Lab Grown Diamonds are diamonds that are created in a laboratory setting rather than being mined from the Earth’s crust. These laboratories mimic the conditions under which diamonds naturally develop under the earth over millions of years. They are physically, chemically and optically the same as natural diamonds. Even jewellers and gemologists cannot tell the difference between lab grown and natural diamonds.

Lab-grown diamonds are truly diamonds. Even though they're made in labs using special machines, they have the exact same look and feel as diamonds that come from the Earth.

What makes a diamond a diamond isn't where it comes from, but what it's made of. Both lab-grown and natural diamonds are made of the same carbon atoms arranged in the same way. That's why lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds.

Lab-grown diamonds are a good buy because they are real diamonds and will last just as long as natural ones. Just like you can sell back natural diamonds to jewelers, Suez Diamonds will also buy back lab-grown diamonds from you. Suez Diamonds offers to buy them back for 80% of what you paid.

If you just look at them, lab-grown and natural diamonds are identical. Even experienced jewelers and diamond experts can't tell them apart with just their eyes or standard microscopes. You need special, high-tech equipment in a gem lab to be able to identify a lab-grown diamond.

Yes. Lab Grown Diamonds tend to retail at a 60-90% discount on equivalent quality of natural diamonds. Lab Grown Diamonds are priced based on cut, colour, clarity and carat – just like natural diamonds.

Lab created diamonds are graded the same way as mined diamonds. They are certified by all the leading gemological labs such as IGI, GIA, SGL, EGL. All the Lab Grown Diamonds used by Suez Diamonds are graded and certified by renowned third party organisations.

Lab Grown Diamonds are not synthetic diamonds or Cubic Zirconia or Moissanite. CZ or Moissanite are diamond simulants and not diamonds. Lab Grown Diamonds on the other hand are real diamonds.

Diamonds are the hardest material on earth. They rank at 10 on Mohs Scale of hardness. Lab Grown Diamonds as well as natural diamonds have this same rank of 10, which means they’re extremely durable. Lab Grown Diamonds match their mined counterparts in hardness, strength and durability! Take comfort knowing Lab Grown Diamonds are strong enough to hand down to the next generation.

No. Lab Grown Diamonds do not fade, discolour or cloud over time. Their beauty is timeless.

No. A lot of people think that machines can be programmed to create a specific diamond grade and carat size but that’s really not possible. Machines simply put the right conditions together but then nature takes it from there. Just like with mined diamonds, there will be variances in colour, clarity and carat size in every piece.

Yes, Lab Grown Diamonds are also characterised based on the 4Cs – Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat – just like natural diamonds.
