Lab diamonds can be bought at up to 75% less cost compared to natural diamonds of similar size and quality, making them a cost-effective alternative.
Lab cultured diamonds are created with a significantly reduced cost on the environment— each carat of a lab diamond results in savings of:
- 143 lbs (65kg) of CO2,
- 2,011 ounces (57 kg) of air pollution,
- 250 tons (227 tonnes) of earth
In a word, yes. A lab grown diamond is made of exactly the same material (carbon) as a ‘real’ mined diamond. Although a lab grown diamond is made in a lab, it is still subjected to the same process a earth mined diamond goes through but in a speed up and controlled environment. The only difference between a natural diamond and a lab grown one is the how it was sourced, they are the same in every other way.
To add to their credibility, lab diamonds are also certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI) ensuring their quality and authenticity as real diamonds.
Lab-grown diamonds are typically up to 85-90% more affordable than mined ones. For example, a 1.00ct D VVS2 lab diamond might cost around $980, while a natural diamond of the same specifications could exceed $12,500. This means you can choose a larger or higher-quality stone for the same price. Explore our lab grown engagement rings to compare your options.
Lab grown diamonds are created using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond-growing process. They are made from carbon under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions (HPHT) or through chemical vapour deposition (CVD). Depending on the method, a lab diamond takes several weeks to grow, resulting in a stone identical in structure and brilliance to one formed deep underground.
Yes! Lab grown diamonds hold real value and their quality certification ensures lasting beauty and integrity. They are just as durable as mined diamonds while being more affordable and ethical.
In general, yes. Lab grown diamonds are considered more ethical and environmentally responsible than mined diamonds because they don’t require excavation or disrupt ecosystems. They are also free from conflict sourcing concerns. GS Diamonds offers only ethical lab diamonds, certified and responsibly produced.
You might also hear them referred to as man-made diamonds, lab created diamonds, synthetic diamonds, manufactured diamonds, or laboratory diamonds. Despite the different names, they all describe the same thing: a real diamond created using advanced technology that mirrors nature’s process.

Lab grown diamonds have the same lifespan as natural diamonds, and if looked after properly will last forever. A diamond is an extremely strong material; it sits at the top spot on the MOHs scale of hardness as a number 10. Make sure to get your diamond jewellery professionally cleaned every year to keep it in the best condition.
Lab grown diamonds will look identical to a mined diamond after they have been cut and polished. To the human eye there would be no difference, made of the same material the only way to tell the diamonds apart is with a gemologist. A gemologist is a trained professional who with the right equipment can see the diamonds fluorescence patterns which differ in lab diamonds.
You don’t have to worry about anyone spotting the difference if you buy a lab grown diamond ring, they are still as exquisite and stunning as a natural diamond.
Compared to mined diamonds, lab grown diamonds are better for the environment. Diamonds that are mined create a substantial amount of carbon emissions and use a high quantity of electricity. Lab grown diamonds don’t use any harmful chemicals in their production and only use a modest amount of electricity.
Lab-grown diamonds are certified by gemological institutes like IGI, which assess the stone's 4Cs (cut, color, clarity, and carat) using the same standards as natural diamonds. Each diamond is evaluated for shape, proportions, polish, symmetry, and light performance, with color and clarity graded under standardized conditions by multiple independent gemologists. The certification includes a detailed report and IGI Laserscribe that enhances the security further ensuring the integrity of the lab grown diamond certification process. This rigorous process guarantees the quality and integrity of the certified lab-grown diamond.
