Lab Grown vs. Natural Mined Diamonds: What’s the Difference?

Lab Grown vs. Natural Mined Diamonds: What’s the Difference?

Posted by Poppy Finch on

Diamonds may look the same at first glance, but can differ greatly on how they are created. If you’re deciding between a lab-grown diamond and a natural mined diamond, here’s our breakdown to help you make a decision you can feel good about. 

Natural Mined Diamonds

Natural diamonds are formed deep within the earth over billions of years and brought to the surface through mining. Each stone is a product of time, pressure, and nature — no two are ever exactly alike.

Lab-Grown Diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled environments using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond-growing process. Chemically, physically, and visually, they are true diamonds. Like natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are graded and certified based on cut, color, clarity and carat. 

Because they are grown rather than mined, lab-grown diamonds typically come with a lower price point and a reduced environmental impact.
