Lab Vs Natural
CHAPTER 01

The Chemical Truth

Lab-grown diamonds are 100% carbon, just like natural diamonds. They possess the same crystal structure, hardness, and refractive index. Even a professional jeweler cannot tell the difference with just a magnifying loupe because, at the atomic level, they are identical gems.

CHAPTER 02

Origins: Billion Years vs. Weeks

Natural diamonds were forged billions of years ago in the earth's mantle under extreme heat and pressure. Lab diamonds are grown in weeks using advanced CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) or HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) methods that mimic the earth's environment. One is a miracle of geological time, the other is a miracle of human innovation.

CHAPTER 03

Value and Resale Dynamics

Natural diamonds are a finite resource, which usually allows them to hold a higher percentage of their value over decades. Lab diamonds, however, provide unprecedented access to luxury—allowing you to purchase a significantly larger, higher-quality stone for the same budget, often at a 70-80% lower entry price.

CHAPTER 04

The Sourcing Impact

Lab diamonds avoid the environmental footprint of traditional excavation. Meanwhile, our natural diamonds are sourced through our 'Beyond Conflict Freeâ„¢' initiative, which supports infrastructure, education, and biodiversity in regions like Botswana and the Northwest Territories of Canada.

CHAPTER 05

The Mohs Standard

Both stones are a 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness. This means they are both the most durable material known to man, perfect for daily wear in an engagement ring that will last for generations without dulling or scratching.
