There's a new diamond on the market: Lab grown.

Lab grown diamonds are 20 to 40 percent less expensive than a natural diamond. Plus, they look identical to their earth-mined counterparts and have the same chemical and physical properties as a mined diamond.

Earth-mined and man-made diamonds are almost indistinguishable, and are made of pure carbon. The difference lies in the scientific process in which they are created.

Natural diamonds are formed beneath the earth’s crust resulting from extreme pressure over millions of years.

Lab created diamonds start with a small diamond seed placed in a sophisticated pressure chamber containing carbon. By recreating the intense heat and pressure of the earth’s crust, the diamond grows layer by layer. Approximately 10 to 12 weeks later a diamond is formed.

Whether you’re thinking about popping the question with a beautiful lab-grown engagement ring, or are looking to add sparkle to your wardrobe with a pair of lab-grown diamond studs, turn to the experts at Lambert Jewelers.
