What are lab grown diamond ?

Lab-grown diamonds, as their name suggests, are created in a lab rather than through nature’s resources. A common misconception is that lab diamonds are ‘simulated’, ‘fake’ or made of different chemical compositions than a traditional diamond. Not so. They are chemically and molecularly identical to classic diamonds, and just as beautiful.

How are lab-grown diamonds made ?

To create a lab diamond, a thin slice of diamond (also known as a diamond seed) is placed into a sealed chamber. Tremendous heat and pressure is applied to the diamond slice, mimicking the conditions that form natural diamonds within the earth’s crust. From there, a rough lab-grown diamond is formed, which is then hand-cut and polished.

What is the difference between a classic and lab-grown diamond ?

Classic, natural or mined diamonds are formed deep within the earth over millions of years, created through that same combination of heat and intense pressure. Then, they are extracted from the ground through mining operations. The appeal of a classic diamond is their rarity, as diamonds formed in the earth are finite. While this makes lab-grown stones less ‘rare’, they are still identical. They are still both made of pure carbon – and held to the same certification standards.

Why buy a lab-grown diamond engagement ring ?

The process of creating a lab-grown diamond is more efficient and cost effective than the process of diamond mining, therefore lab-grown diamonds themselves are more affordable. In fact, a lab-grown stone is likely to be around 60-70% cheaper than a mined diamond, meaning that you don’t have to sacrifice on carat, colour or clarity for your engagement ring.
For the ethically conscious, a lab-grown diamond will also be the more appealing choice. While efforts are being made to improve the diamond mining industry, in terms of environmental and humanitarian impact, the best way to ensure that your ring is conflict-free is by choosing a lab-grown stone.
“Lab-grown stones are the future of the diamond industry… We are very intentional about what we do and why we do it. People are choosing our jewellery for the future. They will be passing down something that has been sustainably made.”
