Lab grown diamonds have taken the jewelry industry by storm after decades of scientific research. Technological innovations and advancements have allowed gemologists to create diamonds in a laboratory. Compared to naturally grown diamonds, the process of creating diamonds in a lab takes only a fraction of the time. Now, manufacturers can make diamonds on a much larger scale to meet the needs of the demanding jewelry industry. It’s important to keep in mind that man-made diamonds differ from synthetic, or “fake diamonds.” However, each lab-grown diamond is, in fact, a true diamond that was cultured in a lab rather than in an underground mine. The two are composed of the exact same materials and are cut, polished, and processed the same way. Featuring the same clarity, color, and brilliance of natural diamonds, these lab-created diamonds remain nearly indistinguishable.

One of the most popular reasons consumers prefer cultured diamonds over naturally-mined diamonds has to do with the ecological aspect. Lab-grown diamonds reduce the amount of pollution and harm to the earth by a significant amount due to the controlled environment. Another reason has to do with the drastic difference in price. Because these diamonds can be created in a lab, mass quantities can be distributed in a shorter amount of time. Therefore, the price is roughly 20-30 percent less than that of natural diamonds. Younger couples have been drawn to man-made stones because they can stay in their budget without sacrificing the quality of their diamond.
