Lab-grown diamonds are genuine diamonds with the same optical, chemical, thermal, and physical properties as mined diamonds.
Matthew Hall, the director at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), confirms this.
ANNA DIAMOND specializes in materials chosen with enthusiasm:
We select unique baroque pearls, not just perfectly round ones.
We opt for refined metals sourced from urban mines rather than pristine metals.
We choose lab-grown diamonds over natural diamonds.
What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are diamonds artificially cultivated in a laboratory setting. They are known by various names such as synthetic diamonds or simply as "LGD". Lab-grown and natural diamonds are analytically, taxonomically, and scientifically equivalent, with the only difference being their method of production. These diamonds, representing a new era, are gaining acceptance worldwide, recognized by experts for their authenticity:
"Diamonds are diamonds."
by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
"Where mined diamonds are gifts of nature, synthetic diamonds are gifts of human ingenuity."
by Qiang Lin, Director of the Shanghai Diamond Exchange
"They are real diamonds. They have the same optical, chemical, thermal, and physical features."
by Matthew Hall, Director at GIA
The Appeal of Lab-Grown Diamonds:
01. Environmentally Friendly:
Unlike natural diamonds that require extensive mining, potentially harming vast land areas and ecosystems, lab-grown diamonds are created in labs using minimal land and water, producing less waste.
02. Superior Brilliance
Diamonds are categorized as TYPE1, which contain nitrogen, and TYPE2, which are almost nitrogen-free and thus are clearer and of higher quality. Natural diamonds, often TYPE1 due to impurities, take millions of years to form deep within the Earth. In contrast, lab-grown diamonds are predominantly TYPE2, offering an impressive clarity that brings joy to the beholder.
Lab-Grown Diamonds are Authentic
Although mass-produced in labs, creating high-quality lab-grown diamonds is not simple. Each diamond requires high-precision conditions, and not every batch results in jewelry-grade diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds are graded on the same criteria as natural diamonds—the 4Cs (Carat, Cut, Color, Clarity).
ANNA DIAMOND remains committed to creating ethically beautiful jewelry with materials like lab-grown diamonds, striving to shape a more beautiful future.
