Lab-Grown Diamonds
Engagement Rings Red Deer
REAL AND SPECTACULAR
Exceptional Selection & Value
VALUE
Lab-grown diamonds, also known as cultured diamonds, are a revolutionary alternative to traditional mined diamonds. These diamonds are created in a controlled laboratory environment, using advanced technology to replicate the natural diamond formation process. By mimicking the conditions found deep within the Earth's crust, lab-grown diamonds are produced with the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. What sets them apart is their ethical and environmental superiority.
Lab-grown diamonds are priced up to 60-80% less than their mined counterparts, making them an affordable and sustainable choice for those seeking a beautiful and high-quality gemstone. Moreover, they are free of any environmental or humanitarian concerns associated with diamond mining, such as deforestation, water pollution, and human rights abuses.
If you are shopping for diamonds or an engagement ring, consider the sparkling allure of lab-grown diamonds that combine affordability, sustainability, and ethical peace of mind.
Physically Identical
INDISTINGUISHABLE
Lab-grown diamonds, also known as synthetic diamonds, are created in a controlled environment using advanced technology. They possess the same chemical composition, optical properties, and physical characteristics as diamonds extracted from the Earth's crust. Through a meticulously controlled process, these diamonds are grown atom by atom, replicating the natural formation of diamonds over thousands of years. This remarkable resemblance to earth-mined diamonds makes lab-grown diamonds a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative that embodies the beauty and allure of their naturally occurring counterparts.
HUMANITARIAN
By choosing to purchase lab grown diamonds, not only are you acquiring a stunning piece of jewellery, but you are also contributing to the elimination of conflict within the traditional diamond market. These ethically sourced diamonds are grown in a controlled environment, ensuring their quality and minimizing harm to the environment. Be part of the movement that promotes sustainable and responsible practices while enjoying the beauty of lab-grown diamonds.
What are Lab Grown Diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds (also called lab-created, man-made, engineered, synthetic or cultured diamonds) are in fact chemically, optically and physically identical to earth-mined diamonds, but are more ethical, and affordable than any Earth-mined diamond. We're replicating the earth's natural process by crystallizing carbon in a modern-day lab environment into brilliant diamonds that are priced up to 60%-80% less, and are free of any environmental or humanitarian concerns.
ARE LAB GROWN DIAMONDS REAL?
Yes! It's a fact that lab-created diamonds are real diamonds, identical in every way (except the price!) to mined diamonds. Not to be confused with cubic zirconia or a "look-a-like" diamond, LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS ARE 100% PURE CRYSTALLIZED CARBON. Think of it as making ice in your modern-day freezer versus getting it from a glacier; both are frozen H2O regardless of the origin. We are crystalizing carbon into stunning rough diamonds that are then cut, polished and graded just like Earth-mined diamonds. Lab-created carry the same optical, physical and chemical properties. They have the same refractive index, dispersion, and hardness, and are graded to the same standards as mined diamonds by leading independent gemological institutes including IGI, GIA and GCAL.

How are lab-grown diamonds made?Grown diamonds are made one of two ways - eithr through high-pressure high temperature (HPHT), or through chemical vapour deposition (CVD). The majority of CJL's dimonds are grown using CVD which has been the most successful in producing higher quality diamonds. HIGH PRESSURE HIGH TEMPURATURE (HPHT) HPHT recreates the natural growing environment found within the earth. This process is best suited for producing gem quality dimonds to be set in finished jewellery. CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION (CVD) Scientists start by cutting a small piece of carbon, known as seed. It is placed in a low-pressure microwave chemical vapor deposition (CVD) chamber. Within 6-12 weeks, a sizable rough dimond is formed. It is then cut, polished, and graded by the same world-renowned labs that certify earth-mined diamonds.

What are the quality grades of lab-grown diamonds?Our collection of lab grown diamonds are available up to IF in clarity, D in color, Ideal in cut, with large carat weights in all shapes, including round, rose, emerald, cushion, oval, oval rose, heart, princess, trillion, and radiant. Limited quantity fancy colors are available in yellow, blue, pink, and green and fancy shapes such as triangle and hexagon.

What is the resale value of lab-grown diamonds?There are many ways to tell the difference between a fake diamond and the real thing. Turns out, the definition of a real diamond is not linked to origin (earth vs lab), but rather by its characteristics. Lab created or man made diamonds have been created replicating the earth's natural process, and will pass a diamond tester because of their identical characteristics.
-
Do all lab-grown diamonds look alike?No. A lot of people think we can program the process to create a specific diamond grade and carat size that are the same each time, but we can’t. We are simply putting the right conditions together but then nature takes it from there. Just like with earth-mined diamonds, there will be variances in color, clarity and carat size.
-
Can you tell the difference between an Earth-mined and man-made diamond?Lab-grown diamonds are indistinguishable from Earth-mined diamonds, even under a microscope, according to the Gemological Institute of America.
-
Are lab-created diamonds graded and certified?All CJL lab created diamonds over 0.5ct are graded the same way earth mined diamonds are and come with a grading certificate.
-
Are lab-grown diamonds more environmentally friendly?Unlike earth mined diamonds, our lab grown diamonds are created without negatively harming native communities, society or the Earth. Lab grown diamonds are seven times less impactful to the environment than mined diamonds, use significantly less resources and emit a fraction of the air pollution."
