Lab Grown Diamond Education

Lab created diamonds have identical properties as mined diamonds, including physical, chemical, and optical qualities. Lab created diamonds are graded in the same manner as mined diamonds; inspected professionally for Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat by certified diamond graders. The primary difference between the two is where they are made, either in a mine over millions of years or in a lab with a process that mimics the natural process in a much shorter timeframe. You need special equipment to test a diamond to find if it is lab-made or natural. Additionally, because of the shortened time process, lab grown diamonds are offered at a lower price.
