Lab Grown Diamonds

Lab grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. They have the same chemical makeup, sparkle, and strength as mined diamonds—but are created in high-tech, controlled lab environments. What sets them apart is their modern, ethical twist: lab diamonds offer the same brilliance and durability, while supporting sustainability and conflict-free sourcing.

A lab grown diamond comes with more than just beauty, it comes with a purpose. At Lucenjuri, we believe that luxury should be more than something to showcase remarkable craftsmanship but also considers forward-thinking values. By choosing a lab diamond, you embrace a story of innovation, ethics, and sustainability, without having to sacrifice on beauty or compromising on brilliance.

Lab grown diamonds are developed in regulated conditions with fully traceable origins, making sure there is zero conflict and zero ethical ambiguity. A traditional mine's operation can displace over 250 tons of earth per carat, lab grown diamonds leave a lighter footprint—there is no mining involved, using up to 85% less water, and causing minimal environmental disruption. Lab grown diamonds are a meaningful step toward a much more responsible future in fine jewelry.

Lab grown diamonds generally offer greater value than mined stones. This means, for the same price you can either have a larger carat, better quality, or a more intricate design—all of these pieces are attainable within the same price point. Whether you're dreaming of a bold solitaire or something uniquely detailed, lab diamonds will allow you the opportunity to create something both personal and out of the ordinary.

Thanks to their consistent availability in different shapes, sizes, and qualities, lab diamonds offer greater possibilities for personalization. From loose, conflict-free stones to beautifully crafted rings, earrings, and necklaces, you'll find a curated selection of sustainable options to explore. With Lucenjuri, you'll be able to find beautiful sustainable lab grown diamonds that speak to your values and personal style, giving you a unique combination of design, innovation and responsibility in a single piece of jewelry.

There are two advanced methods used to create diamonds in lab: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Both of these methods replicate the natural circumstances under which diamonds are formed. 

Each technique uses specialized technology to grow diamonds with precision and consistency. The result is a gemstone that is chemically, physically, and visually identical to those formed over billions of years deep within the Earth—now made possible in a matter of weeks, inside a laboratory.

Lab grown diamonds have transformed the jewelry industry, providing an ethical and sustainable alternative—without compromising quality or aesthetics.

Lab grown and natural diamonds may look and feel exactly the same—but what sets them apart is how they’re made and the impact they leave behind. Understanding the difference helps you make a more informed and values-aligned decision when choosing your perfect diamond.

From a gemological reference, lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds are identical. Both have pure carbon atoms bonded in a crystal lattice and rank a 10 on the Moh's scale of hardness. They sparkle with the same brilliance, fire, and clarity. Whether formed deep in the Earth or inside a lab, every diamond gets its beauty and durability from the same core structure.

To the naked eye—and even under a jeweler’s loupe—there is no visible differences between lab grown diamonds and mined diamonds. Identifying a diamond’s origin takes advanced lab equipment, and gemologists often need to study its internal growth patterns and trace elements to determine where it came from.

For most people, this difference is mostly technical. What really matters is the cut, color, clarity, and carat—the things that shape how your diamond looks, sparkles, and shines, no matter how it was created.

Yes—lab grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. They are not imitations or lookalikes like cubic zirconia or moissanite. Instead, they are real stones that are not only chemically, but also optically and physically identical to mined diamonds. The only real difference? Where they're created—in a lab, rather than deep within the Earth.

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) which regulates the jewelry industry, has classified officially in 2018 that lab grown diamonds are real diamonds. Leading gemological institutions including GIA and IGI, also classify lab diamonds as real diamonds. They have the same crystal formation and carbon lattice as mined diamonds and undergo the same current standards of scientific evaluation that have been used in the diamond industry for generations.

And yes—lab grown diamonds pass standard diamond testers. Because they have the same thermal and electrical conductivity as mined diamonds, they register as real on most professional testing tools.

Just like natural diamonds, lab grown diamonds are graded using the 4Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight. Reputable labs like IGI and GIA certify lab diamonds to guarantee that each stone has been thoroughly evaluated for quality and consistency.

So when you choose a certified lab grown diamond, you can trust that you're getting a stone that’s every bit as real—and radiant—as one that’s been mined.
