Are lab grown diamonds real?
Yes – absolutely. Lab grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds, with the same chemical and physical properties as mined diamonds. They are composed of carbon crystals formed under controlled conditions of high pressure and heat, resulting in stones that are indistinguishable from natural diamonds. These gems have the same brilliance, fire and clarity as any high-quality diamond. In other words, when you buy a lab grown diamond, you’re still getting an authentic diamond that will look, wear and last just like a mined diamond.
For example, RockHer’s collection of lab-grown diamond studs and rings showcases this reality. Each lab grown stone we offer meets strict standards of cut and color, ensuring your jewelry sparkles just as brilliantly as it would with a mined diamond. Trust in the fact that modern technology can create diamonds so perfect that even gemologists must use special instruments to tell the difference.
Do lab grown diamonds have resale value?
Lab grown diamonds do hold value, though as with any fine jewelry, resale depends on market conditions and demand. It’s true that lab grown diamonds are more affordable than mined diamonds, meaning they offer exceptional value up front. If you ever decide to sell or trade a lab grown diamond, factors like quality, carat size and cut grade will affect the resale price – just as they do for natural diamonds.
Many customers appreciate that the money saved on purchasing a lab grown diamond can be invested elsewhere or enjoyed in other ways. Ultimately, a lab grown diamond from RockHer is a lasting symbol of love and beauty. Whether set in a solitaire engagement ring or a halo design, your diamond will retain its beauty for generations to come.
Are all lab grown diamonds the same?
No – lab grown diamonds come in a wide range of qualities and styles, just like natural diamonds. Each stone can vary in carat weight, cut, color and clarity. Some lab grown diamonds are completely colorless and flawless, while others may have tiny inclusions or faint color. You’ll find lab grown diamonds in every shape and size, from delicate accent stones to multi-carat statements. For example, our 1-carat lab-grown diamond rings demonstrate how these gems come in many shapes and designs.
