Your Questions, Answered

Absolutely. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, with the same chemical composition, physical properties and brilliance as natural diamonds. The only difference is their origin. Natural diamonds form deep within the Earth, while lab-grown diamonds are created using advanced technology in controlled environments.

They're not imitations or substitutes. They're genuine diamonds, just created differently.

The main difference is how they're formed. Natural diamonds develop over millions of years beneath the Earth's surface, while lab-grown diamonds are produced using technology that replicates the conditions in which diamonds form.

Both have the same hardness, brilliance and optical properties. However, lab-grown diamonds are generally significantly more affordable, allowing you to explore larger stones or more elaborate designs within your budget.

Lab-grown diamonds are created using two main methods: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD).

Both methods use advanced technology to grow genuine diamond crystals under controlled conditions. The result is a real diamond with the same fundamental properties as one formed naturally.

Not simply by looking at it. Lab-grown and natural diamonds appear virtually identical to the naked eye, and even experienced jewellers generally require specialised equipment to distinguish between them reliably.

Independent diamond grading laboratories use advanced testing methods to identify a diamond's origin and assess its characteristics.

Ask our team to confirm the grading documentation supplied with the particular piece you choose. This may include an SGL or IGI report, depending on the diamond or jewellery.

Check the issuing laboratory, report number and what the report covers. Our diamond reports and verification page explains how to check the record and compare it with the documentation supplied.

Although they can look similar, lab-grown diamonds and moissanite are entirely different gemstones.

Lab-grown diamonds are made of carbon and have the same properties as natural diamonds. Moissanite is primarily composed of silicon carbide and produces a different type of sparkle, often displaying more rainbow-coloured flashes.

Both are popular jewellery options, but only lab-grown diamonds are genuine diamonds.

The price depends on several factors, including the diamond's carat weight, cut, colour, clarity, gold purity and overall design.

Lab-grown diamonds typically cost considerably less than comparable natural diamonds, making fine diamond jewellery more accessible without compromising on the diamond's fundamental properties.

Lab-grown diamonds are beautiful pieces of jewellery, but we don't recommend purchasing them as an investment.

Like natural diamonds, their resale value can differ significantly from their original purchase price. Lab-grown diamond prices have also declined over time, so future resale values shouldn't be assumed.

At Glora Diamonds, we believe in being transparent with our customers. We offer lifetime exchange options on eligible jewellery, subject to our exchange policy.

The precious metals used in your jewellery also have their own market value, although future gold prices are never guaranteed.

Our team is happy to explain the applicable exchange terms before you purchase.

Lab-grown diamonds are exceptionally durable, but regular care helps keep your jewellery looking its best.

For everyday cleaning, gently wash your jewellery using warm water, mild soap and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry using a soft, lint-free cloth.

Avoid harsh chemicals and store individual pieces separately to prevent scratches to the metal or other gemstones.

For jewellery worn regularly, we also recommend having the settings and clasps inspected periodically.
