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 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.
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.

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.
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.
Our lab diamonds are conflict-free and available for customers across Canada — from Vancouver to Toronto and beyond. We offer:
Lab diamond engagement rings
Earrings, studs, tennis bracelets, and necklaces
Custom lab grown diamond jewelry with Canadian support
Yes. Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds — identical in every way to mined ones, except for their origin.
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.
When shopping, consider:
Color: D (colorless) to J (near colorless)
Clarity: From SI2 (slightly included) to FL (flawless)
Certification: Always choose diamonds certified by IGI or GIA for assurance

Lab grown diamonds cost less. While cost of producing lab grown diamonds of similar nature can also reduce supply chain. Since lab grown diamonds skip the mining process they have less contact and therefore are cheaper.
Jewellers can tell which diamonds were grown from different tests in the gemology industry. They can also use specialized equipment. A number of jewellers also partner or collaborate with accredited diamond grading laboratories that provide documentation including grades to verify the origin of the diamonds.
Yes, laboratory grown diamonds have the same physical properties and crystal structure as a natural diamond. Lab diamond is no physical difference between diamonds and their natural counterparts.
A lab grown diamond ring costs significantly less than a mined diamond, making it possible to afford a bigger and higher-quality stone for your budget. The same advantage applies to lab grown diamond earrings in Canada, which have become a popular choice for those seeking exceptional brilliance, ethical sourcing, and better value. These diamonds are not only affordable but also eco-friendly, offering the same beauty and durability as mined diamonds.
Lab grown diamond is as real as mined diamonds. Lab grown diamonds have all the same characteristics as earth mined diamond in every way except it’s grown in laboratories. They have the same physical properties, including chemical and optical properties as mined diamonds.
Yes, lab created diamonds are real man made diamonds with the same physical properties as natural diamonds. Lab grown diamonds are not different from natural diamonds and cannot tell man made diamonds unless they use laboratory equipment.
