WHAT IS THE REAL PRICE OF A LAB-GROWN DIAMOND?

First things first, let's clear up that we're talking about a lab-grown diamond with zero mysteries. So, to get rid of all your doubts, we've put together a collection of the most frequently asked questions.

IS A LAB-GROWN DIAMOND A FAKE DIAMOND?

No! Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. They have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds. The only difference is their origin - one is created in a laboratory and the other is mined from the earth. Both are 100% real diamonds.

IS CUBIC ZIRCONIA (CZ) THE SAME THING AS A LAB-GROWN DIAMOND?

No. Cubic zirconia is a diamond simulant made of zirconium dioxide - a completely different material. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds made of carbon, identical to earth-mined diamonds in every way. CZ is softer, less brilliant, and much less expensive than either lab-grown or natural diamonds.

DO LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS CHANGE COLOR OVER TIME?

No. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically identical to natural diamonds and will not change color, fade, or become cloudy over time. They are just as permanent and durable as earth-mined diamonds.

CAN A JEWELER TELL IF A DIAMOND IS LAB-GROWN?

Not with the naked eye. Lab-grown and natural diamonds look identical. However, gemological laboratories can identify lab-grown diamonds using specialized equipment that detects subtle differences in crystal growth patterns. All our lab-grown diamonds come with certification clearly identifying them as laboratory-created.

DOES GIA GRADE LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS?

Yes! The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades lab-grown diamonds using the same 4Cs standards (Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat) as natural diamonds. GIA reports clearly identify the diamond as laboratory-grown.

CAN I RESELL A LAB-GROWN DIAMOND?

Yes, you can resell lab-grown diamonds, though like all diamonds, they typically don't retain their full retail value on the secondary market. Lab-grown diamonds generally have lower resale values than comparable natural diamonds. However, because you pay significantly less upfront for a lab-grown diamond, you're getting exceptional value for the beauty and quality you enjoy while you own it.

ARE LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS ENVIRONMENTALLY SUPERIOR TO EARTH-MINED DIAMONDS?

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds have a significantly smaller environmental footprint than mined diamonds. They require no mining, which means no large-scale land disruption, no mining waste, and reduced carbon emissions. Lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled laboratory environments using advanced technology, making them a more sustainable and ethical choice.
