Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds
Real diamonds with the same carbon crystal as a natural stone, grown in a lab in a matter of weeks. They let you choose a larger or finer diamond for the same budget.
How they're made
Grown, then cut and polished
- CVD
- Carbon from a gas settles onto a thin diamond seed, layer by layer
- HPHT
- Carbon is pressed and heated the way the earth makes a diamond, only much faster
- Cutting
- Lab-grown rough is cut and polished exactly like a natural diamond
- Grading
- IGI grades most lab-grown diamonds. Every report states that the stone is lab-grown, and the girdle is laser inscribed

Choosing
Natural or lab-grown
They look the same and wear the same. The differences are origin, rarity, price, and how much value they hold later. We'll quote both side by side so you can decide with real numbers.
Can anyone tell a lab-grown diamond from a natural one?
Not by eye. It takes laboratory equipment, and every graded lab-grown stone is inscribed and reported as lab-grown.
Can I see diamonds before I decide?
Yes. Book a time and our GIA Graduate Gemologist will set out stones in your shape, size, and budget so you can compare them under the loupe.
Do you check the stone against its report?
Every time. We check the measurements, the inclusions, and the laser inscription if there is one against the report before we show you a diamond.
