Yes.
One of our most frequently asked questions centres around whether lab grown diamonds are ‘real’ and the answer is yes.
Given that lab grown diamonds are identical to mined diamonds, they are very much the real deal. The difference with a lab grown diamond which makes people question their validity is their origin, with lab grown diamonds beginning in the lab and mined diamonds beginning in the earth’s mantle.
However, the origin and the use of technology does not change the fact that both types of diamond of physically, chemically and optically identical.
Lab grown diamonds are very different from other items that attempt to mimic the optical characteristics of a diamond such as diamond simulants, they are just as real as a mined diamond.
The notion that these diamonds are fakes or synthetic, is simply incorrect and lab grown diamonds are often misunderstood due to these labels people give them.
