Natural Diamond vs. Lab Grown Diamonds
We Got Both!
Natural diamonds vs. Lab Grown Diamonds. We got them both.
So what's the difference?
The differences between Natural Diamonds and Lab Grown Diamonds cannot be seen with the naked eye. If we get technical, natural diamonds have nitrogen in them, while lab grown diamonds do not.
Natural diamonds are created under the earth’s crust over millions of years with high pressure and temperature. On the other hand, the same amount of high pressure and high temperature is used to grow diamonds in a laboratory.
Both are cut the same way, graded the same way and even look the same. What you got to decide is, do you want a piece of nature that took a million years to develop or are you alright with something that took a few weeks to grow.
Deciding Factors- What’s right for you?
Pros / Cons

3. Over the years you own a natural diamond it will appreciate.
4. Some people look at owning a natural diamond as wearing a real Rolex or a real Loui Vuitton handbag vs. a fake.
Lab Grown:

2. Because of reason number one you have to decide if it will be appreciated when you want to pass it down to your kids or grandkids.
3. The cost of lab grown diamonds is considerably lower then natural diamonds. They are more affordable and will give you the glamorous look you have always dreamed of.
4. A positive way to look at lab grown diamonds is not that you are wearing a fake, however it’s a plant that was grown in your home rather then naturally grown in nature.
