Lab-Grownvs. Earth-Mined Diamonds

What are the differences between Lab-Grown Diamonds vs Earth Grown Diamonds? Dr. Diamond never compromises any detail.


While high-quality Natural Diamonds and Lab Diamonds may appear identical, they diverge significantly in cost, value, rarity and eco-friendliness.

In this video, he demonstrates with top-of-the-line technology how to tell the difference between lab and natural diamonds as a manufacturer.

THE 4 C’S

Beautiful. Rare. Cherished. Each diamond is unique and is a miracle of time, place and change.
And each has specific qualities that establish its value.
In the 20th century, a universal standard for diamonds was elusive. GIA changed the game with the 4Cs: Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carat. These four criteria now globally define diamond quality, demystifying the purchase process.

The 4Cs Signify Two Key Advancements: Universal Language and Informed Buying. Dr. Diamond simplifies the 4Cs in this video for your education.

THE 4 C’S

Diamond clarity reflects freedom from imperfections.

Natural diamonds form under intense heat and pressure, leading to internal 'inclusions' and external 'blemishes.' Evaluating clarity involves assessing the number, size, relief, nature, and placement of these characteristics, along with their impact on the stone's overall appearance.

Keep in mind, no diamond is entirely flawless, but the closer it comes to purity, the higher its clarity. Often, many imperfections are minuscule and require a trained diamond grader to discern.

COLOR

Diamond color is essentially the absence of color. In the realm of gem-quality diamonds, the evaluation revolves around the degree of colorlessness.

A chemically pure and structurally perfect diamond, like pure water, exhibits no hue and is inherently more valuable. GIA's D-to-Z diamond color-grading system quantifies this colorlessness by comparing diamonds to established master stones under controlled lighting and precise viewing conditions.

While these color distinctions may escape the untrained eye, they wield a significant influence on diamond quality and value.

CUT

• Brightness:Reflecting white light.
• Fire: Scattering light into colors.
• Scintillation:Creating sparkle and intricate light patterns.

SHAPE

A diamond's shape is its defining feature, shaping its brilliance and personality.

At Dr. Diamond, we offer the 9 most popular diamond shapes, certified by GIA and IGI, including the beloved Round Brilliant and Princess cuts.Behind the cut, diamond cutters aim to maximize carat weight, making shape selection pivotal. Round cuts, while popular, often result in higher rough diamond wastage. Other shapes are deeper, preserving more of the rough diamond and reducing costs.


The diamond's value hinges on wastage and shape's popularity, making it a fascinating facet of the diamond world.

CERTIFICATION

Certified diamonds undergo grading, assessing the 4 Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight.

When in search of a diamond, it's a smart choice to opt for certified diamonds, as they ensure stone quality. With certification, buyers gain confidence based on a diamond's true attributes, reducing reliance on sales pitches.
