When did lab grown diamonds become popular?
Lab grown diamonds have risen in popularity over the past few decades, driven by advancements in technology, growing interest in ethical sourcing, and their more accessible pricing. As consumers look for sustainable alternatives to mined diamonds, lab grown options have become increasingly appealing. With modern technology, these diamonds exhibit the same beauty and quality as natural stones, making them virtually indistinguishable to the eye. Their identical structure, combined with ethical and cost advantages, has made lab grown diamonds a compelling choice for today’s jewelry buyers.
Will lab grown diamonds pass a diamond tester?

Can you insure a lab-grown diamond?

In many cases, choosing a lab grown diamond can even lower your overall insurance costs due to its more accessible purchase price.
Do lab grown diamonds scratch?

To keep your diamond looking its best, handle it with care and avoid exposing it to abrasive surfaces or harsh chemicals during cleaning.
