Lab Grown Diamonds vs Mined Diamonds
Lab Grown Diamonds
Engineered in controlled facilities that duplicate the natural process that creates mined diamonds, lab grown ethical fine jewelry using lab grown diamonds have the exact same chemical and physical make-up as mined stones.
To the naked eye, there is no difference between mined diamonds and lab grown diamonds. Unlike simulated stones like cubic zirconia or moissanite that mimic the look of real diamonds, lab grown diamonds share the same chemical properties as mined diamonds.
Our lab grown ethically made jewelry represents the spectacular progression of technology. It allows us to offer you the opportunity to choose a diamond that is affordable, high quality, and one you can trust.
Mined Diamonds
Mined diamonds are diamonds that have formed through natural occurrences and are extracted from the Earth. Made of carbon that has crystalized, diamonds are formed under great pressure and temperature and are pushed to the earth's surface following a volcanic eruption. Extracting mined stones is a costly and often dangerous process.
Mined diamonds are readily available in an array of designs, shapes, and styles. Our mined ethical fine jewelry is attractive to buyers as the diamonds are formed from Earth’s crust with exquisite quality.
Price Difference
Revolutionary in every way, lab grown diamonds are cultivated in a controlled space and cost 35-50% less than mined diamonds of the same carat size, cut and quality.
When it comes to cutting and polishing, mined diamonds and lab grown diamonds have the same costs. The main difference in price comes from the heavy cost of mining and multiple middlemen throughout the process leading up to that final point.
Technology has made it so that lab grown diamonds can be cultivated both efficiently and effectively. The price to cultivate diamonds is a fraction of the cost that's required to mine diamonds, which means consumers aren't forced to carry the cost of souring and extracting diamonds from the Earth.
The cost to explore for diamonds and extract the stones is tremendous, and the price is passed along to the jeweler, which then determines how much you, the consumer, will pay.
