1. What is lab grown diamond jewellery?

Lab grown diamond jewellery features diamonds created in controlled laboratory environments using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond-growing process. These diamonds have the same chemical composition and crystal structure as mined diamonds and are used in rings, earrings, pendants, bracelets and other jewellery designs.

 2. Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds, not imitations. They have the same essential physical, chemical and optical properties as mined diamonds. They are different from diamond simulants such as cubic zirconia, which may look similar but have a different composition.

 3. What is the difference between lab grown and natural diamonds?

The main difference is their origin. Natural diamonds form beneath the Earth's surface over millions or billions of years, while lab grown diamonds are created in controlled laboratory conditions. Both are diamonds, but they can differ in price, origin and resale market value.

 4. Are lab grown diamonds certified?

Lab grown diamonds can be independently graded by gemological laboratories. A grading report may provide details such as carat weight, colour, clarity and cut. Certification availability can vary by diamond and product, so check the individual product listing or ask for the relevant certificate before purchasing.

5. Do lab grown diamonds lose their sparkle or change colour over time?

Lab grown diamonds do not fade or change colour under normal wear. However, everyday residue such as oils, soap and dust can make a diamond appear less brilliant. Regular cleaning and appropriate jewellery care help maintain its appearance.

6. Can lab grown diamonds be detected by a diamond tester?

Most standard diamond testers identify lab grown diamonds as diamonds because they share key properties with natural diamonds. Specialized testing equipment may be used by gemologists to distinguish their origin.

7. Is lab grown diamond jewellery suitable for everyday wear?

Lab grown diamonds are durable and suitable for regular wear when set securely. For everyday jewellery, consider the design, setting, metal, fit and how often the piece will be worn. Remove jewellery during activities that may expose it to impact, chemicals or unnecessary wear.

8. How should I care for lab grown diamond jewellery?

Clean your jewellery gently with lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft brush, then dry it with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. Store pieces separately to reduce scratching, and have the setting checked periodically to ensure the diamond remains secure.

9. What should I consider when buying lab grown diamond jewellery online?

Check the diamond's grading details, carat weight, cut, colour and clarity, along with the metal composition, product images, sizing information and certificate details where available. Review the seller's delivery, return, exchange and after-sales policies before placing your order.

10. Is lab grown diamond jewellery available in different designs?

Yes. Lab grown diamonds are used in a wide range of jewellery styles, including solitaire rings, everyday earrings, pendants, bracelets and occasion jewellery. Design availability depends on the collection, with options varying by diamond shape, setting, metal and overall style.
