Lab Grown Diamonds by The Jewelry Center

Great question! The Jewelry Center uses incredible diamond technology that allows the creation of lab grown diamonds at a much more affordable cost. As one of the only retailers in the country with access to this technology, we pass these savings on to you!

The answer is very simple, yes. They are not cubic zirconias, they are not crystals. Lab grown diamonds have the exact physical and chemical properties of a natural diamond.

The only difference between a lab diamond and a mined diamond is its origin. A lab-created diamond is “grown” with specialized equipment that replicates the process that occurs naturally underground. The end result? A lab-created diamond that is physically the same as those that are mined. Lab grown diamonds can also be referred to as synthetic diamonds, man-made diamonds, or manufactured diamonds. Whatever term you choose to use, know that lab grown diamonds are the real deal.

Generally, yes. Every mined carat of diamond disturbs 100 square feet of land and requires 6000 pounds of mineral waste – while lab diamonds disturb much less. Mined diamonds also average one injury for every 1,000 workers annually. Lab-grown diamonds average zero.

There is only one person who can answer that question. You! It all comes down to what you value in a diamond and an engagement ring.

Natural diamonds can give a feeling of mystery and significance. Created over billions of years, they truly are one of nature’s beautiful miracles. Lab-created diamonds on the other hand, can signify a more modern love. It can feel empowering to wear something that is the result of an incredible progression of our technology.

While some may try and tell you which is “better,” the most important truth is the message behind the diamond. At the end of the day, all diamonds – natural or lab – represent love.
