The Most Gorgeous Lab Grown Diamonds in Australia

Diamonds have been a girls best friend for decades and they have been the number one choice for Engagement Rings for even longer. However many young couples have been searching for Diamond alternatives for a more ethically and environmentally conscious choice. 

Lab Grown Diamonds have come a long way in recent years due to better manufacturing and cutting technologies. 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. 

The other great feature of these Diamond alternatives is the fact that they are Lab Grown meaning they are created and not mined making them 100% ethically sourced. When considering the huge social impact and environmental footprint mining can have, lab grown Diamonds are an ethical choice and often the only choice for conscientious couples. 

More and more couples around the world are turning to lab grown Diamonds for their conflict free origins and eco friendly production, but also for the price tag. Whether you’re looking for Lab Grown Diamonds Australia, New Zealand, London or New York the price compared with natural Diamonds is significantly better. Lab Grown 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 grown 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 grown 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.
