LAB DIAMOND vs NATURAL DIAMOND :
You must know this clearly before making any diamond decision: a lab grown diamond and a natural diamond are both real diamonds.
This is one of the biggest areas of confusion, and it causes many people to doubt their choice long after the purchase.
A natural diamond is formed beneath the earth over billions of years under extreme heat and pressure.
A lab grown diamond is created in a controlled environment using the same carbon crystal structure. Chemically, physically, and optically, they are identical.
Both types of diamonds have the same hardness.
Both rank 10 on the Mohs scale.
Both can be cut, polished, set, and worn in exactly the same way.
Neither is weaker or less durable than the other.
Where people often go wrong is assuming that “lab grown” means artificial or fragile. That assumption is incorrect. The real difference lies in origin and pricing, not in performance or longevity.
