Why Lab-Grown Diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds created using cutting-edge technology that replicates the natural diamond formation process. They offer the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds — at a much more competitive price.

Key Factors to Consider Before Buying

1. Shape

Choose a shape based on your design or customer preference:

Round Brilliant – Most popular for engagement rings.

Princess, Emerald, Cushion – Great for bold, elegant looks.

Oval, Pear, Marquise, Heart – Perfect for standout pieces.

Tip: Round shapes typically cost slightly more due to higher demand and greater wastage in cutting.

2. Carat Weight

Lab-grown diamonds are available from small melee to 10+ carats.
Higher carat = higher price, but lab diamonds offer better value per carat than natural stones.

3. Color Grade

D, E, F (Colorless) – Ideal for premium clients or bridal jewelry.

G, H (Near Colorless) – Best for value-focused purchases.

Fancy colors (pink, blue, yellow) – Available upon request.

4. Clarity Grade

VVS1–VS2 – Recommended for wholesale buyers seeking high-quality stones.

SI1–SI2 – Good for budget-conscious customers or high-volume designs.

Tip: For small diamonds under 0.75 ct, minor inclusions are less noticeable.

5. Certification

All our lab-grown diamonds above 0.75 ct are certified by IGI or GIA.
Smaller sizes can be certified upon request.
