Is ice real if it’s made in your freezer? Sure. The same goes for lab grown diamonds. They’re natural, just made in a different way. Lab created diamonds are atomically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds. In 2018, the FTC ruled, “A diamond is a diamond no matter whether it is grown in a lab or comes out of the ground.” 

Are all lab grown diamonds the same? No. Each lab grown diamond is individual. Lab grown diamonds are not made with a cookie cutter. Lab grown diamonds still have a mind of their own and each one is unique! There are two types of lab created diamonds—CVD diamonds and HPHT diamonds. In both processes, the diamond seed passes on its characteristics to the newly formed diamond. 

You should purchase lab grown diamonds with the same care and attention to detail as a natural diamond, as their prices fluctuate based on the 4C’s in precisely the same way as mined diamonds’ do.
