Lab-Grown vs Earth-Mined Diamonds

Nothing to Hide — Both Are Real Diamonds

Lab-grown and earth-mined diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical. Both are carbon crystals with the same sparkle, hardness, and durability.

grown in a lab

Lab-Grown Diamonds

Created in advanced laboratories that replicate the natural diamond-growing process using heat and pressure. They are more sustainable, often at a lower price, while being indistinguishable from mined diamonds.

mined from earth

Earth-Mined Diamonds

Formed naturally over billions of years deep within the earth. Many choose them for their traditional origin.

Lab-Grown vs Earth-Mined Diamonds FAQs

Both are real diamonds with identical beauty and durability. Only the origin differs.

Are lab-grown and earth-mined diamonds both real?
Yes. They are chemically, physically, and optically identical; the only difference is origin.
What is a lab-grown diamond?
A diamond grown in modern labs by recreating natural conditions (HPHT or CVD).
What is an earth-mined diamond?
A diamond formed naturally over billions of years underground and then mined.
Which should I choose?
Choose lab-grown for value and sustainability; choose earth-mined for a natural origin. Both are certified and equally durable.
Do you certify both?
Yes—every finished piece is certified and independently quality-checked.
