Everything you need to know about lab-grown diamonds — quality, value, care, and more.
Yes! Lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds with the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. They are made of pure carbon and are identical to earth-mined diamonds in every measurable way.
Yes, lab-grown diamonds do have resale value, though it may be lower than mined diamonds. At VD Jewellery, we offer buyback and exchange options so you can always upgrade your jewellery with confidence.
Yes, certified lab-grown diamonds are accepted by many jewellers. With a proper certificate (IGI, GIA, or SGL), your diamond's value is clearly documented and recognised.
No. Lab-grown diamonds remain crystal clear and brilliant forever — just like natural diamonds. They do not cloud, fog, or lose their sparkle over time.
Yes! Lab-grown diamonds typically cost 70–90% less than mined diamonds of the same size and quality. This means you get a larger, more beautiful stone for the same budget.
No. Certified lab-grown diamonds retain their colour and brilliance permanently. You will never notice any colour change or fading over years of wearing.
Lab-grown diamonds offer the same brilliance, hardness (10 on Mohs scale), and beauty as natural diamonds — but at a fraction of the cost. They are eco-friendly, ethically sourced, and produced using advanced technology without any mining impact.
The future is incredibly bright! Global demand for lab-grown diamonds is rising rapidly. As technology improves, these diamonds are becoming more accessible while maintaining their quality and beauty.
Yes! Because lab-grown diamonds have the exact same carbon structure as mined diamonds, they pass standard diamond testers. Advanced gemological equipment is needed to distinguish between the two.
Absolutely. You get the same sparkle, durability, and beauty as a mined diamond — but at a much more affordable price. It is a smart, sustainable, and stylish choice.
Yes! Many affluent buyers and celebrities globally now choose lab-grown diamonds for their ethical sourcing, modern appeal, and stunning quality.

Yes! Many global and Indian celebrities now choose lab-grown diamonds for their sustainability, ethical sourcing, and dazzling shine.
Not at all. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds (pure carbon). Cubic zirconia is a completely different material — an imitation stone with different properties.
Only with specialised equipment. The naked eye cannot distinguish between lab-grown and natural diamonds. Expert gemologists use advanced tools like spectroscopy to determine origin.
Yes, leading luxury brands including Cartier have introduced lab-grown diamond collections, reflecting the global shift toward sustainable fine jewellery.
Expert jewellers use advanced tools like spectroscopy, laser inscription checks, and specialised testers to identify whether a diamond is lab-grown or natural. Visually, they are identical.
A 5-carat lab-grown diamond is a substantial, luxurious stone. Its value varies widely based on cut, clarity, and colour. While it represents a significant investment, it remains far more cost-effective than a natural diamond of the same size and quality.
Lab-grown diamonds are created using two advanced technologies: HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) and CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition). Both methods replicate the natural diamond-formation process under controlled conditions.
Yes, Tanishq has started offering lab-grown diamond collections, joining many other leading jewellery brands in embracing this sustainable and affordable alternative.
Red diamonds are the rarest naturally occurring diamonds. Labs can also create fancy-coloured lab-grown diamonds in rare hues like red, pink, blue, and green.
Absolutely! Lab-grown diamonds last forever — they have the same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale) and durability as natural diamonds. They will not scratch, chip, or degrade over time.
Yes! Precision-cut lab-grown diamonds sparkle identically to natural diamonds. The brilliance, fire, and scintillation are exactly the same.
Fancy vivid colours — especially pink, blue, and yellow — are the most valuable. These stunning colours are available in lab-grown diamonds at a fraction of the cost of natural fancy-coloured stones.
Lab-grown diamonds are cut using advanced laser technology and precision tools by expert craftsmen. Every facet is carefully shaped to ensure perfect symmetry and maximum brilliance.
A 1-carat lab-grown diamond typically costs between ₹20,000–₹30,000 in India, depending on cut, colour, and clarity — compared to ₹2,00,000+ for a comparable natural diamond.
Lab-grown diamonds last forever. They have the same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale) as natural diamonds and will never fade, scratch, or lose their brilliance over time.
A 1.5-carat lab-grown diamond is a popular choice for its balance of size and affordability. Its price varies based on cut, clarity, and colour, but it remains far more accessible than a natural diamond of the same specifications.
A 4-carat lab-grown diamond ring falls within a higher price range depending on stone quality and ring design, but it is still significantly more affordable than a natural 4-carat diamond ring.
Lab-grown diamonds are not scarce since they can be produced in controlled environments. However, large-carat, high-quality stones with perfect cuts are still less commonly available.
