What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds — not imitations or “fakes.” They are created in high-tech laboratories using cutting-edge technology that replicates the natural diamond-growing process. The result? A diamond that is chemically, physically, and optically identical to a mined diamond.

What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds — not imitations or “fakes.” They are created in high-tech laboratories using cutting-edge technology that replicates the natural diamond-growing process. The result? A diamond that is chemically, physically, and optically identical to a mined diamond.

How Are They Made?

There are two advanced methods to create lab-grown diamonds:

  1. HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature): Mimics the natural conditions under which diamonds form in the earth.
  2. CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition): Uses a carbon-rich gas environment to grow diamond crystals layer by layer.

Both processes produce exceptional quality diamonds — the main difference lies in the growth environment.

Are They “Real” Diamonds?

Yes, Lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds, not imitations like cubic zirconia or moissanite. Lab-grown diamonds are graded by the same gemological institutes that assess natural diamonds, such as IGI or GIA. They receive certification and are evaluated using the 4Cs:

  • Cut
  • Color
  • Clarity
  • Carat

Can You Tell the Difference?

To the naked eye — no. Lab-grown and natural diamonds look identical. Only advanced testing can distinguish between them, and both are graded by top gem labs like GIA or IGI.

Why Choose Lab-Grown?

✔️ Ethical – No mining, no conflict, no exploitation
✔️ Environmentally Responsible – Smaller carbon footprint
✔️ Affordable Luxury – Typically 40–60% less expensive than mined diamonds
