Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Rings

What Is a Lab-Grown Diamond?

A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond created in a controlled environment using advanced technology that reproduces the conditions in which natural diamonds develop. It has the same chemical composition, optical properties, brilliance and durability as a natural diamond. It is not a diamond imitation.

The principal difference lies in its origin. While a natural diamond forms within the Earth over billions of years, a lab-grown diamond is created above ground within a much shorter period of time. Specialised equipment is required to distinguish one from the other reliably.

Why Choose a Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Ring?

Lab-grown diamonds generally offer a lower price than natural diamonds with comparable characteristics. This makes it possible to select a larger centre stone or higher colour and clarity grades while remaining within the same budget.

The right diamond is not simply the one with the highest grades. Its proportions, cut quality and overall appearance determine how beautiful it will look once set into a ring. Our experts carefully select each lab-grown diamond for its brilliance and beauty and help you compare the options clearly and without pressure.

Lab-grown diamonds are available in the same shapes as natural diamonds, including round, oval, pear, emerald, cushion, radiant and marquise.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Rings

Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?

Yes. A lab-grown diamond has the same chemical, physical and optical properties as a natural diamond. It should not be confused with diamond alternatives such as cubic zirconia or moissanite.

Can you see the difference between a natural and a lab-grown diamond?

The difference cannot normally be identified with the naked eye. Specialised gemmological equipment is required to determine whether a diamond is natural or lab-grown.

Are Beldiamond’s lab-grown diamonds certified?

Our lab-grown centre diamonds are accompanied by a certificate IGI from a recognised independent gemmological laboratory detailing their principal characteristics.

Can I personalise my lab-grown diamond engagement ring?

Yes. You can choose the diamond, setting, 18K gold or platinum, ring size and engraving, or ask us to create a fully tailor-made design.
