Why lab-grown

A real diamond, grown above ground

A lab-grown diamond is made of the same pure carbon crystal as a mined diamond. It has the same hardness, the same fire, and the same sparkle. The only difference is where it was formed.

Chemically identical

Lab-grown and mined diamonds share the same chemical, physical and optical properties. A trained gemologist needs specialized equipment to tell them apart.

Independently graded

Independent laboratories grade lab-grown diamonds. IGI uses the familiar color, clarity, cut and carat grades. GIA places each lab-grown diamond in one of two categories: Premium or Standard.

More diamond for your budget

Lab-grown diamonds typically cost far less than mined diamonds of the same size and quality, so you can choose a larger or finer diamond.

Known origin

Each diamond comes from a controlled lab environment, so you know exactly where your diamond came from.

CutHow well the facets return light. It matters most for sparkle.
ColorOn IGI reports, graded from D (colorless) through Z.
ClarityFrom Flawless to Included, based on tiny inner marks.
CaratWeight. One carat is 0.2 grams.
