Lab Grown Diamonds You Can Trust in the Cornelius, NC Area



Lab Created Engagement Rings

Lab grown diamond engagement rings are surging in popularity as a beautiful, affordable, and more sustainable approach to mined diamonds. When you choose to purchase a created diamond for your partner, you have just as many options for ring settings and diamonds but all at a better price. Diamond engagement rings are still a precious tradition that says "yes, forever," but with created diamonds there's no need to sacrifice quality for the sake of a budget. Whether it's a large, flawless solitaire or an intricate double halo, you can give your partner the engagement ring of their dreams without any sacrifice.

Will Anyone Notice the Difference?

One of the biggest worries for those new to the idea of man-made diamonds is whether or not they'll look real. In reality, it's impossible to tell with the naked eye whether or not a diamond is created or naturally formed. Created diamonds and natural diamonds are optically and chemically indistinguishable, but with years of work, scientists have been able to make lab diamonds consistently higher quality in both color and clarity. Unless you tell all your friends, no one will be able to tell whether your partner spent ten thousand dollars on your jewelry or half that much!

What's in a Name?

Regardless of whether you use the term lab-grown diamond, engineered diamond, cultured diamond, man-made diamond, or lab-created diamond, these created diamonds are still optically and chemically identical to natural diamonds. The terms synthetic and artificial are misnomers, because lab diamonds are not fake in terms of structure or composition. Man-made stones are just as durable as natural ones and contain the same elements. Created diamonds are equal if not superior to natural stones; growing in a lab gives scientists and gemologists time to perfect their process to exclude flaws and increase clarity. The next time someone says “artificial diamond” you can be confident in knowing there is no such thing.

A Rainbow of Colors

Not only are created diamonds available in brilliant crystal clear, they're also much easier to find in a variety of colors, ranging from a soft powder blue to a millennial pink and even shades of bright yellow. Colored diamonds are much rarer in nature, making them difficult to come by and therefore far more expensive. In the past, sapphires frequently substituted for the elusive and pricey pink and yellow diamonds, but now there's no need to choose between the color you desire and the durability of your jewelry. Lab grown diamonds in yellows, pinks, blues, and even occasionally oranges can light up your jewelry collection like never before.
