Yes. Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. They are indistinguishable, even to an expert gemologist using traditional jewelers’ tools.

Lab grown diamonds are not the same thing as diamond simulants such as cubic zirconia, moissanite, or a CZ with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating. 

Lab diamonds are made by recreating the conditions underneath the Earth that result in diamond growth: pressure, heat, & carbon.

Today, there are two methods of growing diamond gemstones: High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT) & Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Each process is best suited for certain sizes & colors of dia

Mining diamonds from the earth requires large-scale excavation and heavy machinery. Lab diamonds are created with significantly less environmental disruption.

Many lab diamond growers use renewable energy, and the diamond growth process requires only a small amount of raw carbon to produce each carat.

Yes. Lab diamonds typically retail for 50-80% less than mined diamonds of equivalent quality. Just like mined diamonds, lab diamonds are priced based on quality and their 4C’s grades.

Because lab grown diamonds are identical to mined diamonds with the same chemical composition, hardness, and sparkle, you cannot tell the difference between a natural diamond and a lab diamond without specialized laboratory equipment.

To the naked eye and traditional jeweler’s testers, they are indistinguishable.
