed decision when purchasing an engagement ring or any other diamond jewelry. Carat is arguably the most important of the 4Cs when it comes to diamond quality and With Clarity offers from 0.5 all the way to 16 carats.

Lab diamonds: The sustainable choice
As lab-grown diamonds are extracted from the earth, they do not contribute to the depletion of natural resources. The lab diamond industry also has a significantly lower environmental impact compared to traditional diamond mining. When buying a natural diamond, it is crucial to check that is ethically sourced and adheres to the Kimberley Process.
