For engagement rings, lab grown diamonds are growing in popularity as a more attractive choice than earth-mined diamonds. They are physically identical. They are actual, real diamonds. Unlike diamond replacements such as moissanite or cubic zirconia, a lab grown diamond is indistinguishable from an earth-mined diamond without very specialized equipment that reveals how it was formed.
What are some of the benefits of lab grown diamonds? Let’s look at some of the socially important benefits first.
A lab grown diamond is sourced responsibly. Unlike earth-mined diamonds, which have a dramatic environmental impact, lab grown diamonds are produced with machinery, allowing for carbon offsets and conservation-minded production.
A lab grown diamond is sourced ethically. By definition, a lab grown diamond is not mined or traded in in conflict and cannot be coopted to fund violence. When you put a lab grown diamond on your engagement ring, you know you’re not wearing a “blood diamond.”
A lab grown diamond’s source can be tracked. This means you can buy an engagement ring with a gem formed by a company that treats its workers and its communities well.
What other benefits are there? Here are some practical benefits to a lab grown diamond in your engagement ring.
A Lab Grown Diamond Gives You More Bang for Your Buck. If you have an amount to spend in mind, you’ll get a much bigger and better diamond if you go with a lab grown diamond for the same money.
A Lab Grown Diamond Leaves More Bucks in Your Bank Account. Just because you have a certain amount in mind for your engagement ring doesn’t mean you have to spend it all. A lab grown diamond will save you a great deal of money.
A Lab Grown Diamond Can Be Certified. Lab grown diamonds are graded just like earth-mined diamonds with the Four C’s and often have far fewer defects.
