The popularity of Lab Grown Diamonds has grown in recent years and make for a budget friendly alternative when shopping for a diamond engagement ring.

A Lab Grown Diamond has the exact same chemical makeup as a Natural Diamond. Natural Diamonds are created under high pressures and temperatures under the earth’s crust over millions of years. A Lab Grown Diamond is created through the same process, in a lab hence speeding up the process from millions of years to roughly 2 months.

Lab Grown Diamonds are as real as Natural Diamonds, having the same chemical and physical properties and graded the same.

 Some regard them as more ethical than natural diamonds as there is no mining involved.

There is no right or wrong when choosing between a Natural Diamond or a Lab Grown Diamond. Your budget, your partner’s preference and resale value are all worth considering when making the choice.
