Lab Grown Diamond Jewelry

8 piecesView All

A lab grown diamond has the same carbon crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a mined diamond — the difference is entirely in how it is formed. Instead of forming underground over millions of years, it is grown in a controlled lab environment using high pressure and temperature or chemical vapour deposition, which removes the environmental disruption of mining while producing a chemically identical stone. That makes it possible to offer the same fire, sparkle and durability at a more accessible price, across our full range of rings, earrings, necklaces and tennis bracelets. Every piece here is handcrafted to order rather than kept in bulk stock, so you choose the metal — 10K, 14K or 18K gold, or platinum — along with the cut, carat weight and setting that suits you. Lab grown diamonds work equally well for an engagement ring, a pair of everyday studs, or a statement tennis bracelet for a special occasion, and because each piece is made to order, sizing is done to fit you specifically rather than adjusted after the fact. If you have a design in mind that is not shown in the collection below — a particular halo setting, an heirloom-inspired piece, or a design combining lab grown diamond with moissanite accents — our custom design service can take a sketch or reference photo and turn it into CAD renders for your approval before we begin production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are lab grown diamonds "real" diamonds?

Yes. Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically and optically identical to mined diamonds — same hardness, same sparkle. The only difference is origin: grown in a lab rather than mined from the ground.

Why are lab grown diamonds more affordable than mined diamonds?

Growing a diamond in a lab avoids the cost and time of large-scale mining operations, which is typically reflected in a lower price for a stone of comparable size and quality.

Can I combine lab grown diamonds with moissanite in one piece?

Yes — this is a popular request through our custom design service. Share your vision and our team will confirm feasibility and send CAD renders before production.
