Lab Grown Diamonds Perth

Lab grown diamonds are one of the fastest growing segments of the international jewellery industry. New advances in technology and advanced laboratory technology means that lab diamonds offer a stunning, man-made alternative to natural diamonds.

Lab diamonds offer the same appearance, feel, and characteristics as a natural diamond. But now, thanks to technology, we are able to produce them in a fraction of the time and at a lower cost which is passed onto you. In general, lab grown diamonds cost 20-30% less than their natural counterparts and offer the same physical characteristics.

Man-made diamonds are chemically, physically, and visually identical to natural, mined diamonds. Because they are made from the same chemical processes, man created diamonds offer the same lustre and sparkle as traditional diamonds and provide the same exciting ownership experience.

Perth Lab Grown Diamond FAQs

Are lab grown diamonds considered ‘real diamonds’?

Yes, unlike Cubic Zirconia, Moissanite, and other cheap diamond alternatives, lab grown diamonds are real, man-made diamonds that carry real value and prestige. Materials like Cubic Zirconia and Moissanite are easy to spot – even if you’re not a trained jeweller. On the other hand, it would take a trained jeweller using specialist equipment to be able to tell you the difference between a lab diamond and a natural, mined diamond.

Do the 4cs apply to lab grown diamonds?

Yes, lab diamonds follow the same principles of clarity, colour, cut, and carat when it comes to determining value. Our lab diamonds are individually graded and priced according to their colour, clarity, carat, and cut.

How do I tell the difference between lab and man-made diamonds?

In order to tell the difference between lab diamonds and man-made diamonds, you will need specialised equipment to measure fluorescence – a flaw that is found only in natural diamonds. This is not something that you (or anyone) will be able to pick up on without specialist equipment and training.

How are lab grown diamonds made?

Lab grown diamonds are created in a laboratory environment that replicates the natural process that forms diamonds underground. Scientists start the process with a small piece of diamond (known as a ‘seed’) and then subject it to extreme heat and pressure in a special chamber. The pressure and heat then cause the atoms to rearrange themselves and create a crystal structure.

From start to finish, the process for creating a lab grown diamonds can take several weeks. Once the process is complete, the diamond is then cut and polished – just like any other
diamond. The end result is a diamond that is indistinguishable from a regular mined diamond.

Lab grown vs. natural – which should I choose?

Choosing between a natural and lab grown diamond is a relatively new decision for customers. Recent developments in lab diamond technology means that the quality and finish of lab grown diamonds is now forcing consumers to think long and hard about whether they want a natural or lab grown diamond. Just like choosing your wedding ring style, colour, and setting, choosing between lab and man-made will come down to your personal preference.

Lab grown diamonds offer the same ownership experience as natural diamonds with a 20-30% lower price point, so it is certainly worth considering before you make your decision.
