Yes! Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds.

Yes, of course a lab-grown diamond will pass a diamond tester. Diamond testers work by measuring the thermal conductivity or electrical conductivity of the stone, and since lab-grown diamonds have the same physical and chemical properties as mined diamonds, they will pass the test.

The only difference between a mined diamond and a lab-grown diamond is their origin. While mined diamonds are formed in the depths of the earth over millions of years, lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled laboratory environments within a much shorter time. Lab-grown diamonds have the same characteristics as mined diamonds but are a more affordable, ethical, and sustainable option.

Lab-grown diamonds are generally less expensive than mined diamonds. This is because the production process for lab-grown diamonds is more efficient and requires fewer resources than traditional mining. Despite being more affordable, lab-grown diamonds offer the same quality, beauty, and characteristics as mined diamonds.

Absolutely! All of our lab-grown diamonds are evaluated on cut, clarity, color, and carat weight and are IGI or Novus Diamond certified. Novus Diamond does the certification for diamonds under 0.70 carats. For diamonds over 0.70 carats, the certificate is issued by IGI. Most of our lab-grown diamonds are certified by the leading lab-grown gemological institute, IGI. The IGI is the most popular lab-created diamond certifier and is used by most of the lab market, creating consistency in grading across the lab-grown diamond industry.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are more ethical than mined diamonds. They are produced in controlled laboratory environments using advanced technology, which eliminates many of the ethical concerns associated with traditional diamond mining, such as human rights abuses and environmental damage. By choosing lab-grown diamonds, you can be confident that your purchase supports more sustainable and humane practices.

Just like mined diamonds, every lab-grown diamond is unique. However, since they are produced in controlled laboratory environments, many lab-grown diamonds exhibit high clarity and can be nearly flawless.

Lab-grown diamonds have a fascinating history that dates back to the mid-20th century. The first successful synthesis of a diamond was achieved in the 1950s by General Electric, using a high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) process. Initially, these diamonds were primarily used for industrial purposes due to their hardness. In the early 2000s, advancements in technology allowed for the production of gem-quality lab-grown diamonds suitable for jewelry.

Unlike mined diamonds, only lab-grown diamonds can be 100% conflict-free. Lab-grown diamonds are produced in controlled laboratory environments, which eliminates the risks associated with traditional diamond mining, such as funding armed conflicts and human rights abuses. It is near impossible to know the origins of a mined diamond and whether unsafe or unethical labor practices were involved in its extraction from the earth. By choosing lab-grown diamonds, you can be confident that your purchase does not contribute to these issues, making them a more ethical and responsible choice.

Lab-grown diamonds are an eco-friendly alternative to mined diamonds. Their production requires significantly less land disruption, water usage, and energy compared to traditional diamond mining, which can have substantial environmental impacts. Did you know that over 250 tons of ore must be moved just to mine one carat of diamond? Additionally, lab-grown diamonds do not contribute to deforestation or habitat destruction. By eliminating the need for mining, lab-grown diamonds reduce the devastating impact on the environment and ensure that natural habitats, wildlife, and ancestral communities remain unharmed in their production.

Diamond clarity refers to the presence of internal or external imperfections, known as inclusions and blemishes, respectively. The clarity scale ranges from Flawless (FL) to Included (I), with several grades in between. Flawless (FL) diamonds have no visible imperfections under 10x magnification, making them extremely rare and valuable. Internally Flawless (IF) diamonds have no internal imperfections but may have minor surface blemishes. Very, Very Slightly Included (VVS1 and VVS2) diamonds have minute inclusions that are very difficult to see under 10x magnification. Very Slightly Included (VS1 and VS2) diamonds have minor inclusions that are slightly more visible under magnification but still not noticeable to the naked eye. Slightly Included (SI1 and SI2) diamonds have inclusions that are more noticeable under magnification and may be visible to the naked eye. Included (I1, I2, and I3) diamonds have obvious inclusions that are visible without magnification and can affect the diamond's brilliance and durability. Understanding these differences helps you choose a diamond that meets your preferences for clarity and budget.

The 4Cs of diamonds refer to Carat, Cut, Color, and Clarity, which are the key characteristics used to evaluate a diamond's quality. Carat measures the diamond's weight, with larger diamonds being rarer and more valuable. Cut assesses how well the diamond has been shaped and crafted, impacting its brilliance and sparkle. Color grades the absence of color in a diamond, with colorless diamonds being the most desirable. Clarity evaluates the presence of internal or external imperfections, known as inclusions and blemishes, affecting the diamond's overall appearance. Understanding the 4Cs helps you make an informed decision when selecting a diamond, ensuring you find the perfect balance of quality and value.

After the marriage proposals, engagement rings are traditionally worn on the ring finger of the right hand and are moved to the ring finger of the left hand upon marriage. The left ring finger symbolizes a direct path to the heart of your beloved. For the ancient Egyptians and Romans, the left ring finger held special significance, as they believed a vein, known as the "vena amoris," ran directly from this finger to the heart. This symbolic connection has endured through the ages, representing a deep and unbroken bond of love. In many countries, engagement rings are worn on the left hand for this reason. Additionally, solitaire rings can be worn in front of the wedding band, further symbolizing the enduring commitment and love shared between partners.

When choosing the color of a diamond ring, consider your budget, partner's preferences and the overall look you want to achieve. Diamonds are graded on a color scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Colorless diamonds (D-F) are the most valuable and rare, offering a brilliant, icy appearance. Near-colorless diamonds (G-J) offer excellent value, as the slight color is undetectable to the untrained eye. Diamonds with more noticeable color (K-Z) can have a warm, unique charm and are typically more affordable. Additionally, consider the metal setting, as certain metals can complement or mask the diamond's color. White gold and platinum settings enhance the diamond's whiteness, while yellow and rose gold settings can harmonize with warmer diamond hues. Ultimately, choose a color that fits your partner’s style and your budget, ensuring a beautiful ring. You can check out our blog page to find more tips.

When buying an engagement ring, it's essential to consider several key factors. First, determine your budget beforehand and consider lab-grown diamonds as a more affordable option with the same beauty and quality as mined diamonds. Next, understand the 4Cs of diamonds—Carat, Cut, Color, and Clarity—as these determine the diamond's quality and value. Consider your partner's style and preferences by paying attention to their taste in jewelry, whether they prefer classic, vintage, modern, or unique designs. Choose a metal type that complements the diamond and suits their style, such as platinum, white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold. Lastly, ensure you know your partner’s ring size for a perfect fit, or have the ring resized later if necessary. It's crucial to purchase a ring with a certified diamond from reputable organizations like IGI to ensure quality and authenticity.
