Q: What is the difference between a lab-grown diamond and a natural diamond?

Both are 100% real diamonds and cannot be distinguished without specialized equipment.

No, to the naked eye , lab-grown diamonds look exactly the same as natural diamonds. Even professional gemologists require specialized equipment to identify them. Lab-grown diamonds exhibit the same brilliance, fire, and durability as natural diamonds.

Q: Will I get a diamond grading report for my lab-grown diamond?

Yes! Just like natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are graded by leading gemological laboratories such as the IGI (International Gemological Institute) and GIA (Gemological Institute of America) . The grading report includes details about the diamond’s cut, color, clarity, and carat weight , ensuring full transparency about its quality.

Q: Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
