Lab-grown diamonds are diamonds that are created in a controlled laboratory environment using advanced technological processes. They have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds and are indistinguishable from mined diamonds to the naked eye.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. They are identical to natural diamonds in every way, including hardness, brilliance, and durability. The only difference is their origin.

Lab-grown diamonds are created using two methods:

High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT): Mimics the natural conditions under which diamonds are formed
in the Earth.

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD):
Involves depositing carbon atoms onto a diamond seed in a chamber to grow
the diamond layer by layer.

Lab-grown diamonds are considered more environmentally friendly than mined diamonds because they require less land disturbance and have a smaller carbon footprint. However, the environmental impact varies based on the energy sources used during production.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are generally 20-40% less expensive than natural diamonds of comparable quality. This cost difference is due to their controlled production process and availability.

Specialized equipment is required to differentiate between lab-grown and natural diamonds. Both are virtually identical to the naked eye and even under magnification. Each lab-grown diamond sold by The Carat Lab is accompanied by certification that verifies its origin.

Yes, all our lab-grown diamonds are certified by reputable gemological laboratories such as IGI (International Gemological Institute) or GIA (Gemological Institute of America). These certificates provide detailed information about the diamond's quality and origin.
