WHY LAB GROWN DIAMONDS banner
“[They] are real diamonds. They have the same optical, chemical, thermal, and physical features.”
Matthew Hall, Director, Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
It goes without saying that all man made lab-grown diamonds are ethical in nature because of their clean origin. They also have higher purity and greater brilliance compared to mined diamonds. Most importantly, lab grown diamonds cost significantly less. For all these reasons, these cutting edge stones are available for all of our rings.
“[Lab created diamonds] are not fakes. They're not cubic zirconia. They have all the same physical and chemical properties of a mined diamond.”
Stephen Morisseau, a spokesman for the Gemmological Institute of America (GIA).
"Mined diamonds are a gift of nature whereas man-made diamonds are a gift of human wisdom.”
Shanghai Diamond Exchange’s President Qiang Lin.
“[Manmade] diamonds are diamonds.”
Federal Trade Commission (USA), August 2018.

Best Value For Money

In the past two decades, technological progress and innovation have led to lab grown diamonds surpassing mined diamonds and becoming the best choice for customers.

Diamonds grown in labs are also considerably more affordable than mined diamonds, often 75% cheaper, due to intense but healthy competition among manufacturers.

It is important to note, however, that lab grown diamonds Hong Kong still represent 100% real diamonds and are not "cheap". In fact, despite the shorter supply chain, and a more competitive market, the cost of production between mined diamonds and lab grown diamonds is roughly the same. Whether mined or lab grown, all rough diamonds undergo the same sequence of steps to make them market-ready. Cutting, polishing, and certification are identical for mined or lab grown materials and, therefore, cost the same.

Because of artificial supply restrictions of mined diamonds, they are prohibitively expensive. This is done by greedy players to extract as much money as possible. Conversely, the lab grown diamond industry is fiercely competitive, which ultimately benefits consumers since they can now afford the brilliant diamond ring that will remain with them forever.

Ethical And Eco-Friendly Diamonds

Lab grown diamonds HK are the only option if you want to make a difference while purchasing an ethical engagement ring. For a diamond to be truly ethical, it has to be mine free, and the only mine free diamonds are the ones grown in labs. This is by far the most compelling reason for us to commit fully to lab grown diamonds, as we know how extensive the social and environmental effects mines have on our planet as well as communities and society. Putting the destruction into perspective, it takes over ten square meters of land to unearth a single carat of diamond, generating 3,000 kg of rocks and soil waste.

Due to the fact that all of our diamonds are lab grown diamonds, we naturally only produce ethical engagement rings. Lab grown diamonds by Novita Diamonds are guaranteed to be 100% conflict-free, providing you with peace of mind as we are committed to being environmentally and socially friendly in all our offerings. Case in point, Frost & Sullivan notes in their report that "lab grown diamonds emit significantly less air pollution and are seven times more sustainable than mined diamonds."

Eco-Friendly And Conflict Free Ethical Diamonds

Quality And Beauty

There are no differences in the physical, chemical, and optical properties of man made diamonds from those produced in laboratories.

In essence, lab grown diamonds are different from natural diamonds only because of their origin. To grow a lab grown diamond, innovative, cutting-edge technology mimics the formation process of diamonds in the earth's crust by crystallizing carbon.

It is impossible for expert jewellers, even when using jewellery 10x Loupes, to distinguish lab-grown diamonds from natural diamonds. Natural diamonds and lab grown diamonds cannot be distinguished when compared side by side.

Natural diamonds can only be differentiated from lab grown diamonds if the level of impurities in natural diamonds is quantified using heavy-duty equipment designed to measure the level of impurities in natural diamonds.

The cleanest and the purest form of diamonds are Type IIA and Type II, which are extremely rare in nature. They are stronger and clearer than 98% of mined diamonds since they are 100% pure carbon and do not have any impurities like nitrogen. Novita Diamonds is proud to offer only Type IIA and Type II diamonds exclusively.

Beauty And Quality

Please Be Aware Of
Diamond Simulants

There is no better heirloom than a diamond, which can be passed on from one generation to the next as they will always maintain their beauty. Diamonds are one of the strongest materials known to science, regardless if they are from a lab or a mine, making them the ideal choice for engagement rings and precious jewellery. However, the same cannot be said for diamond simulants such as cubic zirconia and moissanite. Additionally, imitations lose their shine quickly and are tiring to wear due to their weight and proneness to scratching and chipping.

FAQ'S

• Are lab grown diamonds real?

Diamonds grown in laboratories are real diamonds, no doubt about it. They are created using the same chemical and physical processes that happen naturally inside the earth but are grown in a controlled laboratory environment where a starter seed of diamond crystal gradually becomes bigger as more and more carbon atoms are deposited on it. Chemically, physically, and optically, lab grown diamonds are exactly the same as natural diamonds; therefore, they are considered real diamonds. According to IGI and GIA, the two leading authorities on diamonds, coloured stones, and pearls, lab grown diamonds are graded according to the same scale and methodology as mined diamonds. If you would like more information, please visit our about lab diamonds page.

• How much cheaper are lab diamonds?

It is always significantly less expensive to grow diamonds in laboratories than to mine diamonds from the earth. The exact price difference will depend on various factors such as the size, quality, and specific type of diamond, but on average, lab grown diamonds are around 75% cheaper than natural diamonds. Due to the lower cost of making rough lab grown diamonds, they are much more economical than mining and extracting rough natural diamonds from the earth. Rough diamonds, however, must undergo all the same processes to become retail-ready, including cutting, polishing, and certification, regardless of whether they come from a mine or a lab.

For instance, a mined diamond costs $10,000, while a lab diamond costs $2,500, netting you a massive saving of $7,500.

• Do lab diamonds test as diamonds?

It does not matter whether diamonds are lab grown or mined; testing is the same for both mined and lab grown diamonds. Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds, so they will exhibit the same properties and characteristics when tested. Hardness, refractive index, thermal conductivity, and other characteristics are among those that make diamonds special, regardless of whether they were mined or man-made.

• Do lab grown diamonds have inclusions?

As with natural diamonds, most lab grown diamonds also contain inclusions. Inclusions are natural imperfections that are found within diamonds, and they can occur in both natural and lab grown diamonds. Inclusions can take many forms, such as tiny bubbles or carbon deposits trapped inside the diamond as it formed. As with natural diamonds, most lab created diamonds have flaws, and only a very small percentage can be flawless. For more information about diamond clarity, check out our 4Cs guide.

• Can I insure lab grown diamond rings?

Laboratory grown diamonds can be insured in the same way as mined diamonds; they are treated as mined diamonds, so they can be insured the same way as mined diamonds. You can purchase your lab grown diamond ring insurance through your specialized jewellery insurance policy. Your insurance policy will typically cover the cost of replacing or repairing your lab grown diamond ring if it is lost, stolen, or damaged. Make sure you read the terms of your insurance policy carefully to understand what it covers and what it doesn't.
