Our lab created diamonds are grown from diamond seeds of pre-existing diamonds. With advanced technology may that be either extreme pressure and heat (HPHT) or a special deposition process known as CVD - mimics the method of natural diamond formation. A lab diamond can only be distinguished from natural diamonds using specialised equipment that can detect the minor differences in trace elements and crystal growth.
Lab Grown Diamond Ring Settings
Our Lab Grown Diamond Engagement ring settings will always be created with Lab Grown side diamonds. We create all our Lab Grown Engagement rings using high quality E/F Colour -VS+Clarity stones to match your IGI certified Centre Diamond.
Lab Grown Diamonds vs. Diamond Simulants
It is important to note that there are major distinctions between lab diamonds and diamond simulants. Diamond simulants, such as moissanite and cubic zirconia look similar to diamonds but they are not true carbon crystals and have double refractive where diamonds have single refractive. Simulants do not have the same chemical and physical properties as natural diamonds and therefore sell at much lower prices than lab grown diamonds. You can see the difference of a Simulant versus a natural or lab grown diamond by using only the naked eye.
