Lab-grown diamonds are diamonds created in a laboratory using a technology called chemical vapor deposition (CVD). They have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds, but they are grown in a controlled environment instead of being mined from the earth.

While natural and lab-grown diamonds share the same physical, chemical, and optical properties, there are a few key differences:

• Creation: Natural diamonds are formed deep within the earth over millions of years, while lab-grown diamonds are created in a laboratory within a matter of weeks.

• Price: Lab-grown diamonds are upto 90% more affordable than natural diamonds of the same quality due to the shorter production time and the absence of mining and distribution costs.

• Ethical Considerations: Lab-grown diamonds offer a more ethical alternative to natural diamonds, as they do not contribute to the environmental and social issues associated with diamond mining.

Absolutely! Lab-grown diamonds are just as durable as natural diamonds. They can withstand the same wear and tear, and they can be cleaned and cared for in the same way.

It is virtually impossible to tell the difference between a natural and lab-grown diamond with the naked eye. Only specialized equipment can be used to determine the origin of a diamond.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are considered ethically sourced. They do not contribute to the environmental and social issues associated with diamond mining, such as deforestation, conflict, and child labor.
