Difference Between HauteCarat Lab-Created Diamonds and Mined Diamonds

For many of us, diamonds are a symbol of love and commitment, but it can be hard to tell the difference between a lab-created diamond and a mined diamond. Here, HauteCarat, an ethical diamond jewelry brand, guides you through the differences between these two types of diamonds.

What are Lab-Created Diamonds? 

Lab-created diamonds are real diamonds that have been grown in a laboratory. Both lab-created and mined diamonds boast the same physical, chemical, and optical qualities, as well as the same level of beauty and sparkle. Lab-created diamonds are also known as man-made diamonds or cultured diamonds.

Advantages of Lab-Created Diamonds 

Lab-created diamonds offer several advantages when compared to mined diamonds:

-They are more affordable: Lab-created diamonds cost up to 40% less than mined diamonds of the same size and quality.

-They are more ethical: Lab-created diamonds are conflict-free and do not require the use of heavy machinery or labor to extract them from the ground.

-They are more sustainable: Lab-created diamonds are produced in an environmentally-friendly way, with no toxic by-products or waste.

How to Tell the Difference Between Lab-Created and Mined Diamonds 

The best way to tell the difference between lab-created diamonds and mined diamonds is by using a gemological microscope. This is a powerful magnifying device that allows a gemmologist to analyze the structure and properties of a diamond.

At HauteCarat, we use the latest gemological microscopes to ensure that all our diamonds are authentic and of the highest quality. HauteCarat lab-created diamonds also come with an IGI certificate, providing you with the ultimate peace of mind. This IGI certificate is proof of our commitment to quality and allows you to evaluate the specific details of your diamond, providing a comprehensive assurance that it’s high-quality and authentic. The diamond’s weight, measurements, color, shape, cut, quality, and more are all verified, so you can enjoy your diamond confidently.

Identifying Lab-Created Diamonds by Sight 

It can be difficult to tell the difference between lab-created and mined diamonds with the naked eye. However, here are a few tips to help you identify lab-created diamonds:

-Check the size: Lab-created diamonds tend to be larger than mined diamonds of the same quality, as they are more affordable.

-Check the color: Lab-created diamonds tend to have a slightly different color than mined diamonds.

-Look for imperfections: Lab-created diamonds tend to have fewer inclusions and imperfections than mined diamonds.
