What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?
Grown diamonds are chemically, optically, and physically identical to earth-mined diamonds. They are more ethical, beautiful, and affordable than any diamond we will ever get out of the earth. We're replicating the earth's natural process by crystallizing carbon in a modern-day lab environment into brilliant diamonds. They are priced up to 40% less and are free of any environmental or humanitarian concerns.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds Real?
Yes! It's a fact that lab diamonds are real diamonds, identical in every way (but the price!) to earth-mined diamonds. Not to be confused with cubic zirconia, moissanite, or a "look-a-like" diamond, grown diamonds are 100% pure crystallized carbon. Think of it as making ice in your modern-day freezer versus getting it from a glacier. Both are frozen H2O regardless of the origin.
We are crystalizing carbon into stunning rough diamonds that are then cut, polished, and graded just like earth-mined diamonds. Lab created diamonds carry the same optical, physical, and chemical properties. They have the same refractive index, dispersion, and hardness, and are graded to the same standards as mined diamonds by leading independent gemological institutes including the GIA.
