Lab Grown Diamonds - Mythbusters

Lab Grown Diamonds - What are they?

Lab Grown Diamonds are diamonds that are created in a laboratory setting rather than being mined from the Earth. These laboratory machines replicate the conditions under which diamonds are naturally created under the earth over millions of years. They are physically, chemically and optically the same as natural diamonds. Even jewellers and gemologists cannot tell the difference between lab grown and natural diamonds.

Are Lab Grown Diamonds original diamonds?

Yes. Lab Grown Diamonds are real diamonds. Despite being manufactured in machines in labs, these diamonds possess the same physical and optical characteristics as natural diamonds. 

A diamond is a diamond not because it is mined from the earth, but because of its chemical composition. Both Lab Grown Diamonds and natural diamonds possess the same crystalline structure of carbon atoms. Hence Lab Grown Diamonds are real diamonds.

What's the difference between Lab Grown & Natural Diamonds?

There is no way of differentiating between a lab diamond and a natural diamond by looking at them. Even a trained jeweller or expert cannot tell the difference between natural and Lab Grown Diamonds with their naked eyes or with normal microscopes. Only advanced equipment in gemological labs can identify Lab Grown Diamonds.

Are Lab Grown Diamonds worth it?

Yes. Lab Grown Diamonds last forever, just like mined natural diamonds. Just as jewellers offer buyback on natural diamonds, We at Aurishi offer buyback on Lab Grown Diamonds too. Aurishi offers buyback on Lab Grown Diamonds at 80% of market value.

Do Lab Grown Diamonds cost less than Natural Diamonds?

Yes. Lab Grown Diamonds tend to retail at a 70-80% discount on equivalent quality of natural diamonds. Lab Grown Diamonds are priced based on cut, colour, clarity and carat – just like natural diamonds.

Are Lab Grown Diamonds certified?

Yes. Lab created diamonds are graded the same way as mined diamonds. They are certified by all the leading gemological labs such as IGI, HRD, GIA, SGL, EGL. All the Lab Grown Diamonds used by Aurishi are graded and certified by these renowned international labs.

Are Lab Grown Diamonds like Zircon or Moissanite?

No. Lab Grown Diamonds are real diamonds. They are not synthetic materials like Zirconia or Moissanite. CZ or Moissanite are diamond simulants and not diamonds. Lab Grown Diamonds on the other hand are real diamonds.

Are Lab Grown Diamonds durable?

Yes. Lab Grown Diamonds are strong enough to hand down over the next generations! Diamonds are the hardest material on earth. They rank at 10 on Mohs Scale of hardness. Lab Grown Diamonds as well as natural diamonds have this same rank of 10, which means they’re extremely durable. Lab Grown Diamonds match their mined counterparts in hardness, strength and durability!

Do Lab Grown Diamonds fade over time?

No. Lab Grown Diamonds do not fade, discolour or cloud over time. Their beauty is timeless.

Are all Lab Grown Diamonds identical?

No. It's a myth that machines can be programmed to create a specific diamond grade and carat size but that’s really not possible. Machines simply put the right conditions together but then nature takes it from there. Just like with mined diamonds, there will be variances in colour, clarity and carat size in every piece.

Are Lab Grown Diamonds also graded on the Four Cs ?

Yes. Lab Grown Diamonds are also graded based on the 4Cs – Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat – just like natural diamonds.
