Earth Mined Diamonds, Lab Grown DIamonds, and Making an Informed Decision  Georgetown Jewelers Wood Dale, IL

Earth Mined Diamonds, Lab Grown DIamonds, and Making an Informed Decision

What Are Lab Grown Diamonds?

Laboratory Grown Diamonds are physically, chemically, and optically the same as Earth Mined Diamonds. The only difference between the two is their nature of origin. Laboratory Grown Diamonds are grown in a laboratory, a process which can take only weeks to complete, while Earth Mined Diamonds are grown over billions of years naturally in the Earth.

Why choose a Laboratory Grown Diamond?

It is a very personal choice whether one desires an Earth Mined Diamond, or a Laboratory Grown Diamond. In the end, it is YOUR choice, and we are just here to help provide you with all of your options. Some of our clients may choose a Lab Grown Diamond because the prices tend to more affordable. They still get the same stunning look as an Earth Mined Diamond, and no one would know the difference!

It is a very personal choice whether one desires an Earth Mined Diamond, or a Laboratory Grown Diamond. In the end, it is YOUR choice and we are just here to help provide you with all of your options. Some of our clients desire Earth Mined Diamonds because since they take millions of years to form, they are rarer than Lab Grown Diamonds. Natural Diamonds also tend to retain their value, while Lab Grown Diamonds do not.

Can people tell the difference between Natural and Lab Grown Diamonds?

In short, no, there is no visible difference between the two. Gemologists and Jewelry Professionals can tell the difference with the right equipment. All Lab Grown Diamonds should have a laser inscription on the girdle edge that can only be seen under high magnification, There are also machines that can detect Lab Grown Diamonds by measuring their reaction to UV rays, as well as identify trace elements found within Diamonds.
