When you think of a diamond, you might picture a stone shaped deep within the earth over millions of years. But today, more couples are discovering another option.
Lab-grown diamonds are changing the way we think about what makes a diamond special, and we believe that they are here to stay!
So what makes a lab-grown diamond worth considering for your engagement ring or fine jewellery piece?
What is a Lab-Grown Diamond?
A lab-grown diamond starts its life much like a natural one does - with carbon and intense heat and pressure. The difference is that instead of taking millions of years underground, this process happens in a laboratory where temperature and conditions are carefully controlled.
Layer by layer, carbon forms around a tiny diamond seed, growing into a rough stone that is then cut and polished by skilled hands. The result is a real diamond in every sense. It has the same sparkle, the same fire, and the same brilliance you’d expect from a natural diamond.
How Are They Certified?
Lab-grown diamonds are still graded for their cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight, but it’s helpful to know that some labs have changed the way they report this information moving forward.
For example, the GIA, one of the world’s most trusted gem grading authorities, now provides different reports for lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds. This is simply to show that although they are chemically the same, their origins are different.
When you choose a lab-grown diamond from Beaudell, you receive a full certificate with clear details about your diamond’s quality, so you can buy with complete confidence.
Why Many Couples Love Them
Many couples love that lab-grown diamonds allow for a bigger or better-quality stone for less. For some, there’s also peace of mind in knowing exactly where their diamond came from.
It’s a modern way to choose something timeless, and for many people, it just feels right.
