How are lab grown diamonds different to traditionally mined diamonds?
Lab grown diamonds and traditionally mined diamonds are
identical, visually and molecularly.
Lab grown diamonds are just as
durable
as traditionally mined diamonds,
sitting at the top of the internationally recognised Mohs scale for gemstone hardness.
The main difference between lab grown diamonds and mined diamonds is the
environmental and
social impact of mining
versus a laboratory creation, not to mention, the price.
Lab grown diamonds means you can get
even more sparkle
for your ring.
