Learn More About Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Rings From Our Scottsdale, AZ Store

Interested in learning more about lab-grown diamonds? We’ve got you covered. Get all the details from our Scottsdale, Arizona store in this recent news story from ABC 15. Below we walk through what lab-grown diamonds are, how our team can help you shop for one, and a few of the lab-grown engagement rings we love.

What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds are optically, physically, and chemically identical to mined diamonds, and they are evaluated with the same grading system for cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. The only difference is where they begin. One forms in the earth over billions of years, while the other is created in a controlled environment in a matter of weeks. Diamonds are diamonds whether they are formed in a lab or in the earth, and the significance is the same: a symbol of your enduring love and commitment. If you want to compare your options, our lab-grown diamond guide and our look at the legacy of natural diamonds are great places to start.

Why guests choose lab-grown

Lab-grown diamonds tend to offer more value per carat, which means you can reach for a larger center stone or a more diamond-intensive band for the same budget. We carry both lab-grown and conflict-free mined diamonds so you can choose the path that feels right for you, with no pressure either way.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a lab-grown diamond?

A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond created in a controlled environment rather than mined from the earth. It shares the same carbon crystal structure and the same physical, optical, and chemical properties as a natural diamond. Our team can show you both in person so you can see just how identical they are.

How do lab-grown diamonds compare to natural diamonds in cost and value?

Lab-grown diamonds generally offer more size and sparkle for your budget, so many guests use the difference to size up their center stone or add more diamonds to the band. Natural diamonds carry a rarity and heritage that some couples prefer. Both are wonderful choices, and a visit to our showroom is the best way to weigh what matters most to you.

Are lab-grown diamonds real and certified?

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are genuine diamonds, and the ones we carry are independently graded and certified using the same standards applied to natural stones. Bring any questions to your appointment and we will review the grading report with you.

Are lab-grown diamonds conflict-free?

Because they are created in a controlled setting, lab-grown diamonds are inherently conflict-free. We are also committed to responsibly sourced, conflict-free mined diamonds, so whichever route you choose, you can feel good about it.

Do lab-grown diamonds come in all shapes?

They do. From round and oval to pear, cushion, emerald, and more, lab-grown diamonds are available in the full range of popular shapes. Our jewelry consultants can help you match a shape to your hand and your personal style.

What should I know about resale or trading up a lab-grown diamond?

Resale values differ between lab-grown and natural diamonds, so it is worth discussing your long-term plans before you buy. Ask us about our upgrade options during your visit so you understand how trading up could work down the road.

Is my lab-grown diamond ring protected after I buy it?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty covers cleaning, inspection, and covered repairs so your ring stays beautiful for years to come. We are happy to explain exactly what is included when you stop in.

Do I need an appointment to shop for lab-grown diamonds?

Walk-ins are always welcome, but booking ahead means we can set aside dedicated time with a diamond expert. You can book an appointment online whenever it is convenient for you.
