Question 1

What are Lab Grown Diamonds?

Accepted Answer

Lab Grown Diamonds are diamonds that are created in a laboratory setting rather than being mined from the Earth's crust. These laboratories mimic the conditions under which diamonds naturally develop under the earth over millions of years. They are physically, chemically and optically the same as natural diamonds. Even jewellers and gemologists cannot tell the difference between lab grown and natural diamonds.

Question 2

Are Lab Grown Diamonds real?

Accepted Answer

Lab Grown Diamonds are real diamonds. Despite being grown in reactors in labs, these diamonds possess the same physical and optical characteristics as natural diamonds. Any diamond is a diamond not because it is mined from the earth but because of its chemical composition. Both Lab Grown Diamonds and natural diamonds possess the same crystalline structure of carbon atoms. Hence Lab Grown Diamonds are real diamonds.

Question 3

Can you tell the difference between Lab Grown Diamonds and natural diamonds?

Accepted Answer

There is no way of differentiating between a lab diamond and a natural diamond by looking at them. Even a trained jeweller or expert cannot tell the difference between natural and Lab Grown Diamonds with their naked eyes or with normal microscopes. Only advanced equipment in gemological labs identify Lab Grown Diamonds.
