frequently asked questions
What are Lab Grown Diamonds?
Lab grown diamonds are created in controlled laboratory environments using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond-growing process. Just like the ones mined from the earth, these diamonds have the same physical, chemical, and optical characteristics. To the naked eye, they are indistinguishable from natural diamonds.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds real diamonds?
Yes, lab grown diamonds are real diamonds with the same composition and properties as those mined from the earth. Their authenticity comes from their crystalline carbon structure, making them true diamonds, not imitations.
How can you differentiate Lab Grown Diamonds from Natural diamonds?
It’s virtually impossible to distinguish lab grown diamonds from natural diamonds just by looking at them. Even professionals like jewellers and gemologists need specialized equipment to tell them apart, as both share identical appearances.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds a good purchase?
Absolutely! Lab grown diamonds offer the enduring beauty and durability of traditional diamonds and are a smart purchase. BLING ensures a secure investment with upto 80% buyback offer on these diamonds, just like with natural diamonds.
Do Lab Grown Diamonds cost less than natural diamonds?
Yes, lab grown diamonds generally cost 60-90% less than their natural counterparts while maintaining the same quality, cut, color, clarity, and carat. This makes them an excellent value for the quality you receive.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds graded and certified?
Yes, just like mined diamonds, lab grown diamonds are evaluated and graded by leading gemological institutes such as IGI, GIA, SGL, and EGL. BLING uses only certified and graded lab grown diamonds, ensuring high quality and transparency.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds the same as synthetic diamonds or moissanite?
No, lab grown diamonds are real diamonds and should not be confused with diamond simulants like cubic zirconia or moissanite, which merely imitate the appearance of diamonds. Lab grown diamonds are genuine and identical to natural diamonds in their structure.
How durable are Lab Grown Diamonds?
Lab grown diamonds are exceptionally durable, scoring a 10 on the Mohs Scale of hardness the highest possible rating, shared with natural diamonds. This makes them a perfect choice for jewellery that lasts across generations.
Will Lab Grown Diamonds lose their color or sparkle over time?
No, lab grown diamonds will not lose their sparkle, fade, or discolor over time. Their beauty is as enduring as that of any diamond from the earth.
Do all Lab Grown Diamonds look the same?
No, each lab grown diamond is unique. While the creation process is initially controlled, the resulting variations in color, clarity, and carat size naturally occur, just as with mined diamonds.
Do Lab Grown Diamonds have the same classifications as natural diamonds?
Yes, lab grown diamonds are classified according to the same four Cs used for natural diamonds: Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat. This ensures that each diamond is assessed with the same rigorous standards.
Are lab-grown diamonds environmentally friendly?
Lab-grown diamonds are often promoted as environmentally friendly because they don’t require mining, which can harm the earth. However, they do consume a significant amount of energy to produce.
Can lab-grown diamonds be used for engagement rings?
Absolutely! Lab-grown diamonds are becoming increasingly popular for engagement rings. They offer the same beauty and durability as natural diamonds and are a more affordable option. Some people prefer them for their accessibility and ethical production methods.
What should I consider when choosing between natural and lab-grown diamonds?
The choice between natural and lab-grown diamonds depends on personal preference. Natural diamonds are valued for their unique history and rarity, while lab-grown diamonds offer a modern, sustainable, ethical and accessible alternative.
How can I ensure my diamond is sustainable?
Look for an IGI certification that includes sustainability verification. If a diamond is certified as sustainable by IGI, it will be noted in the grading report.
Are lab-grown diamonds eco-friendly?
Not always. The production of lab-grown diamonds requires significant energy, often from non-renewable sources. However, some manufacturers use hydroelectric power, making their diamonds more environmentally friendly. Always check the energy sources used by the producer.
How are lab-grown diamonds graded?
Before they are sold, lab-grown diamonds undergo thorough quality assessments by institutions like IGI. They are tested to determine if they are natural, lab-grown, or simulants. Expert gemologists then grade them based on the 4Cs: Carat, Color, Clarity, and Cut, using stringent international standards.
