In case you never heard of Pinocchio (which I don’t know where you have been if you haven’t but that is another story), it is a story of a wooden puppet that wanted to become a REAL boy. What does this story have to do with what we are discussing today? Great question! To answer, many people think lab grown diamonds are not a REAL diamond. They are the Pinocchio of the diamond market. This would be a HUGE mistake to think. In this article, we are going to dive in to just some of those reasons why.

First thing is first! There is no denying that natural diamonds are something to be admired and to be be cherished by whoever receives these beautiful stones. However, to say that a “LG” or Lab-Grown diamond is NOT a diamond would be simply untrue. See there are diamond simulants such as Moissanite that would definitely fall under that umbrella. This is because these stones miss one vital detail; Carbon. However, the lab-grown diamonds are identical to the natural stone in every way. You can also get a lot more bling with a fraction of the debt. There are two main types of Lab-Grown diamonds, they are CVD and HPHT. The methods for both of these vary depending on application but it cuts out the time in earth and is ready for consumers in months! So less waiting and save money too? Who doesn’t like that?!
