Have you always wondered about lab grown diamonds? Do you want the REAL info and not some armchair “expert” nonsense? Then you’ve come to the right place! Lab diamonds are 100% real diamonds that make beautiful engagement rings, earrings, bracelets, and so much more!
Read on to learn our top 6 reasons why lab grown diamonds might be perfect for you!
Lab grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds, and don’t let anyone tell you differently! They are not stimulants or alternatives like cubic zirconia or moissanite, they are simply sparkling, shining diamonds. Diamonds grown in the lab have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as their natural counterparts mined from the earth.
Their sparkle is indistinguishable to the naked, even highly trained eye. The only difference is their origin.
Technology is simply amazing! (More on this below). The process to create lab grown diamonds replicates the conditions found in nature, which creates diamonds over millions of years. But why wait millions of years when processes such as
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) exist, where carbon atoms are arranged in a diamond crystal structure, creating the gemstone you know and love: durable, dazzling, and perfect for your fine jewelry.

Another reason we love lab grown diamonds – the value. Typically costing anywhere from 20-40% less than their natural counterparts, these beauties let you get more bang for your buck. This means that you can buy a larger diamond for the same price as a smaller mined option.
So go ahead, maximize your budget, because why settle for less when you can go for big bling that makes them go WOW!

The future is now and it’s lab grown diamonds. No one ever thought we’d be walking around with small computers in our pockets, but we all love our cell phones, don’t we?
And while it may have been inconceivable in the past, thanks to incredible innovations like CVD and HPHT that mimic the process of growing natural diamonds, we can now create 100% real diamonds in the controlled laboratory environment. No more waiting millions of years for the earth to do her thing.
Sitting at the forefront of technological innovation in the jewelry industry, lab grown diamonds can be created with optimal qualities and fewer defects, unlike their mined counterparts where you are at the whim of natural processes.
Reducing production costs while ensuring a steady supply, lab grown diamonds are where innovation meets luxury. They are truly the modern choice for timeless shine. So embrace the future, because it is here and it shines bright.
Versatile is beautiful! Another reason to love lab grown diamonds is that they can be created in various sizes, cuts, and shapes, perfect for all your jewelry needs. From engagement rings to hoop earrings, diamond studs and tennis bracelets, and so much more!
You don’t have to hope the diamond with the size and specifications you want is found in a mine somewhere, it can be created in a lab! This makes expressing your personal style and finding that perfect diamond easier than ever – and more affordable.
The controlled environment of a lab ensures that lab grown diamonds have fewer impurities and inclusions compared to their natural counterparts. This means better clarity, higher color grades, and diamonds that are simply put, more brilliant. Now OF COURSE, there are high quality, gorgeous natural diamonds, but they can be harder to find, especially in larger sizes, and they won’t offer the same savings as lab grown options.
Thanks to stringent standards and expert certifications (see more on that next), you can confidently choose lab grown diamonds for all your sparkling needs.
Just like natural diamonds, lab grown diamonds are evaluated and certified by nonprofit institutions like the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), a leading authority on diamonds and gemstones.
Using the 4Cs – cut, color, clarity, and carat weight, these certificates give detailed information on your diamond’s unique characteristics, ensuring that you know exactly what you are buying. At James Allen, every diamond comes with an official certification
Lab grown diamonds are real and they are here to stay. By choosing a diamond whose origin is a lab, you get 100% realness, incredible sparkle and shine, and more bling for your buck. These beauties are perfect for everything from jaw-droppingly beautiful engagement rings to timeless tennis bracelets and everything in between.
So if you love things that sparkle, love saving money, or simply want a diamond that is big and beautiful, consider a lab grown diamond.
Yes, yes, and yes! These 100% real diamonds have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as their natural counterparts. The only difference is their origin.
Lab grown and natural diamonds have the same physical and chemical properties, meaning they are identical in terms of their crystal structure and material composition. This means that unless you are a professional jewelr with very specialized equipment, you cannot tell the difference.
Nope! Lab grown diamonds are graded using the exact same criteria as natural diamonds: the 4Cs (Carat Weight, Cut, Color, Clarity).
Lab grown diamonds generally have a lower resale value than natural diamonds due in large part to their lower production costs. However, compared to natural diamonds, lab grown options offer an excellent value at purchase, particularly for larger, higher quality options.
Lab grown diamonds share the same physical properties as natural diamonds, making them equally durable. Both rank 10 on the Mohs hardness scale and are incredibly durable, making them a great choice everyday wear. Lab grown diamonds are just as scratch resistant as their natural counterparts, making them an ideal choice for engagement rings and other fine jewelry.
Absolutely! Lab grown diamonds can be insured just like natural diamonds. Make sure to buy a certified diamond, as these certifications are often required by insurance companies to assess your diamond’s value and characteristics.
