A closer look at lab-grown diamonds
Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, not imitation stones such as cubic zirconia or moissanite. They have essentially the same chemical composition, crystal structure and physical properties as natural diamonds.
The difference is their origin. Natural diamonds form beneath the earth over an extraordinary period of time, while lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled laboratory conditions using technology that recreates the environment in which diamonds form.
What is the difference between a lab-grown and natural diamond?
The biggest difference is how they are formed.
Natural diamonds are created through geological processes deep within the earth, while lab-grown diamonds are produced using specialised technology. Once cut and polished, diamonds of comparable quality can look remarkably similar to the naked eye.
For many people, the choice comes down to what matters most to them: the natural origin and rarity of a mined diamond, or the different origin and value offered by a lab-grown diamond.
Why choose a lab-grown diamond?
Lab-grown diamonds can give you greater flexibility when balancing diamond size, quality, design and budget.
They are particularly appealing if you would prefer to put more of your budget towards a larger centre stone, a higher-quality diamond or the jewellery design itself.
There is no universally “better” choice between natural and lab-grown diamonds. It is about choosing the diamond that best suits you, your priorities and your budget.
How do I know if a lab-grown diamond is good quality?
Carat weight is only part of the story.
Cut and proportions have an enormous influence on how lively and brilliant a diamond appears, while colour and clarity also affect its overall appearance. Two diamonds with similar specifications can perform very differently when viewed in person.
That is why we believe a diamond should be considered as a whole, rather than selected simply because the numbers on a grading report look impressive.
Will a lab-grown diamond last as long as a natural diamond?
Yes. Lab-grown diamonds share essentially the same physical properties and hardness as natural diamonds, making them suitable for jewellery designed to be worn for many years.
Just like any fine jewellery, the setting and surrounding metal should still be cared for and inspected over time.
Can a lab-grown diamond be identified by looking at it?
Not reliably.
A high-quality lab-grown diamond and a comparable natural diamond can appear virtually indistinguishable to the naked eye. Determining a diamond's origin generally requires specialist gemmological testing.
What you will see is what matters most aesthetically: the diamond's cut, proportions, brilliance, colour and clarity.
