Lab Grown Diamonds
What is a lab grown diamond and is it real?
A lab grown diamond has the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as a natural diamond, but it's created in a lab using technology that replicates the conditions in which natural diamonds form. Lab grown diamonds are the real deal! Check out our lab grown vs natural diamond guide for everything you need to know to make an informed choice.
Are lab grown diamonds more sustainable and ethical compared to natural diamonds?
Absolutely! Explore our sustainability promise and find out why lab grown diamonds are a more sustainable and ethical choice compared to natural diamonds.
Can lab grown diamonds be GIA certified?
Yes, lab grown diamonds can be certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). However, GIA is predominantly used for mined diamonds. We use the International Gemological Institute (IGI), the world’s largest independent lab for diamond testing and grading, to certify all our diamonds. The IGI certifies more lab grown diamonds than any other institute, ensuring the highest standards for our gemstones.
Are lab grown diamonds made to last?
Yes! Lab grown diamonds are as durable as natural diamonds. Both score a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, thanks to their carbon structure. This means they’re built to last for generations. With proper care, your lab grown diamond will stay beautiful for a lifetime!
How do you care for a lab grown diamond?
Caring for a lab grown diamond is just like caring for any other diamond - keep it clean and keep it safe! Gently clean it with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. And when you’re not wearing it, store it in a soft pouch or box to protect it from scratches. Easy peasy!
Can I see an image of the diamond before I buy it?
We understand how important it is to feel confident in your purchase. We can provide detailed images of your diamond so you can see it up close before making your decision.
How do I find out my ring size or my partner’s ring size?
We’ve got you covered! Pop into our store to get measured, or if you’re on a stealth mission to surprise your partner, we can send you a handy printable ring size guide to measure one of their rings. Easy and sneaky!
Do you offer any complimentary aftercare?
Absolutely! Every ring purchase comes with a free resize, plus our Lifetime Manufacturer's Guarantee.
Should I insure my jewellery?
It’s always a good idea to insure your jewellery. That way, if anything unexpected happens, you’re covered. You never know when life will throw a curveball, but with insurance, your precious pieces are protected and you can wear them worry-free! Speak to your Faire & Fine consultant if you have any questions.
