Lab Grown Diamonds in Chino Hills

Are you in the market for a diamond engagement ring or other diamond jewelry? If so, you may have heard about lab-grown diamonds and the benefits they offer. But what exactly are lab-grown diamonds, and why should you choose them over traditional mined diamonds?
At Diamond & Design Jewelers in Chino Hills, we are proud to be lab-grown diamond specialists. In this article, we will explore the world of lab-grown diamonds and why they are the perfect choice for your next diamond purchase whether you are investing in loose diamonds or a classic choice like a diamond engagement ring or diamond studs. 

What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?

Definition and Compositions

Lab-grown diamonds, also known as lab-created diamonds, man-made diamonds and synthetic diamonds are created in a laboratory setting rather than being mined from the earth. They are not an alternative diamond nor a simulant like zirconium or moissanite.
Lab-created diamonds have the exact same properties as natural diamonds. They are the same as natural diamonds in hardness and bear the same physical, chemical and optical properties. The only difference between natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds is their method of formation: lab diamonds are grown in a controlled environment using advanced technology.
Lab-grown diamonds are made from a small diamond seed that is placed in a chamber and exposed to extreme heat and pressure. There are two processes: CVD (chemical vapor deposition) and HPHT (high pressure high temperature). Although slightly different, both processes mimic the natural formation of diamonds in the earth but in a much shorter time.
The diamond industry has fully accepted that natural diamonds and lab-created diamonds are equal and synthetic diamonds and are not marketed or sold as diamond alternatives.

Why Choose Lab-Grown Diamonds?

There are many reasons for consumers to choose lab-created diamonds over traditional mined diamonds. Here are just a few:

  • Eco-Friendly: Lab-grown diamonds are a more environmentally friendly option compared to mined diamonds. The mining process for natural diamonds can have a negative impact on the environment, including deforestation, soil erosion, and water pollution. Lab-grown diamonds have a much smaller carbon footprint and do not contribute to these environmental issues.
  • Ethical: Unethical diamond mining is linked to human rights abuses and exploitation of workers. Lab-grown diamonds are the more ethical choice. 
  • Affordable: By comparison, a natural diamond price tag is typically 30-50% more expensive than a lab-grown stone of equivalent size and quality,  This makes them a more affordable option for those on a budget.
  • Same Quality: Lab-grown diamonds have the same chemical and physical properties as natural diamonds, meaning they are just as durable and brilliant. Diamond standards and grades (diamond certification) are applied to la-created diamonds in the same way as for mined stones so you can be confident that you are getting a high-quality diamond at a lower price.

Buying a Diamond or A Piece of Diamond Jewelry

When buying diamonds, it is always best to seek expert advice. Though lab-created diamonds are increasingly the popular choice, a jewelry expert can answer your questions, explain the difference between earth diamonds and lab stones and put to rest any qualms you might have.
For loose diamonds, custom jewelry or ready-made pieces there are a few ways to approach choosing the perfect diamond.

Shop by Shape

Lab-created diamonds come in a variety of shapes, just like natural diamonds. Some of the most popular shapes include round, princess, cushion, and oval. At our Diamond & Design jewelry store, we offer a wide selection of gemstone shapes and sizes in a wide variety of styles across all types of diamond jewelry.

Shop by Diamond Color

Lab-grown diamonds are available in a range of colors, from colorless to fancy colors like pink and blue. The color of a diamond is determined by the presence of trace elements during the growth process. For example, nitrogen creates a yellow or brown color, while boron creates a blue color. At Diamond & Design Jewelers, we offer lab-grown diamonds in a variety of colors to suit your style.

Shop by GIA Or IGI

At Diamond & Design Jewelers, we offer lab-grown diamonds that are certified by either the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the International Gemological Institute (IGI). These certifications ensure that your diamond has been graded and evaluated by a reputable third-party organization, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your purchase.
