Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are as real as mined diamonds, only with a different origin.
With the increasing popularity of lab-grown diamonds internationally, most people have common queries such as “Are lab-grown diamonds fake or synthetic?” and “How can you spot the difference between an earth-grown diamond and a lab-grown diamond?”
Yes, lab-grown or cultivated diamonds are exactly the same as earth-grown diamonds. The only difference between the two - one is grown below the earth and the other is grown above the earth.
Cultivated diamonds have always existed even in India but they were created primarily for industrial use such as cutting tools etc.
Over time, the processes and technology used to create these diamonds, have evolved such that these diamonds can now be used in jewellery. Cultivated diamonds are created in machines with the use of high pressure and extreme temperature, replicating nature’s way of making diamonds. The end result- diamonds that are exactly the same as mined diamonds- physically, chemically & optically.
Even the most experienced jeweller cannot differentiate between an earth-grown and cultivated diamond and you need to use highly scientific tools in the labs to identify these diamonds. But reputed jewellers always declare the use of cultivated diamonds with the help of certification and the diamonds themselves come with inscription on the girdle, thereby ensuring consumers are not cheated.
