Lab-grown diamonds are diamonds created in a laboratory setting instead of being mined from the Earth's crust. These laboratories mimic the natural conditions under which diamonds develop over millions of years. They are physically, chemically, and optically identical to natural diamonds. Even jewellers and gemologists cannot tell the difference between lab-grown and natural diamonds.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. Despite being grown in reactors, they possess the same physical and optical characteristics as natural diamonds. A diamond is defined by its chemical composition—a crystalline structure of carbon atoms—not by whether it was mined. Therefore, lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds.

There is no way to differentiate between them just by looking. Even a trained jeweller or expert cannot tell the difference with the naked eye or a normal microscope. Only advanced equipment in gemological labs can identify lab-grown diamonds.

Lab-grown diamonds are a worthy investment because they are real diamonds that last forever. Just as buybacks are offered on natural diamonds, NDV Jewellers offers a buyback on lab-grown diamonds. NDV Jewellers offers an 80% buyback on lab-grown diamonds.

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds typically retail at a 60–90% discount compared to natural diamonds of equivalent quality. Like natural diamonds, they are priced based on the 4Cs: Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat.

Lab-grown diamonds are graded using the same standards as mined diamonds. They are certified by leading gemological labs such as IGI, SGL, and EGL.All lab-grown diamonds used by NDV Jewellers are graded and certified by renowned third-party organizations.

No. Lab-grown diamonds are not synthetic diamonds, cubic zirconia (CZ), or moissanite. While CZ and moissanite are diamond simulants, lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds.

Diamonds are the hardest material on Earth, ranking 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Lab-grown diamonds share this same rank, making them extremely durable. They match mined diamonds in hardness, strength, and durability, ensuring they can be handed down to the next generation.

No. Lab-grown diamonds do not fade, discolour, or cloud over time; their beauty is timeless.

No , Machines cannot be programmed to create a specific diamond grade or carat size. While machines provide the necessary conditions, nature takes over from there.Just like mined diamonds, every piece will have variances in colour, clarity, and carat size.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are characterized based on the 4Cs: Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat
