Lab Grown Diamond Stud Earrings

Lab-grown diamond stud earrings are a fashion accessory that every woman should have in their jewelry collection. Lab diamonds are also commonly referred to as man-made diamonds. Contemporary, yet timeless, lab-grown diamond studs can elevate a casual outfit and can complement any formal outfit with a subtle touch of glam. Whether a pair of lab diamond earrings is given as a gift or is purchased for yourself, you can be sure they will become the ultimate staple piece that can follow you through many walks of life.

King Jewelers offers a wide selection of lab-grown diamond studs in 18K white gold, rose gold, yellow gold, and platinum! The best lab-grown diamond earring for a universally elegant look, would be round brilliant diamonds with either three or four prongs. One of the most commonly asked lab diamond questions is about how they look in comparison to natural ones. It’s actually been proven that it is nearly impossible for the naked eye to detect whether a diamond was made in a lab or mined from the earth. They look exactly the same! Lab diamond stud earrings are available in a plethora of sizes and colors so that you can pick the pair that best suits your personal aesthetic.

Benefit of Lab Grown Diamonds vs. Natural Diamonds

There are several factors that cause people to gravitate to investing in man made diamonds over naturally-mined ones. One of the biggest reasons for some people is the controversial ethics behind the natural diamond process. Diamonds from a mine are not always traceable and oftentimes have non-transparent sourcing information. With lab diamonds, you always know the exact origins of your diamonds and can rest assured that they were sourced ethically. 

Another reasoned to look into lab grown diamond earrings over natural diamond earrings is the environmental aspect. As many of you know, digging mines into the earth is detrimental to the planet and can oftentimes cause significant amounts of pollution. Diamonds made by man, in a lab, are going to emit far less harmless chemicals into the earth while utilizing the technology to create diamonds in mass quantities. 

Lastly, lab diamonds tend to be a much more affordable option for people looking for the high-quality and rare beauty of a real diamond, but in a more budget-friendly price range. On average, lab-grown diamonds tend to be about 30% less expensive than a naturally-mined diamond of equivalent size, color, cut, and clarity. This diamond alternative could provide you with a bigger, or better quality diamond than you would get for the price of a natural one.

Are Lab Diamonds Real Diamonds?

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are the exact same chemical makeup as natural diamonds. Basically, the labs have come up with two different processes for replicating the environment in which natural diamonds begin to form. 

The first process is called CVD, which uses a seed from another lab diamond that is then placed inside an airtight chamber, heated to over 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit, and filled with carbon-rich gases. The second process is called HPHT, which involves placing a small lab diamond seed into a piece of carbon that is then pressurized to about 1.5 million pounds per square inch and heated to over 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit. Both of these methods are environmental mocks of carbon that is pressurized and heated naturally under Earth’s surface! All methods result in beautiful sparkling diamonds!
