They are real genuine diamonds! Labs created diamonds display the same physical, chemical, and optical characteristics as natural diamonds, along with the same intensity, brilliance, and sparkle. Labs created diamonds are nearly impossible to differentiate from natural diamonds with the naked eye. Lab grown diamonds test positive on a diamond tester because they're made of crystallized carbon, just as mined diamonds are. Lab grown diamonds can be distinguished from natural diamonds if specialized equipment is used to test them.

All lab-grown diamonds are treated the same as mined diamonds, they are sent to an independent gem labs to be certified by an expert diamond grader. The process for grading lab-grown diamonds is the same as traditional mined diamonds and focuses on the cut, clarity, carat, and color of each gemstone. They have a laser inscription on the griddle as do mined diamonds.

Just like a mined diamond, laboratory grown diamonds can be insured. The annual premium of the insurance policy is based on replacement cost.

Customers looking for a mining-free alternative or a larger stone within their budget may prefer lab diamonds as they are generally at a lower price point compared to naturally mined options. Since lab diamonds are a more recent introduction to the market, they currently have not established a resale value. As with any gemstone, the resale value can vary over time.

Quite simply, a laboratory-grown diamond is a diamond: carbon atoms arranged in a diamond cubic crystal structure. ... Grown diamonds and mined diamonds have the exact same physical properties. A cubic zirconia or moissante is not a diamond. It is merely a diamond simulant, meaning that it looks similar but not exactly like a diamond.

No, lab created diamonds will vary in color, clarity, and cut just like naturally mined diamonds. Each one is unique and may contain minor internal or surface inclusions and are similar comparable to high quality mined diamonds. Lab diamonds are evaluated and graded by independent gemological using the same strict standards as mined diamonds.
