fun facts about lab grown diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds are stealing the spotlight in 2025 with their eco-friendly brilliance, budget-friendly appeal, and jaw-dropping quality. Whether it’s a stunning lab-grown diamond mangalsutra, a sleek LGD pendant, or dazzling earrings, these gems are rewriting the rules of sparkle! Curious? 

Let’s dive into 10 fun and surprising facts about these modern marvels.

1. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically the clone of mined diamonds.

Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds, so no one will ever know the difference (except your bank balance, of course). No digging, no mining, just pure sparkle, and you still get the same breathtaking beauty. The only difference is their origin and the time they take to form completely. And the best part? They are eco-friendly and sustainable with no guilt tags!

2. Lab-created diamonds are available in every colour of the rainbow (and more)

Gone are the days of just ‘clear’ diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds come in every colour of the rainbow and more! Whether you want a sultry sapphire blue, a flaming hot ruby red, or an emerald green that would make even Cleopatra jealous—the labs have it all (plus they are way more sparkling!)! So, why settle for a boring white when you can wear your personality in every shade of sparkling brilliance? After all, diamonds are meant to be fun and fabulous, right?

3. LGD are 20-30% cheaper than mined diamonds— sometimes you can save up to 60%!

Yes, you read that right. LGDs cut off the cost for mining and can be produced in huge quantities leaving you room to save big! That means you get the same dazzling sparkle for way less. So, go ahead and grab that dream engagement ring or a statement necklace. You’ll still have plenty left to pamper yourself with a spa day, a shopping spree or more diamonds!

4. No limits on diamonds here – lab-grown ones are in infinite supply!

What do lab-grown diamonds and your favourite Netflix series have in common? They never run out! With lab-grown diamonds, there’s no shortage—these beauties are produced in a lab, so the supply is limitless. Want a custom-made ring in a unique shape or size? No problem! These diamonds are available in a variety of cuts, shapes, and sizes, and there’s no ‘out of stock’ sign to worry about. It’s like a sparkling buffet, and you’re invited to try every dish!

5. You can get them in the shape, size and carat that you want! 

Lab diamonds come in all shapes, sizes, and hues. Whether you’re dreaming of a princess-cut lab-grown diamond ring or a radiant yellow diamond pendant, the lab’s got your back. It's literally like ordering from a multi cuisine restaurant. Just that— personalisation got a lot more dazzling!

6. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds

We get it. You’re skeptical. “Is this even a real diamond?” you ask. The answer is yes, yes it is! Lab-grown diamonds are not fake—they’re actual diamonds grown from a diamond seed in a high-tech lab. So when you wear that lab-grown diamond ring, you can proudly say, “Yes, I’m wearing a real diamond—just without the guilt of a mining operation.”

7. You can’t tell the difference between lab-grown and mined diamonds— unless you're superhuman ofcourse! 

You still wish to spot the difference?  Well, you can’t. To the naked eye, lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds are indistinguishable. Even gemologists need specialised tools to tell them apart. So whether it’s a diamond solitaire or lab-grown diamond earrings, no one will ever know the difference (unless you tell them).

8. Scientists are planning to fight back global warming with lab-grown diamonds! 

Scientists are planning to sprinkle diamond dust in the air to help cool down the planet. No, it’s not a sci-fi movie – it’s real! They’re planning to launch millions of tons of diamond dust into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight back into space and reduce global warming. Think of it as a cosmic "shade" for Earth! A study shows this glittery solution could cool the Earth by 1.6°C in 45 years. Well, but natural diamonds are limited and way too costly, so— LGDs gonna come to the rescue! 

9. They get a clarity so perfect, it’s almost unreal

Thanks to their controlled growth environment, lab diamonds often have exceptional clarity. Only about 2% of mined diamonds can match this level of perfection. Translation? Your lab-grown diamond pendants and necklaces will outshine the crowd of the mined sparklers! 

10. Lab-grown diamonds get certified on the same parameters as mined diamonds

Yes, lab-grown diamonds come with certifications too! From reputed institutions like IGI, SGL and GIA, these gems are graded just like their mined counterparts based on the 4C’s. So, whether you’re buying just any lab-grown diamond jewellery, you’re guaranteed quality and authenticity.
