Lab-Grown Diamond Search FAQ
Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds, offering a beautiful, ethical, and sustainable choice for modern buyers.
What are conflict-free diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are inherently conflict-free. Because they are created in a controlled laboratory environment, their production is completely transparent and bypasses the ethical concerns and historical conflicts sometimes associated with the sourcing of mined diamonds.
What are the benefits of choosing a lab-grown diamond over a natural diamond?
The key benefits include significant cost savings (they are typically 30-50% less expensive), a guarantee of being ethically sourced, and a lower environmental impact, all while providing the same brilliance and durability as a natural diamond.
Should I buy a certified diamond?
Yes, certification is highly recommended. Always look for a grading report from a reputable, independent laboratory like IGI (International Gemological Institute) or GCAL (Gem Certification & Assurance Lab) to verify the diamond's quality (4Cs).
What are the 4C's of a diamond?
The 4C's—Carat Weight, Cut, Color, and Clarity—are the universal grading standards used to assess the quality, rarity, and price of all diamonds, including those grown in a lab.
Do lab-grown diamonds hold their value?
Lab-grown diamonds are priced based on the cost of production and are generally not considered an appreciating investment. Like most consumer products, their value is primarily in their beauty, symbolism, and ethical appeal.
What is the best diamond shape?
The "best" shape is entirely a matter of personal preference and style! The most popular shapes for lab-grown diamonds include Round Brilliant (for maximum fire and brilliance), Oval, Cushion, and Princess.
