Lab-grown diamonds are composed of the same chemical structure and are physically identical to natural diamonds. Both our Natural and Lab-Grown diamonds are selectively sourced and certified. Lab-grown diamonds cost less and are a responsible choice as they do not require any diamond mining. Naturally-mined Diamonds are classically considered a better store of value.

Carat weight is simply a measure of a diamond's size. One carat is equivalent to 200 milligrams. Larger diamonds are generally more valuable, but carat weight alone does not determine a diamond's worth. The other 3Cs (colour, clarity, and cut) also play a significant role in determining a diamond's value. Most of our customers order engagement rings between 1 and 3 carats of diamonds.

When it comes to diamonds, colour refers to the presence of any tint in the stone. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades diamond colour on a scale from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown). The closer a diamond is to colourless, the more valuable it is considered to be. Even the slightest variation in colour can significantly impact a diamond's price. We recommend D, E and F for that colourless appearance.

Clarity measures the presence of any internal or external flaws, known as inclusions and blemishes, respectively. The GIA grades diamond clarity on a scale ranging from Flawless (no inclusions or blemishes visible under 10x magnification) to Included (inclusions and/or blemishes visible to the naked eye). Diamonds with higher clarity grades are rarer and more valuable.

The cut of a diamond refers to how well it has been shaped and faceted. It is often considered the most crucial factor in determining a diamond's beauty. A well-cut diamond reflects light in a way that maximizes its brilliance and sparkle. The GIA grades diamond cut on a scale from Excellent to Poor. Diamonds with excellent cut grades are highly prized for their exceptional brilliance.
