Natural Vs Lab Grown

Laboratory grown diamonds have essentially the same chemical, physical, and optical characteristics as natural diamonds, but their origin stories are very different. All natural diamonds were formed by the earth billions of years ago; lab grown diamonds are created in laboratories or factories in days or weeks. While lab grown diamonds lack the rarity of natural diamonds, they offer the same beauty as natural diamonds and are often less expensive because of their mass production.

Diamond Rating And Grades

Why should you ask for a grading report?

How are diamonds graded?

Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carat Weight are collectively called the 4Cs of diamond quality. Color measures a diamond's absence of color. Clarity considers a diamond's inclusions and blemishes and how they affect its appearance. Cut describes the diamond's fire, brilliance, and proportions. Carat weight is the measurement of who much a diamond weighs in carats. These grades are determined by trained gemologists and often recorded in a diamond grading report.

How does grading impact a diamond’s price?

Perfect things are hard to find, and a natural diamond's price is directly related to its quality and rarity. As you move up the grading scale for each of the 4Cs, there are fewer and fewer stones available, making them more rare, more precious, and often more expensive. Working with an experienced local jeweler is the best way to ensure you maximize your budget and get the best quality stone possible.
