Lab Grown or Natural: Choosing Your Diamond

Both are real diamonds, with the same sparkle, hardness and chemistry. The difference lies in origin, price and resale.

Lab grown

Created in a laboratory under the same conditions as nature, graded by the same institutes such as IGI and GIA, and considerably more affordable, which often means a larger or finer stone within the same budget.

Natural

Formed over billions of years and mined, rarer, and tends to hold more resale value.

What to look for

Ask for a grading certificate, choose a cut grade of Excellent or Ideal, and confirm the ring size and resizing options before you order. Explore our rings and bands.
