About Lab Grown Diamonds

A lab grown diamond is created within a laboratory using cutting-edge technology that replicates the natural diamond growing process. The result is a real diamond that is chemically, physically, and optically identical to those naturally grown beneath the earth’s surface. Just like any natural diamond, lab diamonds also come in different size, colour and clarity.
LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT LAB GROWN DIAMONDS ARE

How Are Lab Diamonds Created

Our LVC diamonds are created from tiny carbon seeds from pre-existing diamonds, using conditions that mimic the natural process that creates earth grown diamonds. The diamond rough then goes through the exact same process of cut, polishing and certification.

Explore how our lab diamonds are created using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method, which produces the top 2% of the world’s diamonds.

Lab Grown Diamonds vs Natural Diamonds

In your journey toward that perfect sparkle, two paths emerge: natural and lab grown diamonds. While the allure of natural diamonds has stood the test of time, lab grown diamonds provide compelling advantages. Cost often comes to mind, but it's not just about getting the cheapest deal. Buying lab grown diamonds gives you the freedom to choose a larger carat or a higher grade at similar price points, without compromising on quality. But beyond 1ct dazzlers and balance sheets, lab grown diamonds stand as a testament to human inventiveness, offering you ethically sourced and environmentally responsible options.
