Why Lab Made Diamonds Are the Future of Fine Jewellery

At Lab Made Diamonds, we believe that innovation is key to creating beautiful and ethical jewellery that doesn’t compromise on quality or style. In this blog, we’ll explore what lab made diamonds are, how they compare to natural diamonds, and why they are fast becoming the future of fine jewellery.

What Are Lab Made Diamonds?

To put it simply, lab made diamonds are real diamonds, just grown in a laboratory rather than mined from the earth. Using cutting-edge technology, these diamonds are created by replicating the natural process that forms diamonds in the earth’s mantle. The result is a diamond that has the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as a mined diamond. In fact, even gemologists have a hard time distinguishing between the two without specialised equipment.

There are two main methods used to create lab made diamonds:

1. High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT): This process mimics the extreme pressure and heat that forms diamonds deep within the earth. A small diamond seed is placed in a chamber and exposed to high pressure and temperature, causing carbon to form around it and create a larger diamond.

2. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): In this method, a thin slice of diamond is placed in a chamber filled with carbon-rich gas. The gas breaks down, and the carbon atoms bond to the diamond slice, layer by layer, growing a new diamond over time.

Both methods produce lab made diamonds that are just as beautiful and durable as their natural counterparts.

Why Choose Lab Made Diamonds?

When choosing a diamond, many people now consider factors beyond just beauty and size. Ethical concerns, environmental impact, and cost all play an essential role in the decision-making process. Here are some of the key reasons why lab made diamonds are the future of fine jewellery:

1. Ethical Sourcing: One of the biggest advantages of lab made diamonds is that they are guaranteed conflict-free. The diamond mining industry has long been associated with unethical practices, including child labour, unsafe working conditions, and funding armed conflicts. By choosing a lab made diamond, you can be confident that your purchase is not contributing to these issues.

2. Environmentally Friendly: Traditional diamond mining has a significant environmental impact, including deforestation, soil erosion, and the displacement of wildlife. Mining also uses large amounts of water and energy, contributing to pollution and carbon emissions. In contrast, lab made diamonds are produced in a controlled environment with far less environmental impact. At Lab Made Diamonds, we prioritise sustainability in our production process, making us an eco-friendly choice.

3. Affordability: One of the most attractive aspects of lab made diamonds is that they are typically 20-40% less expensive than mined diamonds. This price difference allows you to get a larger or higher-quality diamond for the same budget. Whether you’re looking for an engagement ring, a pendant, or a pair of earrings, Lab Made Diamonds offers stunning options that won’t break the bank.

4. Quality and Beauty: There is no difference in the quality or beauty of lab made diamonds compared to natural diamonds. Both have the same sparkle, fire, and brilliance that diamonds are famous for. Lab Made Diamonds are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colours, so you can find the perfect piece of jewellery to match your style.

How Lab Made Diamonds Compare to Mined Diamonds

While lab made diamonds and mined diamonds are essentially identical in terms of appearance and composition, there are a few key differences that may influence your decision:

• Origin: The most obvious difference is the origin. Lab made diamonds are created in a lab, while natural diamonds are formed over millions of years in the earth’s mantle. For many consumers, the ethical and environmental benefits of lab-grown diamonds are the deciding factor.

• Price: As mentioned earlier, lab made diamonds are more affordable than natural diamonds. This makes them an attractive option for those who want a high-quality diamond without the hefty price tag.

• Rarity: Natural diamonds are rare, which is part of their allure. While lab made diamonds are not as rare, they offer the same beauty and quality without the environmental and ethical drawbacks.

• Certification: Like natural diamonds, lab made diamonds come with certifications from independent gemological institutes, ensuring that they meet the same standards of quality.
