FAQ's
What are Lab Grown Diamonds?
Lab Grown Diamonds are diamonds created in a laboratory environment, replicating the natural conditions under which diamonds form beneath the Earth’s surface. These diamonds are physically, chemically, and optically identical to mined diamonds, and even professional gemologists cannot distinguish between them without advanced equipment.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds real diamonds?
Yes, Lab Grown Diamonds are real diamonds. Just like mined diamonds, they consist of pure carbon atoms arranged in a crystalline structure. The only difference is their origin—grown in a lab instead of mined from the earth.
Can you tell the difference between Lab Grown Diamonds and natural diamonds?
No, Lab Grown Diamonds are indistinguishable from natural diamonds by sight. Even trained personnel cannot tell the difference without specialized tools or testing equipment.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds more affordable than natural diamonds?
Yes, Lab Grown Diamonds typically cost 50-90% less than mined diamonds of comparable quality. However, they are priced based on the same factors as natural diamonds—cut, colour, clarity, and carat.
Can Lab Grown Diamonds be resold or exchanged?
Yes, Glimora offers lifetime exchange and buyback policies for Lab Grown Diamonds, ensuring that your investment holds value.
How do Lab Grown Diamonds compare to mined diamonds in appearance and quality?
Lab Grown Diamonds are visually, chemically, and physically the same as mined diamonds. They exhibit the same brilliance, fire, and durability, with the only difference being their origin.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds a sustainable choice?
Yes, Lab Grown Diamonds are considered an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to mined diamonds, as their production has a significantly lower environmental impact.
Do Lab Grown Diamonds receive grading and certification?
Yes, Lab Grown Diamonds are graded and certified by respected gemological institutions such as IGI, GIA, SGL, and EGL. All diamond jewellery sold by Glimora come with certification from reputable third-party labs.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds categorized by color and clarity in the same way as natural diamonds?
Yes, Lab Grown Diamonds are graded on the 4Cs—Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat—just like natural diamonds.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds identical to synthetic diamonds, cubic zirconia, or moissanite?
No, Lab Grown Diamonds are not synthetic diamonds, cubic zirconia (CZ), or moissanite. They are real diamonds, while CZ and moissanite are simulants that look similar but do not possess the same physical or chemical properties as diamonds.
Is it a good idea to purchase Lab Grown Diamonds?
Absolutely. Lab Grown Diamonds are a great investment. They are real diamonds, last forever, and retain their brilliance. Glimora offers buyback options, making them an attractive purchase for diamond lovers.
Do Lab Grown Diamonds have the same durability as natural diamonds?

Will Lab Grown Diamonds retain their brilliance and sparkle over the years?
No, Lab Grown Diamonds maintain their brilliance, fire, and sparkle forever. They do not fade, discolour, or cloud with time.
Do Lab Grown Diamonds have a uniform appearance?
No, each Lab Grown Diamond is unique, just like mined diamonds. Variations in size, colour, and clarity are natural, making each piece one-of-a-kind.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds fragile or break easily?
No, Lab Grown Diamonds are as hard and durable as mined diamonds. They have the same atomic structure, making them equally resilient to breakage.
