Lab-grown diamonds provide the same brilliance and durability as natural diamonds. They are ethically produced, IGI-certified, and offer exceptional value, making them an excellent choice for engagement rings. Chemically, lab-grown diamonds are identical to their natural counterparts, but they can be up to 400% more affordable. We can supply any shape, size, and quality you desire.

Lab-grown diamonds offer the same exceptional brilliance, durability, and prestige as their natural counterparts — at a fraction of the cost. Scientifically identical in chemical, physical, and optical composition, these diamonds are grown in advanced laboratories rather than formed underground, resulting in a diamond that is both ethical and sustainable.

LG diamonds are rated 10 on the Mohs hardness scale — identical to natural diamonds, ensuring superior durability and resistance to scratching or dulling over time. They are not to be confused with simulants like cubic zirconia or Moissanite, which lack the lasting brilliance and hardness of true diamonds.
As we often say, lab diamonds are like ice from a freezer, while natural diamonds are like ice from a glacier — visually identical, with the same structure and purity, only differentiated by origin.
Every lab-grown diamond we stock can be set into your preferred ring design, whether for engagement, wedding, or everyday wear. Explore our full range online or in-store, and let our diamantaires guide you in creating your perfect piece.
