What Are Lab Grown
Diamonds Really?

Lab-grown diamonds, also known as man-made diamonds, are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. The only difference? Their origin. Instead of forming underground over billions of years, these diamonds are grown in highly controlled lab environments using advanced technology that replicates the conditions under which natural diamonds form in the earth’s mantle.

There are two main methods used to create lab-grown diamonds: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Both processes start with a diamond seed — a tiny slice of carbon — which is exposed to extreme conditions that cause carbon atoms to build up layer by layer, forming a rough diamond crystal. These diamonds are then cut and polished in the same way as their mined counterparts.

Are Lab Grown Diamonds
Actually Real Diamonds?

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds — not simulants like cubic zirconia or moissanite. They share the same crystal structure, hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), brilliance, and chemical composition as mined diamonds.

Lab-grown diamonds are indistinguishable from natural diamonds without specialized equipment, and even professional gemologists rely on advanced tools to identify their origin. They are graded using the same standards — the 4Cs: cut, color, clarity, and carat weight — and certified by the same leading gemological institutions, including the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).

Why Would You Choose
Lab Grown Diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds offer a modern, conscious alternative to traditional mined diamonds. Here’s why more people are making the switch:

Ethical Sourcing: Lab-grown diamonds are free from the environmental and social challenges associated with diamond mining. No displacement of communities. No conflict zones. No exploitation.

Sustainability: Producing diamonds in a lab consumes far fewer natural resources and leaves a much smaller environmental footprint compared to traditional mining operations.

Value for Money: Because the supply chain is shorter and more efficient, lab-grown diamonds often cost 60–80% less than mined diamonds of similar quality — allowing you to get more size and sparkle for your budget.

Innovation with Integrity: Lab-grown diamonds represent the future of fine jewelry — where transparency, technology, and timeless beauty come together.

How Are Laboratory Grown Diamonds Certified?

Just like natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds undergo rigorous grading and certification. At Clarity Diamond, every diamond we sell is certified by respected gemological laboratories like the GIA. These certificates provide a full breakdown of the 4Cs and often include a laser inscription on the girdle of the diamond, identifying it as lab-grown.

This certification process ensures you know exactly what you're purchasing — no guesswork, no vague claims, and no compromises.

Laboratory Grown VS Natural: What’s The Difference?

In terms of beauty, strength, and brilliance, there’s no visible difference between lab-grown and natural diamonds. The only distinction is how they’re made.

Natural Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth over billions of years under intense pressure and heat.

Lab-Grown Diamonds are created in a matter of weeks using technology that mirrors the exact same conditions.

Both are made of pure carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice. Both will last forever. The biggest difference? Lab-grown diamonds come without the legacy of environmental harm, human conflict, or opaque supply chains.
