Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?

Lab grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. Man-made diamonds bear no difference to a natural diamond – chemically, physically or visually.

How are lab diamonds created?

Lab diamonds are created in high-temperature chambers with high pressure, which reproduce the conditions in the Earth’s crust. The result of this reaction comes in the form of carbon atoms arranging in the structure of a diamond crystal – which offers the same brilliance and beauty as naturally mined diamonds.

What else are lab diamonds known as?

Lab grown diamonds are also known as man-made diamonds, lab created diamonds, synthetic diamonds or artificially created diamonds.

This setting has been engineered to perfectly emulate the natural process of a diamond’s growth – in both physical appearance and chemistry of the naturally mined diamond.
