Lab Grown vs. Diamond Simulants

It is important to note the major distinction between lab diamonds and diamond simulants. Diamond simulants, such as cubic zirconia and moissanite, look similar to diamonds but are not true carbon crystals. Simulants do not have the same chemical and physical properties as natural diamonds and therefore sell at much lower prices than man made diamonds. In diamond industry simulants can be distinguished from natural or lab grown diamonds using only the naked eye. Natural and lab grown diamonds have thermal conductivity properties that differentiate them from cubic zirconia with a handheld diamond tester. Some lab diamonds, along with some natural colored diamonds, may be mistakenly identified as moissanites when using certain diamond testers due to similarity in their electrical conductivity.

Lab Created vs. Natural Diamonds

Our lab grown diamonds or conflict free diamonds display the same physical, chemical, and optical characteristics as natural diamonds, and exhibit the same fire, scintillation, and sparkle. Using a jewelry loupe, man made diamonds are impossible to differentiate from natural diamonds created during billions of years. Lab created diamonds or clarity enhanced diamonds may exhibit different trace elements than natural diamonds that do not affect the appearance of the diamond. Lab grown diamonds can be distinguished from natural diamonds only with tests using specialized equipment. Concerning enhanced diamonds for sale. Lab made diamonds made by diamond producers for lab grown diamond rings in Canada available for purchase should always come with a gem certification identifying them as laboratory grown.

Lab Grown Diamonds in Canada: What You Really Need to Know in 2025

Lab grown diamonds are rapidly becoming the preferred choice for Canadians seeking ethical, high-quality, and affordable alternatives to mined diamonds. In 2025, more couples are turning to lab created diamonds for engagement rings, earrings, and everyday jewelry — and for good reason.

What Are Lab Grown Diamonds?

Lab grown diamonds, also known as man-made or synthetic diamonds, are real diamonds. They are created in laboratories using High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) methods, replicating the natural conditions in which mined diamonds form.

They are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds:

  • Hardness: 10 on the Mohs scale (same as mined diamonds)
  • Brilliance: Identical sparkle and clarity
  • Composition: Pure carbon crystal structure

Every lab diamond we offer is certified by GIA or IGI, ensuring authenticity and quality.

Why Canadians Are Choosing Lab Grown Diamonds

1. Exceptional Value

Lab created diamonds cost 60–90% less than mined diamonds. That means more carats, better color, and higher clarity — without blowing your budget. For example, a 1.5 carat lab diamond may cost less than a 0.75 carat natural one.

2. Environmentally Friendly

Lab grown diamonds don't require mining, making them a more sustainable and eco-conscious choice. Choosing lab diamonds helps reduce land disturbance and carbon emissions.

FAQs About Lab Created Diamonds

Are lab grown diamonds real?

Yes. Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds — identical in every way to mined ones, except for their origin.

How are lab diamonds made?

Two advanced techniques:

  • HPHT: Simulates high pressure and temperature conditions of the Earth's mantle
  • CVD: Builds the diamond layer by layer using carbon-rich gas

Both produce genuine, certified diamonds.
