Are Lab Grown Diamonds Real Diamonds?



Absolutely YES!!…Lab Grown Diamonds are the Real Deal!

Rather than being created in the earth’s crust like a mined diamond, lab created diamonds are grown by scientists and are positively real – possessing the same optical and chemical properties as mined diamonds.

The Federal Trade Commission recently amended their Jewelry Guide to rule that anything chemically identical to a mined diamond, is in fact, a real diamond.

Expert Gemologists Can’t Tell the Difference Between a Mined Diamond & a Lab Grown Diamond.


The lab process duplicates what happens in nature, making it impossible for even the trained eye to tell the difference.

Benefits of a Lab Grown Diamond

  • Lab diamonds generally cost 30-65% less than a mined diamond.

  • Lab grown diamonds have minimal impact on the environment and require less energy to grow diamonds than to mine them from the earth.

  • Working conditions can be less than optimum in the diamond mines.

  • Lab grown diamonds are certified & graded to the same standards as mined diamonds.
