Wat is een in een laboratorium gekweekte diamant?

The lab-grown diamonds, also known as man-made or synthetic diamonds, are created in a laboratory setting using advanced technological processes that replicate the conditions under which natural diamonds form in the earth. In other words, with high temprature and high pressure. The result is a diamond that is chemically, physically, and optically identical to a natural diamond, but with several added benefits.

Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

It's also worth noting that lab-grown diamonds are just as "real" as natural diamonds. In the past, some people may have argued that lab-grown diamonds were not as "real" as natural diamonds, or that they lacked the sentimental value and uniqueness of a diamond that has been mined from the earth. However, advances in technology have made it increasingly difficult to distinguish lab-grown diamonds from natural ones, and many experts now consider them to be just as real as natural diamonds.

Can you tell the difference between lab and natural diamonds?

You can not tell a lab-grown diamond apart from a natural diamond. Even most diamond testers cannot distinguish between them. 

Are lab-grown diamonds sustainable?

One major benefit of lab-grown diamonds is their sustainability. The process of mining diamonds can have a significant environmental impact, as it often involves the removal of large amounts of earth and can disrupt ecosystems. Lab-grown diamonds, on the other hand, are created using renewable energy sources and do not require the destruction of natural habitats. This makes them a more eco-friendly option. This is the reason we at MNOP Jewelry have chosen to only work with lab-grown diamonds and recycled natural diamonds. 

Are lab-grown diamonds valuable?

In addition to being more sustainable, lab-grown diamonds are also often more affordable than natural diamonds. Because they are not subject to the same supply and demand dynamics, they can be purchased at a lower price. This is great news for those who want the beauty and symbolism of a diamond, but who may be on a tight budget.

Do lab-grown diamonds last?

Lab-grown diamond is a 10 on the Mohs scale. The same as diamonds. This means they are as scratch resistant and long-wearing as natural diamonds. 

In summary, lab-grown diamonds are a fantastic option for those who want the beauty and durability of a diamond, but who also want to consider sustainability and affordability. So if you're in the market for a diamond, don't forget to consider a lab-grown option!
