Lab-grown or "artisanal" diamonds are created in labs and can be just as beautiful as the earth mined diamond. They have the same chemical composition, physical properties, and optical properties as earth-mined diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds are a great choice for someone who is looking to purchase environmentally friendly or ethically responsible jewelry but doesn't want to pay a premium over the cost of mined diamond jewelry.

At st cloud jewelers, we believe that lab-grown diamonds are the best choice for our customers. Our skilled team of diamond experts has years of experience working with both natural and lab-grown diamonds, so you can be sure that we will help you select the perfect stone for your needs.

The question of whether lab-grown diamonds are real or not can be a bit controversial. On the one hand, these diamonds are chemically and physically indistinguishable from traditionally mined diamonds and are often priced similarly as well. Many consumers love the affordability and ethical appeal of lab-grown diamonds, seeing them as a more sustainable option than their mined counterparts.
