Are you looking for the best Diamond Jewellery ?

If you’ve been looking around at Diamonds and Diamond Engagement Rings you may have heard the term Lab Created Diamond. These Eco friendly, conflict free natural Diamond alternatives are on the rise. The great thing about these particular Diamonds are the fact that they are ethically sourced due to being lab grown and not mined. The environmental impact or lack there of with these Diamonds is a huge plus, however you also can’t deny the other two factors which make them so appealing when comparing what’s available. 

They are essentially Diamonds. They are formed the same way…under intense pressure consisting of the same carbon atoms and are engineered in the same characteristic diamond crystal structure. So with a little short cut of about a billion years or so we can achieve the exact same look and feel as the natural Diamond. They are a 10 on the Moh’s scale of hardness – the same as a natural Diamond and they also have the same dispersion of light meaning they exhibit the same sparkle and shine. 

When considering the huge social impact and environmental footprint mining can have, lab created Diamonds are an ethical choice and often the only choice for conscientious couples. 

More and more couples around the world are turning to lab created Diamonds for their conflict free origins and eco friendly production, but also for the price tag. Lab created Diamonds Australia, USA and Europe have grown hugely popular in recent years. Lab Created Diamonds are significantly less expensive than natural Diamonds of the same grades and can save buyers sometimes up to 70%. Considering for the same approximate price buyers may be able to get a larger and higher graded Diamond, the choice comes down often to personal preference. 

They do demand a different price depending on where in the world you are purchasing. It’s always a good rule of thumb to consider shipping, customs and GST charges when shopping as sometimes purchasing locally can end up costing less than importing. 

Another thing to consider is the supplier or retailer and if you are looking to purchase a loose Diamond or have it set in Jewellery. As lab created Diamonds are often at a better price point some couples can afford to upgrade the setting or choose a set of bands to compliment their Engagement Ring. Talking to a Jeweller who can give you all the options is a must, especially with such a significant purchase and even though lab created Diamonds are less expensive it is still an important purchase. 

Often when looking at Diamond Jewellery, lab created Diamonds can be a great alternative especially in large heavy set items like the Eternity Ring or the Tennis Bracelet. As buying multiple Diamonds usually in the same grades to match can be costly, the lab created Diamond alternative can be a great way to still maintain the same look and reduce the price at the same time, even allowing for sometimes larger stones in the same price range.
