Learn About Lab Grown Diamonds

Discover what lab grown diamonds are, how they compare to natural diamonds, and why they are the ethical choice for engagement rings. Explore ORBION lab diamond jewelry.

Lab grown diamonds are redefining modern fine jewelry. They offer the same beauty, brilliance, and durability as natural diamonds, with the added benefits of ethical sourcing, sustainability, and exceptional value.

At ORBION, we specialize in lab grown diamond jewelry crafted with precision, transparency, and performance focused cutting.

What Is a Lab Grown Diamond?

A lab grown diamond is a real diamond created in a controlled laboratory environment using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond growing process.

Lab diamonds are:
  • Chemically identical to mined diamonds
  • Physically identical to mined diamonds
  • Optically identical to mined diamonds

The only difference is origin. One is formed underground over billions of years, while the other is grown above ground over weeks.

Are Lab Grown Diamonds Real Diamonds?

Yes, lab grown diamonds are 100 percent real diamonds.

They are not:
  • Cubic zirconia
  • Moissanite
  • Glass or imitation stones

Lab diamonds are composed of pure carbon, just like natural diamonds, and are graded by the same global standards.

Many are certified by respected institutions such as:

  • IGI (International Gemological Institute)
  • GIA (Gemological Institute of America)

How Are Lab Diamonds Made?

Lab grown diamonds are created using two primary methods:

1. HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature)
This method mimics the intense conditions under the Earth where diamonds naturally form.
2. CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition)
This method grows diamonds layer by layer using carbon rich gas and advanced plasma technology.

Both methods produce genuine diamonds suitable for fine jewelry.

Lab Diamond vs Natural Diamond

Lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds are visually and structurally the same, but lab diamonds offer a more modern and responsible alternative.

Composition Pure carbon diamond Pure carbon diamond
Appearance Identical brilliance Identical brilliance
Origin Grown in a lab Mined from Earth
Ethical Impact Conflict free by default Depends on sourcing

Lab Grown Diamond FAQs

What Is the Difference Between Lab Diamonds VS Natural Diamonds?
Lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds are identical in every physical and visual way. Both are real diamonds made of pure carbon, with the same brilliance, hardness, and sparkle. The only difference is how they are formed:
  • Natural diamonds are created underground over billions of years through extreme heat and pressure
  • Lab grown diamonds are created in a laboratory over several weeks using advanced technology that replicates the same natural process
Lab diamonds offer the same beauty and durability as natural diamonds, while providing a more ethical, sustainable, and accessible alternative.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds Fake?
No. Lab grown diamonds are not fake. They are real diamonds made of pure carbon, with the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. The only difference is that they are created in a laboratory instead of underground.
Do Lab Diamonds Test Positive on a Diamond Tester?
Yes. Lab grown diamonds test the same as natural diamonds on standard diamond testers because they have the same conductivity and structure.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds Cheaper Than Natural Diamonds?
Yes. Lab grown diamonds are generally more affordable than mined diamonds of the same size and quality. This allows customers to choose larger stones or higher grades without compromising on brilliance.
Do Lab Diamonds Sparkle the Same as Natural Diamonds?
Yes. Lab grown diamonds sparkle exactly like natural diamonds because they share the same refractive index, brilliance, and fire. Any sparkle difference comes only from the quality of cut, not whether the diamond is lab grown or mined.
Do Lab Grown Diamonds Get Cloudy Over Time?
No. Lab grown diamonds do not get cloudy with age. They retain their brilliance permanently, just like natural diamonds. Regular cleaning helps remove surface residue from daily wear.
Can Jewelers Tell the Difference Between Lab and Natural Diamonds?
Not by eye. Lab grown diamonds look identical to natural diamonds. Even professional jewelers need specialized laboratory equipment to determine origin.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds Certified?
Yes. Most high quality lab diamonds are certified by respected gemological institutes such as IGI or GIA. Certification confirms the diamond’s cut, color, clarity, and carat weight.
Are Lab Diamonds Conflict Free?
Yes. Lab grown diamonds are conflict free by default because they are created in controlled environments rather than sourced through mining regions.
Are Lab Diamonds Sustainable?
Lab diamonds are considered a more environmentally responsible alternative to mined diamonds because they reduce the need for large scale mining and land disruption. Many customers choose lab diamonds for this reason.
Do Lab Diamonds Last Forever?
Yes. Lab grown diamonds are just as durable as natural diamonds. They rank 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them the hardest gemstone and perfect for everyday wear.
Can Lab Diamonds Be Insured?
Yes. Lab grown diamonds can be insured just like natural diamonds. Insurance providers typically use certification and purchase value for coverage.
Do Lab Diamonds Have Resale Value?
Lab diamonds are valued primarily for personal wear, craftsmanship, and meaning rather than resale. Like most jewelry, their true value lies in lifelong significance rather than investment return.
Are Lab Diamonds Better Than Natural Diamonds?
Neither is objectively better. Natural diamonds carry geological rarity, while lab diamonds offer ethical sourcing, sustainability, and better value. The best choice depends on your personal priorities.
