Shopping for a diamond? One of the biggest questions you’ll face is whether to choose a natural diamond or a lab-grown diamond. Both are real diamonds—but there are key differences in origin, price, value, and perception.

At Aminov Jewelry Company, we specialize in both natural and lab-grown diamond jewelry, offering expert guidance and certified stones in every piece. Here’s what you need to know to make the right decision.

What Is a Natural Diamond?

  • Formed: Over billions of years beneath the Earth’s surface

  • Origin: Mined from deep within the earth

  • Uniqueness: Each diamond is naturally one of a kind

  • Value: Often holds long-term value due to rarity and market demand

  • Certification: Typically certified by institutions like GIA

Natural diamonds are prized for their story, geological history, and prestige. They’re often preferred for engagement rings and heirloom pieces.

What Is a Lab-Grown Diamond?

  • Formed: In a controlled laboratory setting using high heat and pressure

  • Chemistry: Identical to natural diamonds—same carbon structure and sparkle

  • Sustainability: Often seen as an eco-friendlier and more ethical option

  • Price: Usually 30–50% more affordable than natural diamonds

  • Certification: Can also be GIA or IGI certified

Lab-created diamonds are perfect for buyers who want a larger or higher-clarity diamond at a lower cost, without compromising beauty or brilliance.
