FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long do lab-grown diamonds last?

Just like mined diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are made of pure carbon and rank 10 on the Mohs hardness scale. That means they’re incredibly durable and will last a lifetime—with proper care, they can be passed down for generations.

Q: Can you insure lab-grown diamonds?

Yes! Lab-grown diamonds can be insured just like natural diamonds. We recommend insuring your jewelry through a reputable provider using your diamond’s certification and appraisal documents.

Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of buying a lab-grown diamond?

Advantages:Ethical, sustainable, conflict-free, more affordable, identical in quality and beauty to mined diamonds.
Disadvantages:Lab-grown diamonds don’t have the same market resale value as rare natural diamonds—but most people buy them for their beauty and sentiment, not resale.

Q: What is the future of lab-grown diamonds?

The future is bright. As awareness grows around ethical sourcing and sustainability, lab-grown diamonds are becoming the preferred choice for conscious consumers. They’re already reshaping the jewelry industry—and demand continues to rise.

Q: How do companies create man-made diamonds to sell?

Lab-grown diamonds are created using two methods: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Both mimic the Earth’s natural diamond-forming conditions to grow real diamonds in a controlled lab environment.

Q: Do lab-grown diamonds fade over time?

No. Lab-grown diamonds do not fade, discolor, or cloud over time. Their brilliance and clarity remain just as vibrant as the day you bought them.

Q: What is a lab-grown diamond certificate?

A lab-grown diamond certificate is an official grading report issued by a gemological lab (like IGI or GIA). It verifies the diamond’s characteristics—such as cut, color, clarity, carat weight—and confirms it's lab-grown.

Q: Are lab-grown diamonds fake?

ot at all. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds—they’re just grown above ground, not mined. They're not simulants like cubic zirconia or moissanite.

Q: Do lab-created diamonds test as real diamonds?

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds pass diamond testers because they are chemically identical to natural diamonds. Only specialized gem lab equipment can tell the difference.
