FAQ
LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS
The only difference between a mined diamond and a lab grown diamond is its origin. They are both composed of carbon and have the same optical, physical and chemical characteristics.
No, it is not the same thing at all. Simulants such as moissanite or cubic zirconia imitate the appearance of a diamond, and colorless natural stones such as zircon or quartz may also resemble a diamond, but none possess its properties. A lab-grown diamond IS a real diamond, recognized as such by all major gemological laboratories worldwide (GIA, IGI, HRD).
This is a French legal obligation. In reality, the term is misleading: no chemical synthesis takes place. Carbon crystallizes naturally, as in nature, but in a laboratory. On international certificates, the term "Lab Grown Diamond" (Laboratory Grown Diamond) is more accurate.
It takes a few weeks to two months, depending on the size and color, to create a diamond in a laboratory.
LAB-GROWN FANCY COLOR DIAMOND
Exquisite Lab Diamonds offers colored lab-grown diamonds, known as Fancy Color Diamonds.
In their natural state, diamonds can exist in a wide range of colors (pink, blue, yellow, green, etc.), but these stones are extremely rare and often inaccessible.
Lab-grown colored diamonds reproduce these hues under perfectly controlled conditions. They possess the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds, while being far more accessible.
The result: exceptional stones with intense and varied colors, without compromising on beauty or quality.
QUALITY & AUTHENTICITY
No. They are indistinguishable to the naked eye and even under a jeweler’s loupe. Only a laboratory equipped with specialized instruments can identify the origin of a diamond.
Yes. Every lab-grown diamond sold by Exquisite Lab Diamonds is accompanied by its international gemological certificate (IGI, WISE, GIA, or others), certifying the quality of the stone according to the 4Cs: carat, color, clarity, and cut.
The 4Cs are the four universal criteria used to evaluate a lab-grown diamond (or any diamond) on a laboratory certificate. They are always indicated in English:
- Carat (weight)
- Cut
- Color, graded on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (more noticeable tint)
- Clarity, graded on a scale from FL (flawless) to I (visible inclusions)
These standards are internationally recognized and allow for a precise evaluation of a stone's quality.
We carefully select high-quality lab-grown diamonds that meet the standards of Fine Jewelry:
- Color: from D to H (white/colorless)
- Clarity: from IF (Internally Flawless) to SI1 (eye-clean)
The Maison also stands out for its expertise in Fancy Color lab-grown diamonds, offering rare and distinctive shades.
All our stones are available in sizes ranging from 0.70 carats to over 8 carats, with a wide selection of shapes, from the most classic to the most innovative.
