What is the difference between natural and lab-grown diamonds?

The only difference between natural and lab-grown diamonds is the cost per carat!

A laboratory diamond is the same carbon with a crystal lattice as a regular natural diamond.

They have the same chemical, physical and optical properties, so natural and laboratory-grown stones cannot be distinguished either by eye or by optical instruments.

This can only be done with professional spectral analysis equipment.




How are diamonds grown?

There are two main growing technologies:

First is HPHT

(high pressure, high temperature).

Second - CVD

(this is vapor deposition).




There is no difference with natural diamonds of identical characteristics, except in terms of cost per carat.



Do lab-grown diamonds have certificates?

Always ask for a certificate when buying a lab-grown diamond.

Pricing for a stone depends on the general parameters, just like for natural diamonds, but the creation method will be indicated on the certificate - lab-grown.

Lab-grown diamonds are certified by international gemological laboratories — GIA, HRD, IGI, Moscow State University, MGL, etc.




How much does a lab-grown diamond cost?

If we compare prices for grown and natural stones, then it's easier to say "from 30%" - The lower the carat of an already cut diamond, the smaller the difference in price.



Suzanne Сode loves technology, because we believe that the future belongs to lab-grown diamonds.

Nevertheless, we work with natural diamonds and precious stones with great love.

The collection includes jewelry with emeralds, sapphires, rubies and Paraiba tourmalines.
