Here are top commonly asked questions from our customers:

QUESTION 1: What is the difference between Diamond-cut and Faceted-cut gemstones?

ANSWER:

Unlike diamonds, most gemstones are cut to save weight and enhance color. This means you can have bulging bellies and other symmetry and make issues in gemstones that you wouldn’t see in diamonds. Diamond cut means the gemstone is cut closer to the standard proportions we see on Round Brilliant Diamonds. This can make setting gemstones much easier.

QUESTION 2: 
What is a lab-grown diamond?

ANSWER:

Lab-grown diamonds are diamonds. They are not simulants like CZ. Instead of forming over millions of years in the earth’s mantle, they are created in rough crystal form by scientists. They are optically, visually, and chemically identical to natural diamonds.

QUESTION 3: 
What is the difference between synthetic vs lab-grown vs imitation stones?

ANSWER:

Synthetic gem is a laboratory creation with essentially the same chemical composition, crystal structure, and properties as its natural counterpart. Other terms that are often used to describe synthetic gems are lab-created, man-made, created, and cultured. An imitation gem is any material that looks like a natural gem and is used in its place.

QUESTION 4: 
What are clarity enhanced diamonds?

ANSWER:

Clarity enhanced diamonds are diamonds that have had additional treatments that make their visual clarity better. The two main techniques used are laser drilling and fracture filling.
Laser drilling is used to burn away an inclusion or to create
a channel where bleaching agent can be used to improve an inclusion’s appearance. Fracture-filling involves injecting a feather with a glass-like substance to improve the stone’s apparent clarity. 

QUESTION 5: 
What are color enhanced diamonds?

ANSWER:

Just like all diamonds, color-enhanced diamonds are known for beauty, hardness, and durability. They require no special attention in daily use. By using either Irradiation or High Pressure/High Temperature (HPHT) methods, fancy colors can be achieved. Some colors require both methods. These are considered permanent treatments as it would take extreme temperatures to alter the color.

QUESTION 6: 
What is the difference between Diamond-cut and faceted-cut gemstone?

ANSWER:

Unlike diamonds, most gemstones are cut to save weight and enhance color.
This means you can have bulging bellies and other symmetry and make issues in gemstones that you wouldn’t see in diamonds. Diamond cut means the gemstone
is cut closer to the standard proportions we see on Round Brilliant Diamonds.
This can make setting gemstones much easier.

QUESTION 7: 
What's the difference between Lab-Grown VS imitation stones?

ANSWER:

Lab-grown gem is a laboratory creation with essentially
the same chemical composition, crystal structure, and properties
as its natural counterpart. An imitation gem is any material
that looks like a natural gem and is used in its place.


ETHICAL APPEAL

For consumers concerned about the ethical issues surrounding mined diamonds, Lab-Grown Diamonds present an attractive alternative.

SO WHAT ARE LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS

What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?

Lab-Grown Diamonds are optically, chemically, and physically, identical to natural diamonds and are created in a lab by scientists, grown in highly controlled laboratory environments using advanced technological processes that duplicate the conditions under which diamonds naturally develop beneath the Earth’s crust. Lab-grown diamonds provide the same luxurious diamond at flexible price points to fit anyone’s lifestyle. Lab-grown diamonds also offer the opportunity of a larger carat weight at lower costs. Lab-Grown diamonds are also called lab created diamonds, man made diamonds, engineered diamonds, sustainable diamonds and cultured diamonds.

Optically

Indistinguishable from the naked eye,
lab-grown diamonds present the same visible qualities
as their natural counterparts.

Chemically

Lab-grown diamonds are not simulants.
They are formed from rough crystals
taking an average of 2–4 weeks.

Physically

To confidently tell lab-grown and natural diamonds apart,
advanced instruments (which we have) are needed
to detect the physical aspects. 


What Is The Difference Between
Lab-Grown and Natural Diamonds

One was formed deep within the Earth,
the other was grown in a lab.
