Lab-Grown Diamond Myths: The Truth Uncovered

Lab-grown diamonds have reshaped fine jewellery, offering exceptional beauty, ethical assurance, and remarkable value. Yet, misconceptions persist.

At True Brilliance, clarity isn’t just about the stone, it’s about the facts. Here, we separate myth from reality, so you can choose your diamond with full confidence.

Myth 1: Lab-Grown Diamonds Aren’t Real

They are. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically and structurally identical to mined diamonds. The only difference is origin, one is formed beneath the Earth’s surface, the other in a lab using cutting-edge technology. Even expert gemologists need specialised equipment to tell them apart.

Every diamond we offer is certified by independent bodies, including IGI and GIA, just like natural diamonds.

Myth 2: You Can Tell the Difference

You can’t. To the naked eye, lab-grown and mined diamonds are indistinguishable. The sparkle, brilliance, and fire are the same.

We only offer diamonds graded D–F colour and VS1 clarity and above, ensuring every stone looks exceptional.

Myth 3: Lab-Grown Diamonds Don’t Hold Value

All diamonds, natural or lab-grown. are emotional investments, not financial ones. Very few appreciate in value over time. Lab-grown diamonds simply offer greater initial value, letting you choose a larger carat, higher clarity, or more intricate setting without compromise.

It’s intelligent luxury, with integrity and transparency.

Myth 4: Lab-Grown Diamonds Aren’t Ethical or Sustainable

Quite the opposite. They are. Lab-grown diamonds eliminate the environmental impact and ethical concerns of mining. At True Brilliance, we ensure every stone is responsibly grown, certified, and traceable, from origin to final setting.

For many, this peace of mind is as valuable as the diamond itself.

Myth 5: Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Lower Quality

Not at all. Lab-grown diamonds can be even higher quality because conditions are precisely controlled. They are just as hard and durable (Mohs 10) and perfect for everyday wear.

At True Brilliance, we only offer stones in the top colour and clarity grades, matched by craftsmanship.

Final Thoughts

Lab-grown diamonds are not a compromise, they are a considered, modern choice. They deliver the same brilliance and durability as mined diamonds, with enhanced value, ethics, and transparency.

At True Brilliance, we specialise in lab-grown diamonds because luxury today demands intelligence and responsibility.
