  • WHAT ARE LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS?

WHAT ARE LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS?

Lab-grown diamonds are physically and chemically identical to earth-grown or natural diamonds.

WHAT ARE CONSCIOUS LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS?

Lab-grown diamonds, also known as man-made, cultured, cultivated or synthetic diamonds, are physically, chemically and optically the same as earth-grown, natural diamonds. Both natural and lab-grown diamonds are made from 100% carbon, and exposed to high-pressure and high-temperature. The only difference is that lab-grown diamonds are created in state-of-the-art laboratories, which can now replicate the natural growing process of diamond formation in a controlled environment.

At Anantaa Diamonds, we have termed our lab-grown diamonds as Conscious Diamonds as they are responsibly sourced and do not involve human mining, which destroys ecosystems and wildlife habitats.
 

WHERE AND HOW ARE LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS MADE?

Lab-grown diamonds are created in a laboratory from a diamond seed that has been subject to intense pressure, extreme heat and carbon, using either the HPHT or CVD method. These methods mimic the process of natural diamond formation, making lab-grown diamonds indistinguishable from their earth-grown counterparts. Once grown, they are cut and polished in the same way as natural diamonds and are graded according to the 4Cs — cut, color, clarity and carat.


HOW CAN I DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN LAB-GROWN AND NATURAL DIAMONDS?

It is virtually impossible to differentiate a lab-grown diamond from an earth-grown, natural diamond with the naked eye.

To know whether a diamond is lab-grown or not, you can look at the unique serial number that is laser inscribed on the girdle. You can then cross-check this with the diamond’s certificate, which will reveal if the diamond is lab-grown or not. Additionally, a trained gemologist can use specialised equipment to differentiate between lab-grown and natural diamonds.

WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA FOR GRADING AND CERTIFYING LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS?

Lab-grown diamonds are graded and evaluated on the same scale as earth-grown, natural diamonds. Once the lab-grown diamond is cut and polished, it is sent to an independent gem lab to be certified by an expert who uses the same 4Cs grading criteria as natural, earth-mined diamond.

At Anantaa Diamonds, our loose Conscious Diamonds are certified either by The International Gemological Institute (IGI) or The Gemological Institute of America (GIA).

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE A CONSCIOUS LAB-GROWN DIAMOND? 

100% Conflict-Free

Unlike earth-grown, natural diamonds, which often come from conflict zones, Anantaa Diamonds' Conscious Diamonds are 100% conflict-free. This means you are assured that your purchase haven't negatively affected any communities. You can wear your Anantaa Diamonds creation with a clear conscience.

Sustainable

Earth-grown, natural diamonds require vast amounts of energy and resources to extract from the earth, resulting in significant environmental damage. Anantaa Diamonds' Conscious Diamonds, on the other hand, have a much smaller ecological footprint, requiring only a fraction of the energy and resources needed.

Affordable

At Anantaa Diamonds, you are assured of the best price, which is typically 20-30% less as compared to jewellery that uses earth-grown, natural diamonds. This also means that you can get a higher carat, colour or clarity at the same price.

SOME MORE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS: 

DO LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS LOOK DULLER THAN NATURAL DIAMONDS?

Since lab-grown diamonds have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as earth-grown, natural diamonds, they have the same fire, brilliance and sparkle. To the naked eye, there is no way to distinguish between them.

ARE ANANTAA DIAMONDS' CONSCIOUS DIAMONDS FAKE?

Anantaa Diamonds' Conscious Diamonds are not fake as they are identical to earth-grown, natural diamonds in terms of crystal structure, chemical composition, appearance and physical properties.

A diamond is considered a diamond because of the crystalline structure of carbon atoms, not because it is mined from the earth.

ARE CONSCIOUS DIAMONDS CONFLICT FREE?

At Anantaa Diamonds, our Conscious Diamonds are guaranteed conflict free and cruelty-free, as they are created in meticulously controlled laboratory conditions. They do not have any association with blood diamonds or conflict diamonds.

ARE ANANTAA DIAMONDS' CONSCIOUS DIAMONDS AND JEWELLERY CERTIFIED?

At Anantaa Diamonds, each creation comes with a certificate issued by EGL India. You will also receive a laboratory-grown diamond report issued by IGI (International Gemological Institute) or GIA for each diamond that is bigger than 0.90 carats.

HOW ARE ANANTAA DIAMONDS' CONSCIOUS DIAMONDS MORE ECONOMICAL THAN MINED DIAMONDS?

Diamond mining takes years of prospecting over hundreds of acres of land. The cost of heavy machinery along with human labour only adds to this cost, not to mention a longer supply chain.

In the case of Anantaa Diamonds' Conscious Diamonds, advanced laboratories create diamonds using superior technology, free from the costs mentioned above, making them a financially prudent choice for a consumer.

HOW DO CONSCIOUS DIAMONDS DIFFER FROM DIAMOND SIMULANTS?

Anantaa Diamonds' Conscious Diamonds are made from carbon crystals. On the other hand, diamond simulants, such as cubic zirconia and moissanite, are not. As such, even though they may look similar to lab-grown and earth-grown, natural diamonds, they do not have the same chemical properties as diamonds. This is why they can be distinguished by the naked eye.

After you place an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. We will confirm our acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the products have been dispatched.

If we are unable to supply you with a product, for example, because that product is not in stock or no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our Site or because we cannot verify delivery or payment information you have supplied, we will inform you of this by email and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the products, we will refund you the full amount, including any shipping fees charged, as soon as possible. 

We may restrict delivery to the address to which your credit or debit card is registered if we are unable to verify the delivery or payment information you have supplied.

It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated in our price list, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
