Lab Grown Diamonds in India – Meaning, Price and Benefits

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds with the same chemical composition, brilliance, durability, and hardness as mined diamonds. They score 10 on the Mohs scale and are certified using the same 4Cs grading standards by GIA and IGI.

Lab-grown diamonds cost less because they do not require mining, intermediaries, or complex supply chains. The production process is efficient, which makes them 30%–70% more affordable than mined diamonds of the same size, clarity, and quality.

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are certified and graded by the same independent gemological laboratories that grade natural diamonds, including GIA and IGI. Pure Jewels provides GIA/IGI-certified diamonds along with BIS-hallmarked gold for every jewellery piece.

Lab-grown diamonds are considered ethical because they are conflict-free, environmentally responsible, and produced without harmful mining practices. They avoid land disruption, water pollution, and labor-related concerns associated with some mining environments. Their sourcing is transparent and environmentally conscious.

Both natural and lab-grown diamonds experience market-driven price changes. Lab-grown diamonds typically have a lower resale value because they can be produced efficiently in laboratories. However, they offer exceptional value, larger sizes within budget, and certified quality, making them ideal for personal wear rather than investment.
