Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds created in a controlled laboratory. These high quality stones have no chemical, optical, or physical differences from a naturally mined stone, and are even created by the same natural forces, temperature and pressure. Visually to the naked eye, lab-grown diamonds appear identical to naturally mined stones. They rank at a 10 on the Mohs Hardness scale, exemplifying utter durability. Lab-grown diamonds do not involve mining, leaving a smaller carbon footprint on our environment, making them the perfect diamond choice for consumers that value Mother Earth. Generally, lab-grown diamonds are more affordable, giving a more luxury stone at a more accessible price point.
