frequently asked questions
Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section! We understand that you may have questions about our products, services, or policies, and we're here to provide you with all the information you need.
What is a lab-grown diamond?
A lab-grown diamond is a diamond created in a controlled laboratory setting using advanced technology. They have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds but are produced much faster and are often more affordable.
Are your diamonds certified?
Most of our diamonds above 0.30 carat come with an international diamond grading report, mainly IGI & GIA, one of the most respectable diamond labs in the world.
Do lab-grown diamonds retain their value?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds do retain value, though their resale value can be lower compared to natural diamonds. They offer affordability, ethical production, and environmental benefits, making them a popular choice for many buyers.
Are lab-grown diamonds the same as natural diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are virtually identical to natural diamonds in terms of physical, chemical, and optical properties. Even trained gemologists need specialized equipment to tell them apart.
What impact do lab-grown diamonds have on the environment compared to natural diamonds?
Yes! Lab-grown diamonds have a much lower impact on the environment compared to natural diamonds. Traditional diamond mining harms land, uses a lot of energy, and can pollute water and air. In contrast, lab-grown diamonds are created in a controlled environment using advanced technology, which reduces energy use and eliminates land damage. Some labs even use renewable energy, making them an eco-friendly and sustainable choice.
Are lab-grown diamonds more ethical than natural diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are often considered more ethical because they avoid the issues associated with mining, such as human rights abuses and environmental damage. However, ethical sourcing and fair trade practices can also make natural diamonds a responsible choice.
Do lab-grown diamonds come with certification?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds come with grading reports from reputable gemological laboratories. These reports provide detailed information on the diamond's characteristics, including the 4Cs: cut, color, clarity, and carat weight.
Are colored lab-grown diamonds available?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds can be produced in various colors, including yellow, blue, and pink, by adding specific elements during the growth process.
