Below are some of are common questions about lab-grown diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds (also known as man-made or cultured diamonds) are real diamonds that are created in highly controlled laboratory environments using advanced technological processes. They have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural, mined diamonds, making them indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Key Points:

  • Same brilliance, hardness, and sparkle as mined diamonds.
  • Grown in a lab using carbon atoms arranged in a crystal structure.

Lab-grown diamonds generally match—or even exceed—mined diamonds in terms of quality, purity, and color. Because they’re grown under controlled conditions, they often have fewer impurities and defects.

Key Points:

  • Equivalent in color, clarity, cut, and carat weight.
  • Certified by the same gemological institutes (e.g., GIA, IGI).

Yes, they are chemically and physically identical to mined diamonds. Major gemological institutes grade them similarly to natural diamonds, confirming they are real and not diamond simulants (like cubic zirconia or moissanite).

Yes, we provide a wide range of setting options—from classic solitaires to modern, custom-designed pieces. You can select your preferred diamond and choose a setting material (gold, platinum, etc.) to create a unique, personalized piece of jewelry.

Choosing the right diamond depends on the “4 Cs”: cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. Decide which of these attributes is most important to you and set your budget accordingly. Our site allows you to filter by these attributes, making it easy to find the perfect diamond.

Lab-grown diamonds are often considered more sustainable and ethical because they do not require large-scale mining operations.

Absolutely. Reputable lab-grown diamonds come with certifications from well-known gemological labs such as IGI (International Gemological Institute), GIA (Gemological Institute of America), or GCAL (Gem Certification & Assurance Lab). These certificates confirm the diamond’s specifications, such as carat weight, color, clarity, and cut.

Below are some common questions about shipping, returns, and exchanges

Every lab-grown diamond from our shop comes with an official certification from a respected gemological institute (IGI)

Yes. Like mined diamonds, lab-grown diamonds can be resold, appraised, and insured. Many insurance companies accept appraisals for lab-grown diamonds similarly to mined ones.

Lab-grown diamonds are just as durable as mined diamonds (10 on the Mohs hardness scale). You can clean them using mild soap, warm water, and a soft toothbrush. For a deeper clean, consider taking them to a professional jeweler for ultrasonic or steam cleaning.
