As lab-grown diamonds rise in popularity, one question keeps coming up:
Are they real diamonds?
The short answer: Yes. 100% real.
But let’s go deeper.
At Aminov Jewelry Company, we offer both natural and lab-grown diamond jewelry—each certified, ethically sourced, and beautifully crafted. If you’re curious about how lab-created diamonds compare to mined ones, this guide is for you.
What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds (also called lab-created or man-made diamonds) are made using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond formation process—high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
-
Same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds
-
Graded by GIA or IGI using the same standards (4 Cs)
-
Formed in weeks, instead of billions of years
They’re not simulants like cubic zirconia or moissanite—they’re actual diamonds.
Lab-Grown vs Natural Diamonds: What’s the Difference?
Feature | Lab-Grown Diamond | Natural Diamond |
---|---|---|
Origin | Created in a lab | Formed deep within Earth |
Appearance | Identical to the eye | Identical to the eye |
Composition | Pure carbon | Pure carbon |
Price | More affordable | Higher due to rarity |
Ethical Impact | Low environmental impact | Depends on sourcing practices |
Certification | IGI, GIA, etc. | IGI, GIA, etc. |
From a gemological standpoint, there is no visible difference without specialized equipment.
Are Lab-Grown Diamonds a Good Investment?
While natural diamonds may hold or increase value over time due to rarity, lab-grown diamonds are ideal for buyers focused on beauty, size, and sustainability at a better price point.
Think of it like technology—you get high-quality performance at a more accessible cost.
