Earth-grown Vs Lab-grown diamonds

Published: Dec 9, 2024
Author: 
Tanya Urquhart
Diamonds come in two main types: lab-grown and mined. Both are real diamonds, sharing the same chemical, physical, and optical properties. But their origins and processes set them apart.

Lab-grown diamonds are created in specialized facilities that replicate the natural conditions under which diamonds form. They grow over a few months instead of billions of years, making them more affordable without sacrificing quality. Lab-grown diamonds, just like mined ones, are graded for color and clarity and come in a variety of options to suit every taste. Even expert jewelers cannot distinguish between lab-grown and mined diamonds without specialized equipment.

Mined diamonds, on the other hand, are formed deep within the Earth over vast spans of time and retrieved through excavation. Their natural origin and geological history often carry a sense of tradition and rarity for many.

So, whether you opt for the innovation and sustainability of lab-grown diamonds or the timeless allure of mined diamonds, both shine with unmatched brilliance. The choice is entirely yours."
