• Many couples have gone back and forth on the
  question of whether to choose between an
  earth-grown or lab-grown diamond. The use of
  lab-grown diamonds has been growing in
  popularity, and many still don't fully understand
  them, so today, we will explain.
• To start, here is an answer to one of the
  biggest questions Lab-grown diamonds are
  ethically sourced and are more affordable than
  those from the earth. They are still REAL
  diamonds.
• Below are very common questions that are
  consistently asked about lab-grown diamonds.
  Hopefully, below you will find the answer you
  have been looking for.

3

• What are lab-grown diamonds, and what is their
  value?
• Lab-grown diamonds are exactly what they sound
  like. Instead of developing underneath the
  earth's crust, lab-grown diamonds use the same
  material as natural diamonds but in a laboratory
  using technology that duplicates the natural
  geological process. As a result, lab-grown
  diamonds can be chemically, physically, and
  optically identical to naturally mined diamonds.
  They are even as hard as natural diamonds the
  only difference between the two is their origin.

4

• Because you are taking out the whole "grown in
  the earth and mined" aspect of a diamond with a
  lab-grown diamond, the value is undeniable.
  Furthermore, since the diamonds are created in a
  laboratory environment, These diamonds can be a
  more ethical choice than natural diamonds, as
  mining is not needed to produce them, Making them
  significantly cheaper for identical quality and
  brilliance.

5

• Would you be able to see the difference if
  you compared a lab-grown to one grown in nature?
• Lab-grown and mined diamonds look identical
  visually. However, just off a look, professionals
  can not tell the difference, and it can still be
  very hard to tell for experts with close looks.
  To distinguish a lab-grown diamond and a mined
  one, the stones must be tested with a highly
  capable machine. The first thing to notice is
  that most lab-grown diamonds are and should be
  plainly and responsibly disclosed to be man-made.
  A big scare in the jewelry industry is
  non-disclosed lab-grown diamonds sold as natural
  diamonds. But, it is important to know that the
  majority of lab-grown diamond manufacturers are
  perfectly legitimate and honest organizations
  that are upfront about their products. Some even
  laser inscribe all their diamonds to clearly mark
  them as lab-grown.

6

• What are the differences in prices between
  lab-grown and mined diamonds?
• Lab-grown and natural diamonds have the same
  costs when it comes to cutting, polishing, and
  inspection. The difference in price comes from
  the difference in the costs and processes leading
  up to that point, like the high cost of mining.
  Lab-grown diamonds range from 30-70 cheaper than
  mined diamonds of the same specifications.

7

• One thing that is important to factor into
  your purchasing process is the value the diamond
  may hold long-term. Because of the scarce supply
  of natural diamonds can have vs. lab-grown ones,
  a lab-grown diamond will lose its value a lot
  quicker than a natural diamond would This is not
  something you should worry about when buying a
  long-term purchase for yourself or someone else
  but good to keep in mind since jewelry can be an
  investment for many. Therefore, being fully aware
  of why you buy a diamond should be considered in
  your purchase process.

8

• How is a lab-grown diamond made? What is the
  time frame?
• Two processes are used to create lab-grown
  diamonds HPHT (High-Pressure High Temperature)
  and CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition). First, a
  small diamond seed is used to make HPHT diamonds.
  Then, the diamond is placed in carbon and exposed
  to extreme temperatures.

9

• A CVD diamond is made from a thin slice of the
  diamond seed. It is then placed in a heated
  chamber filled with carbon-rich gases. The magic
  of technology creates carbon bonds with the
  diamond seeds, which then crystallize.
• In 6-12 weeks, lab-grown diamonds are
  possible. The technology behind lab diamonds has
  made crucial advances in recent years, allowing
  companies to grow higher quality diamonds more
  rapidly and affordably.

10

• Is it better to choose a lab-grown diamond
  than a mined one?
• For many reasons, a lab-grown diamond is
  becoming a better choice than a mined one. A
  lab-grown diamond is a beautiful,
  ethically-sourced stone that costs only a
  fraction of what a mined diamond would cost. If
  you are looking for a diamond that you want to
  keep for a long time without spending a fortune,
  a lab-grown diamond is an awesome choice.
  Remember, they are still real diamonds they have
  the same sparkle you'd look for in a natural
  diamond.

11

• Are lab-grown diamonds graded and certified on
  the same scale as mined ones?
• Yes, lab-grown diamonds can be graded
  according to the same standards as mined
  diamonds. They are graded on the four Cs of a
  diamond -- color, cut, clarity carat weight.
• Every diamond is graded at the lab by multiple
  gemologists. The grades are then compiled to
  determine a final grade. Lab-grown diamonds are
  graded according to the same standards as natural
  diamonds.

12

• Can you please explain the four Cs? How do I
  choose where my diamond should fall on each
  scale?
• Cut The cut is one of the most important
  aspects of buying a diamond. The cut determines
  the brilliance and sparkle of the stone by
  affecting how light reflects and disperses from
  the facets. It does not reflect the shape of the
  diamond. Therefore, a well-cut diamond will shine
  and reflect light with brilliance, while one that
  is poorly cut may lack the same sparkle.

13

• Color Diamond color can range from D
  (colorless) to Z (slightly yellow). The color
  refers to the absence of color in a particular
  diamond. The colorless diamonds D, E, and F, are
  the whitest. D is the highest grade. G, H, and I
  are close to colorless diamonds so that they will
  have warmer tones.

14

• Clarity Most diamonds will contain
  inclusions or birthmarks. The fewer the
  inclusions, the more beautiful a diamond may be,
  and the fewer objects which might obstruct the
  reflection of light. Clarity is the quality of a
  diamond. It refers to its existence, location,
  and type of inclusions. Inclusions are small
  imperfections that can be found in a stone's
  internal characteristics. Higher clarity grades
  make diamonds more valuable, with the "Internally
  Flawless IF" top of the list. VVS1-VS2 diamonds
  are considered eye clean, which means that no
  inclusions can be seen to the naked eye. Although
  SI1 and SI2 diamonds are technically clean, some
  people can see the imperfections depending on the
  type and position of the inclusions. Included
  diamonds (I1, II) have inclusions that can be
  seen without magnification.

15

• Carat Weight This is the weight of the
  diamond and will affect the overall size. Local
  jewelry stores stock many different weights, so
  you can choose a stone that is balanced between
  size, quality, and affordability. Dimensions of
  diamonds reflect how the weight was distributed.
  Therefore, you can still have a diamond that is
  smaller in carat than one with a higher weight.

16

• When deciding where your diamond should be
  placed on the grading scale, there are many
  factors to consider. First, ask yourself what you
  value most. Is it the size or the color of the
  diamond? Or is it the diamond's fire and sparkle
  that is most important? What is your opinion on
  clarity? Is "eye-clean" your desire? Your local
  jewelry store can help you determine the
  non-negotiable attributes of your diamond based
  on your wishlist. Then, they will discuss your
  budget and make recommendations.

17

• It can be scary to order something important,
  like an online engagement ring. So how does it
  compare to buying one in person?
• It can be difficult to order online for
  something as important and personal as an
  engagement ring. However, many still enjoy going
  to their local jewelry store to talk to a
  professional to get their expert option and help
  pick a diamond ring.

18

• Although most local jewelry stores offer the
  purchase of a diamond ring online, they are
  always available to help you find diamonds,
  compare stones, choose a setting, or answer any
  other questions with just one call.

19

• Local jewelry stores love building strong
  relationships with their customers and ensuring a
  positive shopping experience. Therefore, your
  local jewelry store should believe in
  transparency and affordability to help offer your
  needs the lowest prices daily. There's no need to
  wait for sales or wasteful negotiating. Instead,
  you can rest assured that you got the best price.
