You have choices! So many breathtaking stones in the diamond category—every single one has something going for it. Have you given any thought to Lab-grown diamonds? If you’re ecologically minded, love the best characteristics of diamonds, and would like the biggest stone for your budget, you may already be on the track for a lab-grown diamond. 

First, you need to understand how lab-grown diamonds stack up against the natural earth-mined diamonds we all adore. The top-grade (yes there are grades!) of lab-grown diamonds can often outshine their natural counterparts. Here’s why.

Lab-Grown Diamonds Special Traits

Lab-grown diamonds took their cues in beauty and durability from the diamonds found in the earth. Natural diamonds are made of a single component, and that is carbon. It only took a couple of billion years under extraordinary conditions of extreme heat and high pressure to transform the lowly carbon into a crystal-clear sparkling jewel that we all go mad for. This unusual creation also made natural diamonds the hardest substance found on earth. 

Those are some pretty impressive traits. But guess what? Lab diamonds were created in a controlled environment to duplicate those same conditions under which diamonds were formed. By carefully inserting a minuscule diamond ‘seed’ into a pressurized and heated lab container, in one month, a bright colorless diamond is produced. The technology is an amazing feat and the world applauds the persistence it took to create high clarity, high color diamond crystals. 

What does that have to do with today’s diamond shopper? You likely are looking for something exceptional that is worthy of your special love. Something bright, highly dispersive like the finest diamond, and with clarity to amaze. You can have all that with a lab-grown diamond. Modern technology has produced lab-grown diamonds, also called synthetic diamonds. They have exceptionally high clarity, and their color is very high on the grading scale. Your stone will be admired by everyone who sees it and cherished by you for a lifetime.
