About Lab Diamonds

Lab grown diamonds are gemstones that are identical to natural diamonds in terms of their chemical makeup, durability and looks. The difference between lab and natural diamonds is their origin. Lab made diamonds are formed here above ground in controlled settings while natural diamonds have been formed over millions of years through natural processes deep within the earth. Depending on how lab diamonds are made, they can have unique qualities that make them perfect for jewelry.

Lab diamonds don’t have the rarity natural ones do; they can be produced endlessly at scale. This means that lab diamonds are often lower priced than natural ones. Both lab and natural diamonds include GIA reporting on their color, cut, clarity, carat and any features of note. Both lab and natural diamonds are excellent choices for jewelry.
