Lab created diamonds are grown in highly controlled laboratory environments using advanced technological processes that duplicate the conditions under which diamonds naturally occur in the earth's crust. Once grown, cut and polished, these diamonds look identical to our natural conflict free diamonds, and are in fact chemically the same as genuine diamonds. Our lab grown diamonds are readily available in fancy colors that are considered very rare in nature, including the very popular hues of vibrant canary yellow and vivid orange. Fancy colored lab created diamonds sell at comparatively reasonable prices compared to their natural colored diamond counterparts. There are fewer manmade white diamonds available and very few in the classic colorless or near colorless range - these synthetic diamonds tend to come only in smaller sizes. Once selected, lab created diamonds can be expertly set in the recycled gold or platinum setting of your choice.

It is important to note the vast distinction between synthetic lab created diamonds and diamond simulants. Synthetic diamonds are manmade gems that consist of actual carbon atoms arranged in the characteristic diamond crystal structure. Diamond simulants, such as cubic zirconia and moissanite, are diamond look-alikes and are not true carbon crystals. Simulants do not have the same chemical and physical properties as diamonds and therefore simulants sell at much lower prices than lab created diamonds.

Lab created diamonds use advanced technology with either extreme pressure and heat or a special deposition process, Our lab created diamonds are grown from the tiny carbon seeds of pre-existing diamonds. Lab grown fancy colored diamonds are formed when small amounts of specific trace elements are present during the growth phase of the diamond, just like in nature. All of our lab created diamonds are physically, optically and chemically indistinguishable from our natural diamonds. Using professional gemological equipment, manmade diamonds are nearly impossible to differentiate from natural diamonds. The synthetic stones can only be identified with extensive scientific testing using specialized equipment. Lab created diamonds available for purchase should always come with gem certifications identifying them as laboratory-grown.

Brilliant Earth is dedicated to offering socially and environmentally responsible fine jewelry. All of our lab created diamond jewelry pieces are accompanied with a certificate of origin to provide assurance that they are ethically grown with minimal environmental impact.
