Lab grown diamonds, known as lab-created diamonds, artificial diamonds, synthetic diamonds or cultivated diamonds, also consist of carbon atom structures containing the same chemical and optical characteristics of natural diamonds. In essence, they are almost exactly the same as natural diamonds except for their different point of origin. When selecting the best diamond ring, there are many factors to consider apart from including the design, pricing as well as the gemstones. Let us share why you should make lab grown diamonds a choice in your ring.
Save the Environment
Mined diamonds are formed through more than millions of years of extreme pressure and heat where carbon atoms become beautiful diamonds that we all know. However, mined diamonds damage the environment as mining uses explosives and large machinery which creates water pollution, promotes wastage of land and disturb the natural habitats. On top of that, harmful gases released and carbon emissions lead to air pollution. When creating the perfect cut and while searching for the best quality diamonds, the amount of mineral waste generated is unthinkable. There are many other environmental issues caused as well when operating such machinery.
Lab grown diamonds have been formed from being put through the same process of intense heat and pressure just like a natural diamond. However, the only difference is that this process is man-made and instead of millions of years along with all the environmental issues mined diamonds bring, the lab grown diamonds are created in just a few weeks.
Lab Grown Diamonds are Real Diamonds
Apart from the fact that they are man-made, lab grown diamonds are optically, chemically, and physically the same as natural diamonds unlike other common replacements such as the cubic zirconia. In this case, even most gemologists are unable to tell them apart from natural diamonds even after examining them. When worn, it is unlikely for anyone to be able to identify if a diamond is natural or lab grown because they are the same thing and the only thing that sets them apart is the certification which shows the origin of the diamond.
Lab grown diamonds are too priced based on the same factors including the cut, clarity, carat weight, color, shape, and certification, which makes it almost just the same as a mined diamond.
Enjoy the Beauty of a Real Diamond at a Fraction of the Cost
The first and most noticeable difference between lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds is the price. Although a mined diamond and a lab grown diamond may contain the same cut, clarity, shape, color and carat weight, the fact that natural diamonds are mined makes the price much higher which may be a consideration when selecting a diamond that fits your budget.
