About your lab grown diamond
What are lab-grown diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are diamonds that are created in a controlled laboratory environment using technological processes that replicate the natural conditions under which diamonds form in the earth.
Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds. They have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds.
Can lab-grown diamonds be certified?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds can be certified by independent gemological laboratories just like mined diamonds. Certifications verify the diamond's authenticity, quality, and characteristics.
Can lab-grown diamonds be customised?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds can be customised into various shapes and sizes, and they can be set in different metals and settings according to your preferences.
How do I care for lab-grown diamond jewellery?
Caring for lab-grown diamond jewellery is similar to caring for natural diamond jewellery. Clean them regularly with mild soap and warm water, and store them in a safe place when not in use to prevent scratching.
Lab-grown vs. mined diamonds
How are lab-grown diamonds different from mined diamonds?
The main difference is their origin: lab-grown diamonds are created in a laboratory, while mined diamonds are naturally occurring gems extracted from the earth through mining.
How do lab-grown diamonds compare in quality to mined diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are identical in quality to mined diamonds. They exhibit the same brilliance, fire, and durability, and they are graded using the same standards as natural diamonds.
Are lab-grown diamonds more affordable than mined diamonds?
Generally, yes. Lab-grown diamonds are often priced at a more competitive point compared to natural diamonds of similar quality, making them a cost-effective choice.
Ethics & sustainability
Are lab-grown diamonds ethical?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are considered ethical because they do not involve the environmental and social issues associated with diamond mining, such as land disruption, habitat destruction, and labor practices.
Are lab grown-diamonds better for the environment?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds have a lower environmental impact compared to mined diamonds. They require less energy and water to produce, and they do not contribute to deforestation or habitat loss.
Are lab-grown diamonds sustainable?
Lab-grown diamonds are widely considered a more sustainable alternative to mined diamonds. Traditional diamond mining often results in significant environmental damage, including deforestation, habitat destruction, and soil erosion.
In contrast, lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled laboratory environments, which significantly minimizes their ecological footprint. Many lab-grown diamond producers are also transitioning to renewable energy sources to further reduce their carbon emissions, making this option even more environmentally friendly.
In addition to their reduced environmental impact, lab-grown diamonds eliminate many of the ethical concerns associated with mining, such as labor exploitation and funding conflicts.
By choosing lab-grown diamonds, you’re not only selecting a stunning, high-quality gemstone but also making a conscious choice to support a more ethical and sustainable jewelry industry.
At Una Diamond, we’re proud to offer diamonds that align with these values, creating timeless pieces with care for both the planet and its people.
