What are lab grown diamonds?

Lab grown diamonds are created in a scientific laboratory
setting rather than being formed naturally underground. They have the same
physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds, but are much more
environmentally friendly as they don’t require meaning.

Are lab grown diamonds considered real?

Yes, lab grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. They’re made
from the same raw materials as mined diamonds – science has just managed to
speed up the process using technology.

Are lab grown diamonds more ethical?

Lab grown diamonds are generally considered more ethical
than mined diamonds due to being conflict-free, having a lower environmental
impact, and avoiding human rights concerns associated with certain mining
practices.

How can you tell the difference between lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds?

The quick answer is: you can’t! Lab grown diamonds are physically, optically and chemically identical to “natural” diamonds. The only difference between lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds is that one is made in a science lab and the other is mined from the earth. Even experienced jewellers would not be able to tell the difference without specialist equipment.

How much is a lab grown diamond ring?

The cost of a lab grown diamond ring varies based on things
like the size, quality and setting of the ring. Generally, lab grown diamonds
are more affordable than their mined counterparts.

Why are lab grown diamond rings more affordable?

Lab grown diamonds are often less expensive than natural
diamonds due to lower production costs and a more controlled manufacturing
process. They don't require mining, and the supply chain is typically shorter,
which means you can get a bigger lab grown diamond ring for your budget.

How to clean a lab grown diamond ring?

You can clean a lab grown diamond ring in the same way you’d clean any other ring: use warm water, washing up liquid and a soft tooth brush, or consider taking your ring to a jeweller for professional cleaning. Regular cleanings help maintain your diamond's sparkle.
