✓ Lab diamonds are 100% real real diamonds!
✓ crystallized carbon
-> Pure Carbon of which both lab diamonds and mine diamonds are made of
✓ Lab diamonds are chemically, physically and optically identical to mine diamonds
(this is also stated on the Lab Grown Diamond certificates).
✓ official certificates from independent certification companies (gemmological laboratories) such as IGI, GCAL, GIA, etc.
Yes! Lab-produced diamonds are real diamonds, identical in every way (except price!) to diamonds mined from mines. The labs crystallize carbon into stunning rough diamonds, which are then cut, polished and graded just like diamonds mined from the earth. Those produced in the laboratory have identical chemical, physical and optical properties. They have the same refractive index, dispersion and hardness and are graded by leading independent gemological institutes to the same standards as mine diamonds.
✓ Diamond = diamond (regardless of origin)
Important July 2018 U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Legislative Change:
“Lab grow diamonds” = diamonds, so do “(natural) mine diamonds”. The FTC says: A diamond is a diamond regardless of its origin . “a diamond is a diamond” no matter of it’s origin.
… “removed a section on misleading illustrations, and eliminated the word “natural” from the definition of diamond in section 23.12(a)”….
