What is a lab-grown diamond?

A real diamond, created using advanced technology.

This text is larger A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond created in a controlled laboratory environment.

Instead of forming naturally inside the Earth over geological time, it is grown using advanced technology that recreates the conditions needed for diamond formation.

Lab-grown and natural diamonds are chemically the same.

Both are made of carbon atoms arranged in the same diamond crystal structure.

They have the same fundamental:

• Chemical composition

• Crystal structure

• Physical properties

• Optical properties

• Hardness and durability

The key difference is origin.

The simple difference:

Natural diamond
Formed naturally in the Earth.

Lab-grown diamond
Created using technology in a controlled environment.

Lab-grown does NOT mean:

Fake diamond
Cubic zirconia
Glass
Diamond imitation

Lab-grown means:

A real diamond with a laboratory origin.
