What's the Differences Between Lab Grown & Mined Stones

  • LAB GROWN STONES

    • Where art meets science to create a diamond or gemstone in a laboratory, chemically & optically identical to their natural counterparts
    • Same quality, look, feel and sparkle as mined stones
    • Can only be told apart using specialist equipment
    • Considered a more conscious choice because they are environmentally sustainable and socially ethical - no mining is required
    • A faster, more efficient process leading to a more attainable price
    • 6-10 weeks to create

  • MINED STONES

    • A rare, natural stone created by our earth
    • Considered higher in value because they are a finite natural resource
    • Require production transparency to ensure they are conflict-free and consciously-mined
    • Have a higher price because they are hard to find, and their production involves mining and transportation
    • 1-3 billion years to create.

How are Lab Grown Diamonds Made?

Using an innovative fusion of art and technology, lab grown diamonds are quite literally 'grown' in a laboratory by scientists.

The process starts with a tiny shard of a mined diamond, a 'diamond seed', and uses state-of-the-art technology to replicate the natural conditions under which diamonds are formed underground in the earth's mantle. By applying extreme pressure and heat, imitating the volcanic process, the lab grown diamonds are made of carbon atoms in a lattice crystal structure - exactly the same as mined diamonds.

Luckily, lab grown diamonds grow much faster than mined diamonds, and rather than millions of years, it takes just a number of weeks for the carbon atoms to slowly crystalise on the surface of the diamond seed, evolving into a rough diamond.

Once ready, the diamond is handpicked and tested by a gemmologist, to be cut, polished and crafted into something beautiful.
