Lab Grown Diamonds
Definiton
Are you asking yourself: what does the term Lab Grown Diamonds mean?
Lab Grown Diamonds (LGDs) are real diamonds created in a laboratory rather than mined from the earth. They have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as natural diamonds: both are pure carbon crystals with identical hardness, brilliance, and sparkle.
The key difference lies in their origin:
- Natural diamonds form over billions of years deep within the earth under extreme pressure and heat.
- Lab Grown Diamonds are produced in high-tech facilities that replicate these natural conditions in just a few weeks.
Unlike diamond simulants such as cubic zirconia or moissanite, LGDs are not imitations. They are authentic diamonds, indistinguishable from mined diamonds without specialized equipment used by gemological laboratories.

How are Lab Grown
Diamonds Made?
Lab Grown Diamonds are created using advanced technology that mimics the natural conditions in which diamonds form deep inside the Earth. Two main methods are used:
HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature)
Carbon is exposed to extreme pressure and high temperatures, replicating the natural diamond growth process.
This method was the first to produce gem-quality lab diamonds and is still widely used.
CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition)
A thin diamond “seed” is placed in a chamber filled with carbon-rich gas.
Under controlled heat and pressure, carbon atoms bond layer by layer, growing into a crystal.
This process allows for very precise control of purity and quality.
Both methods result in diamonds that are indistinguishable from mined diamonds in terms of composition, hardness, and brilliance.
Lab Grown vs.
Natural Diamonds
Lab Grown Diamonds are a modern innovation: sustainable, ethical, and more affordable. They provide the same sparkle and durability, making them an excellent
choice for those seeking beauty with a lighter footprint.
Yet, natural diamonds remain unmatched in their:
- Rarity & Legacy – each natural diamond was formed over billions of years deep within the Earth, making it a true geological wonder.
- Long-Term Value – natural diamonds tend to hold value more consistently, while the market for Lab Grown Diamonds is still developing.
- Symbolism – for many, a natural diamond represents timeless love and tradition — an heirloom to be passed down through generations.
At acredo, we are proud to offer both choices:
- Lab Grown Diamonds — the sustainable, innovative option
- Natural Diamonds — the rare and enduring classic
This way, you can select the diamond that best reflects your values, your love story, and your vision of the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Lab Grown Diamonds
Are Lab Grown Diamonds real diamonds?
Lab Grown Diamonds have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. Both are authentic diamonds — the main difference lies in their origin.
Can you see a difference between Lab Grown and natural diamonds?
To the naked eye, they look identical. Only specialized gemological equipment can determine whether a diamond is lab grown or natural.
Do Lab Grown Diamonds hold their value?
Lab Grown Diamonds offer excellent quality at a more accessible price point. Natural diamonds, however, are rare and historically recognized for their long-term value retention.
What sizes of Lab Grown Diamonds are available at acredo?
At acredo, we offer Lab Grown Diamonds in the range of 0.3 to 2.0 carats, each accompanied by an IGI certificate for quality assurance.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds sustainable?
They are considered a more environmentally responsible alternative, because they avoid large-scale mining. Natural diamonds remain valued for their uniqueness and geological rarity.
