Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. A lab grown diamond is chemically and optically identical to a mined diamond: the same carbon crystal, the same hardness, the same brilliance. The only difference is origin: ours are grown in a laboratory rather than dug from the ground.
What's actually different between lab grown and natural diamonds?
Origin, mostly. Side by side they're identical, and standard diamond testers read both simply as "diamond." A lab grown diamond is created in a controlled facility instead of being mined. One honest note: lab grown resale value is currently low, so choose a piece to wear and enjoy, not as a financial investment.
Will anyone be able to tell my diamond is lab grown?
Not by looking. It's a real diamond with the same fire and sparkle as a mined one. The only record of its origin is the IGI report, which states that the stone is laboratory grown.
Are your diamonds certified?
Center stones 1 carat and above come with an IGI report, included with your order and verifiable on IGI's website. The report documents the 4Cs: carat, color, clarity, and cut.
What quality are your diamonds?
Most are E to F color (colorless to near-colorless) with VS clarity (eye-clean). Fancy-color stones are graded on the intensity of their color instead. The exact 4Cs are listed on every product page.
What metals do you use?
14K and 18K gold (yellow, white, and two-tone) and PT950 platinum. The karat or platinum stamp on your piece matches what's listed on the page.
What is an old mine cut?
A vintage, cushion-shaped cut with a small table, high crown, and chunky facets that throw broad, candle-lit flashes rather than the sharp sparkle of a modern round. We cut these in house, which is why we can offer them when most sellers can't.
