Frequently Asked Questions

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds that are created in a controlled environment in a laboratory using advanced technologies that follow the natural process. These diamonds are physically, chemically, and optically the same as natural mined diamonds. Even the big jewellers and gemologists cannot tell the difference between lab grown and natural diamonds.

The only key difference between lab grown and mined (natural) diamonds is their origin. Lab diamonds are created in a laboratory, while mined diamonds are formed naturally over millions of years beneath the Earth's surface. Both have the same look, durability, and shine.

No, there is no way of telling the difference between a lab grown diamond and a naturally mined diamond by only looking at them. Even an expert cannot tell the difference with normal microscopes. Only advanced equipment used in the gemological labs can identify Lab Grown Diamonds.

Yes, it is worth buying lab-grown diamonds due to several reasons. They can be easily affordable, eco-friendly, and sustainable, and offer the same quality and durability as mined diamonds at a lower price.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. They are made up of pure carbon, exactly like mined diamonds, and have the same hardness, brightness, and sparkle.

Despite being created in laboratory reactors, these diamonds have the same physical and visual properties as natural diamonds. A diamond is known as a real diamond due to its chemical composition rather than its origin in the ground.

• Cost-effective: Usually 30% to 40% less prices than the mined diamonds.
• Eco-friendly: They cause less harm to the environment.
• Ethical: Free from the ethical concerns associated with diamonds.
• Easily Customizable: Available in a number of colours, sizes, and textures.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are similarly as durable as naturally mined diamonds. With a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, these diamonds will also last forever (diamonds are the hardest material on the earth), which makes them a perfect choice for engagement rings and diamond jewelry.

Yes, Lab-grown diamonds also have high resale value, but as compared to the natural diamonds, the value tends to be lower than the purchase price. But their cheaper prices could help with this concern.

Lab diamonds are made using two primary methods:

HPHT (High Pressure, High Temperature): In this method a person follows the same natural diamond creation process.
CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition): It is the process of growing diamond crystals from carbon gas in a controlled atmosphere.

Yes, lab grown diamonds are graded and certified as the same by authorized gemological institutions like the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) or IGI (International Gemological Institute) based on the 4 Cs: cut, color, clarity, and carat.

All the Lab Grown Diamonds used by Pure Jewels are graded and certified by them.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds normally cost 30 to 40% less than natural diamonds of equal grade due to a faster production procedure and less making expenses.

Lab diamonds are less expensive because they are produced by the companies in a few weeks instead of millions of years and also avoids the high costs associated with mining process, transportation, and other environmental impacts.

No, lab-grown diamonds are not the same as synthetic diamonds or moissanite.

These are diamond simulants and on the other hand, Lab Grown Diamonds are the real diamonds.

No, lab diamonds will not change color, or lose their shine, or sparkle over time. Like real diamonds, they are durable and maintain their beauty forever.

• Always choose a reputable jeweller with high positive reviews.
• Look for certification from reputable institutions like GIA, IGI, etc.
• Also, ensure a secure payment process and return policies.
