FAQs on Lab Grown Diamonds
What are lab grown diamonds?
A lab grown diamond is a diamond that is produced in a controlled laboratory environment and advanced technological processes that replicate the natural conditions under which diamonds form in the Earth's mantle. Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds. They have reduced environmental and ethical concerns associated with diamond mining.
Are lab grown diamonds real?
Yes, lab grown diamonds are real diamonds. Any diamond is classified as diamond based on its chemical composition and crystalline structure. Lab grown diamonds have the same chemical composition, physical properties, and crystal structure as natural diamonds. Hence, they are real diamonds.
Can you tell the difference between lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds?
Lab grown diamonds appear identical to natural diamonds and can’t be distinguished by the naked eye and with standard microscopic tools. Trained jewellers and experts can’t also tell the difference between them. They can only be distinguished from natural diamonds using specialized equipment that can detect the specific growth patterns and inclusions characteristic of their synthetic origin
Why should I buy lab grown diamonds instead of natural diamonds?
Buying lab grown diamonds offers several benefits: they are typically 30-40% less expensive than natural diamonds, free from ethical concerns around deep mining and blood diamonds, and have a smaller environmental footprint. Additionally, lab grown diamonds have the same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds, making them a modern and sustainable choice. Just like jewellers offer buyback on natural diamonds, ZINARA offers lifetime buyback at 80% on lab grown diamonds.
Are lab grown diamonds graded and certified?
Yes, lab grown diamonds are graded and certified by the same gemological laboratories that evaluate natural diamonds. Renowned organizations like GIA, IGI, and SGL provide these certifications. The grading process for lab grown diamonds is identical to that for natural diamonds, ensuring transparency and quality assurance. All lab grown diamonds used in jewellery offered by ZINARA are graded and certified by these laboratory organizations.
Are lab grown diamonds same as moissanite or cubic zirconia?
No, lab grown diamonds are not the same as moissanite or cubic zirconia. Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds with identical properties to natural diamonds. Moissanite is silicon carbide, known for its high brilliance, while cubic zirconia is zirconium dioxide, a less durable and less valuable diamond simulant.
Do lab grown diamonds have colour and clarity categorisation?
Lab grown diamonds are similarly distinguished by the 4Cs—Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat -- same as natural diamonds.
