Lab Created Diamonds
What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are diamonds that are made in a controlled lab environment. They have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as natural diamonds, with the only difference being their point of origin.
Similar to their natural counterparts, lab-grown diamonds are evaluated with the 4 Cs: color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. You can also find lab-grown diamonds in the same shapes, including princess, round brilliant, and emerald, as natural diamonds.

Are They Real Diamonds?
Because diamond-growing technology is relatively new, there are still some uncertainties floating around about lab-grown diamonds.
Although they are created in a lab, these diamonds have all the same qualities as their natural counterparts and are just as real. This makes them very different from diamond simulants, like cubic zirconia or moissanite, which are stones designed to mimic the look of real diamonds but do not possess the same physical, optical, and chemical qualities.
