What are Lab-Grown Diamonds?

They can be referred to by many names, such as “lab-grown”, “lab-created,” “manmade,” “lab, “artificial,” “synthetic,” and “cultivated.” You will typically see non-lab diamonds referred to as “mined” or “natural” diamonds.

It’s important to note that the phrase “diamond simulant” does not refer to lab-created diamonds or a stone with the same chemical composition as a diamond. If you’re not familiar with the source you’re purchasing from, don’t be afraid to ask for clarification if you have any suspicions about what they are advertising.
