What is a Lab-Grown Diamond?

Natural diamonds are old-timers, formed deep in the earth over the course of billions of years.

Lab-grown diamonds, on the other hand, are made in a lab using a tiny slice of natural diamond as a seed.

Scientists use fancy machines to mimic the heat and pressure of the Earth, turning that seed into a full-sized diamond.

These lab-grown gems are made of real carbon, just like natural diamonds, and look the same to the naked eye.

Lab-Grown Vs. Natural Diamonds

Both natural and lab-grown diamonds are made of the same stuff—carbon, heat, and pressure team up to create the sparkle we all love.

Natural

Natural diamonds take ages to form and are pretty rare, which is why they tend to hold or even gain value over the years. If you buy a natural diamond from us, you can always trade it in later if you want to size up or switch things around.

Lab-Grown

Lab-grown diamonds are easier to make, so they cost less up front. Their prices have dropped in recent years, so they don’t usually hold their value like natural diamonds do. After 30 days, all sales of lab-grown diamonds are final, and they aren’t eligible for trade-in down the road.

Responsibly Sourced

Folks have different opinions about the environmental and social impact of lab-grown versus natural diamonds. No matter which you pick, we only sell diamonds that are conflict-free and responsibly sourced.

Your Diamond Choice

To most folks, natural and lab-grown diamonds look exactly the same. Jewelers like us have special tools to tell them apart, but you’d never notice just by looking.

In the end, the best diamond is the one that fits your style, values, and budget. Our team is here to walk you through your choices, so you feel good about whatever diamond you pick.
