Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about choosing the perfect diamond.

Are Lab-Grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds have the same fundamental crystal structure and chemical composition as natural diamonds. They are created in controlled laboratory conditions rather than formed naturally underground. Lab-grown diamonds can also be graded by recognised gemological laboratories such as IGI and GIA.

Cut is the most important of the 4Cs because it has the greatest impact on a diamond’s brilliance and sparkle.
A well-cut diamond can look more beautiful even with slightly lower color or clarity grades.

An 'eye-clean' diamond means that no inclusions or blemishes are visible to the naked eye without magnification. VS2, SI1, and sometimes SI2 diamonds can be perfectly eye-clean, offering substantial value.

Certification is available for selected lab-grown diamonds where applicable. Please contact our team if certification is important for your order so we can confirm the available stone and grading report before production.
