Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
❓ Are lab-grown diamonds real?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds.
They have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as natural diamonds. The only difference is their origin—lab-grown diamonds are created using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond-growing process.
❓ Can you tell the difference between lab and natural diamonds?
No, not without specialized equipment.
Lab-grown and natural diamonds look identical to the naked eye. Even professional jewelers need advanced instruments or certification to tell them apart. Both types of diamonds can receive grading from IGI, SGL or GIA.
❓ Are lab-grown diamonds worth it?
Absolutely.
Lab-grown diamonds offer excellent value—typically 30–50% more affordable than natural diamonds of the same quality. They are ethical, sustainable, and allow you to get a larger or higher-quality stone for your budget.
❓ Do lab-grown diamonds come with certification?
Yes, they do.
Reputable jewelers provide lab-grown diamonds with certification from trusted gemological labs like SGL, IGI or GIA, verifying cut, clarity, carat, and color—just like with natural diamonds.
❓ Are lab-grown diamonds ethical and eco-friendly?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are a more ethical and environmentally responsible choice.
They are conflict-free and avoid the human rights issues often associated with mining. They also have a lower environmental impact with minimal land disruption and carbon emissions.
❓ Will lab-grown diamonds hold their value?
Like natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are not meant as an investment.
While they may not appreciate over time, they offer better upfront value. Most people prioritize emotional and aesthetic value over resale when purchasing a ring.
