Lab-Grown Diamond

Laboratory-Grown Diamonds

Chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds—the only difference is the environment in which they are formed.

What is a Lab-Grown Diamond?

Diamonds produced in a laboratory setting have the same carbon crystal structure as natural diamonds. The only difference is that they form in a controlled laboratory environment in weeks, rather than underground over millions of years. They are indistinguishable from natural diamonds with the naked eye or standard jewelry equipment.

Why Lab-Grown Diamonds?

They are evaluated by the same 4C standards, certified in the same way, and possess the same brilliance — typically at a more accessible price point.
