Choosing lab-grown diamond jewellery at Glora Diamonds

Choosing lab-grown diamond jewellery means comparing the complete piece: the diamond, setting, fit, documentation and price. Glora Diamonds offers a place to explore designs and discuss a custom piece in Chennai or Bangalore.

Understand what a lab-grown diamond is

A lab-grown diamond is a diamond, rather than a simulant such as cubic zirconia. Lab-grown and natural diamonds have essentially the same chemical, physical and optical properties. Origin and growth characteristics differ, and individual stones still vary in colour, clarity and appearance.

HPHT and CVD growth

High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) uses high pressure and temperature to grow diamond. Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) grows diamond from a carbon-containing gas. A growth method is not a quality grade: compare the finished stone and its documentation.

Our CVD and HPHT guide also explains why growth method and post-growth treatment are separate questions.

Check the documentation for your chosen piece

Ask which independent report covers the diamond or finished jewellery, what it assesses and how to verify its number. A report for mounted jewellery may have a different scope from a loose-diamond report.

Report formats also differ. GIA’s current assessment for colourless to near-colourless laboratory-grown diamonds uses Premium and Standard descriptions. Other reports may provide individual colour and clarity grades. Read our IGI, GIA and SGL comparison before treating different documents as equivalent.

Compare lab-grown and natural options carefully

Neither origin guarantees a future resale price. Our resale and buyback guide separates resale, cash buyback and exchange credit.

Explore jewellery for your occasion

Engagement and bridal rings

Start with engagement rings, then compare shape, setting height, band width and how the ring sits with a wedding band. Confirm the size for the intended finger and hand.

Everyday earrings, pendants and bracelets

Compare the scale and weight of earrings, the fastening of a bracelet and whether a pendant quotation includes its chain. Jewellery intended for regular wear should suit the wearer’s routine and care requirements.

Traditional and custom designs

Explore closed Chettinad earrings or discuss a piece through our custom-design service. Bring reference images and explain which details you want to retain or change.

Use the consultation to confirm practical details

1. Share the brief. Explain the occasion, preferred designs, budget and intended wear.
2. Compare the piece. Check dimensions, comfort, diamond information and the complete quotation.
3. Review custom work. Confirm design feasibility, the proposed preview, specifications and production timing before approval.
4. Read the terms. Check the applicable resizing, returns, repairs, exchange and buyback arrangements in writing.
