Lab-grown diamonds
In recent years, the market for synthetic diamonds has begun to grow significantly, not least in the US, where the market is currently at its largest. Synthetic diamonds are also called lab-grown diamonds or lab-grown diamonds and are really exactly what it sounds, diamonds that have been artificially produced. Lab-grown diamonds are neither chemically nor physically different from natural diamonds, namely, they are the same crystallized carbon in both minerals. Producing synthetic diamonds is a relatively old technique, but it has previously only been possible to produce smaller crystals where the benefit has only come in handy in industry. In recent years, however, the technology has been refined to the point that it is now possible to control the process and thus obtain larger and cleaner crystals. The result of these successes has made it now a popular choice in the jewelry industry. At present, there are two varieties of lab-grown diamonds, first up we have HpHt which stands for high pressure high temperature or CVD which is an abbreviation of Chemical Vapor Deposition. The abbreviation of the two different diamonds describes the technique used to produce the diamond. One of the advantages of lab-grown diamonds is that they cost less and that in many cases it is also an ethically better and more environmentally friendly product.

Questions & answers about lab-grown diamonds
No, you can't tell the difference in quality or visually. It is important to remember that a synthetic diamond is still a diamond.
Natural diamonds are still considered to be more exclusive due to the fact that they are more rare and that accessibility is becoming increasingly difficult as these finds are often difficult to access, which contributes to the fact that the production is more expensive. The aforementioned factors drive the price upwards and cause natural diamonds to rise in price over time and retain their value in the future. Lab-grown diamonds are more not as stable in their value, which means that over time they may fall in price.
The issue is complex and several things should be taken into account when thinking about buying a diamond. Let's explain a little more about potential value losses.
Example 1 - when the customer buys a natural diamond
The customer buys a natural diamond of 1ct for SEK 95,000. 8 years later, the customer sells the diamond at auction and a diamond sold on the secondary market is often sold for about 60 percent below market value. In other words, the customer will get back around SEK 57,000, which means a loss of SEK 38,000.
Example 2 - when the customer buys an equivalent, lab-grown diamond
The customer buys a lab-grown diamond of 1ct for SEK 16,500. The customer wants to sell the diamond 8 years later and then chooses to sell it at auction. She gets pretty much nothing for the diamond but only for the gold in the ring. There will thus be a total depreciation of 100 percent, which means a loss of SEK 16,500.
When you look at the big picture, many realize that the customer who bought the lab-grown diamond loses less in the long run because they spent less money on the diamond in the first place. At the same time, they enjoyed the same beauty and durability of their ring. This equation is relevant for many sizes, but when the diamond grows too large, we believe that other things should be taken into account. For a more implemented explanation, you are warmly welcome to contact us, we are experts in diamonds.
Natural diamonds are still associated today with conflicts, child labour and environmental degradation. It is improper marketing as the diamonds industry has evolved and changed and is today controlled and well managed. Many countries and their economies depend on the continuation of natural diamond trading, however, many customers feel a continued uncertainty towards natural diamonds. An excellent alternative is then a lab-grown, synthetic diamond, where you can rule out these uncertainties if you feel safe. The companies that market these diamonds also stress that the energy used for production is green electricity and thus produced in an energy-efficient way with minimal impact on the environment.
Yes, of course, our price guarantee is also included for lab-grown diamonds. We want to be your supplier of diamonds and also in this area we sit on some of the world's largest databases for lab-grown diamonds.
The market-leading certificate for natural diamonds is GIA certificate, due to the fact that they are considered to be of the highest and most reliable quality. The GIA certificate has become a guarantee to customers that their diamond is of a certain quality.
When it comes to lab-grown diamonds, the certificates are not as thorough. Since the price of the stones is low, many manufacturers focus on certifying their diamonds with IGI certificates, which are a cheaper alternative to GIA. A certification affects the price of the diamond and since GIA certificates have a higher price, in some cases they can be more expensive than the diamond itself. Therefore, many suppliers choose to settle for IGI as a quality guarantee.
No matter which diamond you buy, all diamonds are checked by our own diamond grader, which ensures that all diamonds are of the right quality regardless of where the certificate is chartered.
