When you are shopping for an engagement ring, wedding band, or other jewelry, you can choose lab-grown or natural diamonds. Lab diamonds are chemically identical to natural diamonds and can be more affordable than natural diamonds. So what are the advantages to choosing a natural diamond?

Both are true diamonds with equally stunning beauty, so the best choice for you all comes down to personal preference.
Choose natural diamonds if, for you, diamonds symbolize longstanding tradition (the first documented diamond engagement ring was created in 1477), connection to the earth (natural diamonds come from deep within the earth’s crust), eternity (many natural diamonds were formed during the first couple of billion years of earth’s history), and uniqueness (each natural diamond is a one-of-a-kind formation, created under unique geological conditions). Their timeliness and history has made them synonymous with eternal love and they are beloved as family heirlooms.

You might also choose natural diamonds if you plan to “trade up” your diamond later to celebrate a milestone. We offer a 100% trade-guarantee for natural diamond rings, solitaire earrings, and solitaire pendants.
And you can buy natural diamonds with peace of mind, as the 2003 Clean Diamond Trade Act ensures that all diamonds exported to the United States are mined ethically and conflict-free.
Natural diamonds will always be timeless, unique, and special. Stop in to your local Robbins Brothers today to find your perfect natural diamond.
