Lab Grown Diamonds, lab created diamonds or man made diamonds are the same thing. They have become increasingly popular within this last decade, but people still seem to be confused on what they exactly are.
So let’s break it down.
What are Lab Grown Diamonds
Lab Grown Diamonds are man-made diamonds grown in a controlled laboratory. Are Lab Created Diamonds real? Yes. Lab Created Diamonds have the same chemical, optical, and physical characteristics as a Natural Diamond.
Both Natural Diamonds and Lab Diamonds come with diamond certifications. Lab Created Diamonds have also been referred to as Lab Grown, Man Made, Cultured, and Engineered Diamonds.
Are They Considered a Diamond Simulant?
Are they considered a Diamond Simulant? Simple answer, no. Let’s start with explaining what a diamond simulant is. Think Moissanite and Cubic Zirconia, they look similar to diamonds but are not true carbon crystals. They do not carry the same chemical and physical properties as diamonds, meaning they sell for much lower prices.
Lab Grown Diamonds vs Natural Diamonds
Lab Grown Diamonds have the exact same level of hardness and durability as Natural Diamonds. The differences between Natural Diamond and Lab Grown Diamonds cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Natural Diamonds are created under pressure of the earth’s crust across millions of years. Lab Grown Diamonds are put through the same process, only across a span of a few months.
Benefits to Lab Grown Diamonds
Lab Grown Diamonds are often better quality than Natural Diamonds due to the high controlled environment as well as its fully monitored process. Lab Created Diamonds are often 40 – 70% less than Natural Diamonds, which means you can purchase a larger stone. Some benefits on choosing Lab Grown Diamonds include:
- Fewer defects
- Environmentally Friendly
- Greater Affordability
- Brighter Quality and Higher Purity
- Ethical
Cons of Buying Lab Grown Diamonds
Lab Grown Diamonds have skyrocketed in recent years although they have been around for a few decades now. Lab Created Diamonds don’t hold that rarity factor that Natural Diamonds do, considering there is a finite supply of them. Meaning that Natural Diamonds will hold their value over time unlike Lab Grown Diamonds.
The value for Lab Grown Diamonds has dropped tremendously, meaning that the resale value is very low. Which might be something to consider if you ever plan on upgrading your diamonds or selling your diamond jewelry. We do not buy back or upgrade lab grown diamonds.
