We find the majority of customers decide to buy lab diamonds instead of mined diamonds for 3 main reasons. The first reason is the savings which are around 75-80% which is very significant no matter how much money anyone has. The second reason, is because they are sustainable and ethical, and the third reason is because they are identical visually and chemically. This make buying a man made diamond a no brainer.
Lab diamonds are 100% real, a word of caution: the diamond market is experiencing an increase in misleading practices. Always be sceptical about platforms and retailers that are trying to sell you imitation diamonds. The most common buzzwords they use are round brilliant, synthetic diamonds, artificial, moissanite, cubic zirconia, crystals, and diamond simulants, in an attempt to fool the public into thinking they’re buying real diamonds. All of those clever terms, however, don’t refer to real diamonds, which often catches many new buyers by surprise. A diamond engagement ring is far too important to not get it right the first time, so you should only buy from trusted and proven diamond retailers. It is very important to take your time, read reviews, and, most importantly, make sure that the diamond you wish to purchase is authentic and certified. On the other hand, a number of alternative labels identify real lab grown diamonds and NOT simulants: Manufactured Diamonds, Lab Created Diamonds, Cultured Diamonds, Above Earth Diamonds, Mine-Free Diamonds, Ethical Diamonds, CVD diamonds and HPHT diamonds. They all refer to man made diamonds, just in different words.
Gemmologist Note: Synthetic diamonds are lab made diamonds; however, there are websites out there taking advantage of this fact by using the term synthetic diamonds to peddle cubic zirconia. To be on the safe side, it’s always best to avoid any stones labelled synthetic ‘diamonds’.To buy lab grown diamonds, is the best alternative to avoid needing to get a mined diamond. On average, you can save 75% on the cost, while also having the opportunity to make a positive change since only lab grown diamonds are eco-friendly and conflict-free. It is highly recommended by expert gemmologists to work with a company that is locally based in the EU and specializes the filed.
Yes, they are real diamonds. They are created using the same chemical and physical processes that happen naturally inside the Earth but are grown in a controlled laboratory environment where a starter seed of diamond crystal gradually becomes bigger as more and more carbon atoms are deposited on it. Lab made diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds and are scientifically proven to be real diamonds. IGI and GIA, two of the world's foremost authorities on diamonds, coloured stones, and pearls, grade man made diamonds the same way they grade mined diamonds using the same scale.
The price is significantly lower than the price of mined diamonds. The exact price difference will depend on various factors such as the size, quality, and specific type of diamond, but on average, lab created diamonds are around 75% cheaper than natural diamonds. This is because the cost of producing rough is much lower than the cost of mining and extracting rough natural diamonds from the Earth. However, the rest of the process that a rough diamond, whether from a mine or a lab, goes through to be retail ready, like cutting, polishing, certification, shipping, and insurance are all exactly the same.
JYes, they do. When using a diamond tester, all lab created diamonds will test as diamonds. Chemically, physically, and optically there is no difference to a natural diamonds, so they will exhibit the same properties and characteristics when tested. This includes hardness, refractive index, thermal conductivity, and other properties that are unique to diamonds, both mined and man made.
Yes, most lab diamonds have inclusions, just like natural diamonds. Inclusions are natural imperfections that are found within diamonds, and they can occur in both natural and lab made. Inclusions can take many different forms, such as tiny bubbles or carbon deposits that were trapped inside the diamond as it was forming. Just like natural diamonds, most diamonds created in labs have flaws, and only very few become flawless. Check our 4Cs guide to learn more about colour, clarity, cut and carat of diamonds.
Yes, all lab diamond rings in UK and jewellery can be insured. All lab created diamonds are considered to be real diamonds, so they can be insured just like mined diamonds. You can purchase insurance from any company that accepts jewellery insurance. Insurance policies vary but usually they cover the cost of replacing or repairing your item if it is lost, stolen, or damaged. It is important to read the terms of your insurance policy carefully to understand what is covered and what is not.
