Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
The answer is a very simple YES!
Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, optically and physically identical to earth-mined diamonds, but are more ethical and environmentally kind than any diamond that ever came out of the ground. They are created by replicating the Earth's natural process, crystallizing carbon in a high-tech lab environment into sparkling diamonds.
According to a study by Frost and Sullivan, the water needed to create lab grown diamonds is 7x less than the water needed to excavate earth mined diamonds; 70 liters per carat for lab-grown versus 480 liters per carat for earth mined.

As for air pollution, lab-grown diamonds produce 0.028 grams of carbon emissions per carat, whereas earth mined diamonds produce 37,000 grams per carat.
Certified Quality Diamonds
Lab-grown rough diamonds are cut, polished and graded just like their earth-mined equivalents. They have the same refractive index, dispersion and hardness, and are graded to the same standards as mined diamonds by leading independent gemological institutes.
All our center stones are delivered with a certificate from leading and independent gemological institutes
