Everything You Need to Know About Lab-Grown Diamonds

A complete customer guide to real diamond brilliance, quality and value.

What Is a Lab-Grown Diamond?

A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond created in a controlled laboratory environment using advanced technology. It has the same basic chemical composition, crystal structure and optical properties as a mined diamond. The main difference is its origin.

How Are They Made?
