The Pulse

Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds, and are considered just as real:

• Composition: Both are pure carbon 
• Properties: They have the same hardness, brilliance, fire, scintillation, and sparkle 
• Appearance: They can come in the same sizes, shapes, and colors 
• Grading: Specialized laboratories grade both types of diamonds based on their flaws The only differences between lab-grown and natural diamonds are their origin and price: 

OriginLab-grown diamonds are grown in a lab, while natural diamonds form deep in the Earth

PriceLab-grown diamonds are generally cheaper than natural diamonds of the same quality 

Other differences include:

• Traceability: Lab-grown diamonds are more traceable than mined diamonds 
• Environmental impact: Lab-grown diamonds have less environmental impact than mined diamonds 
• Time to create: Lab-grown diamonds can take a month or so to make, while natural diamonds take billions of years to form
