      Lab-Grown or Natural Diamonds: How They Compare

      Choosing a diamond is a personal decision. Natural and lab-grown diamond jewellery share essentially the same chemical composition and crystal structure, and both offer beautiful brilliance. Their main difference is how they form.

      • Natural diamonds formed deep within the Earth billions of years ago. Their rarity, natural origin and individual characteristics influence their desirability and price.
      • Lab-grown diamonds are created in laboratories using advanced technology, and are typically more affordable for comparable grading characteristics.

      Natural diamonds may appeal to those who value geological history and rarity, while lab-grown diamonds can offer greater size or design flexibility within a budget. At Leskes Jewellers we work with both, as outlined on our diamonds page, and because prices and resale outcomes can differ, it is worth considering your priorities beyond appearance alone.

      Reading the 4Cs Before You Buy

      The 4Cs are cut, colour, clarity and carat weight, the main characteristics used to assess a diamond’s quality.

      • Cut is how well a diamond’s facets interact with light. Cut grade matters most for round brilliant diamonds, while fancy shapes are assessed differently.
      • Colour grading for white diamonds runs from D (colourless) to Z, with increasing yellow or brown tint. Fancy-coloured diamonds, such as pinks, are judged on colour intensity instead.
      • Clarity describes internal inclusions and external blemishes, many of which are invisible without magnification.
      • Carat weight is a measure of weight, not size. One carat equals 200 milligrams.

      The best diamond is not necessarily the one with the highest grade in every category, and our guide on how to choose a diamond explains how to balance them for your budget.

      FAQs

      Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

      Yes, lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, with essentially the same chemical composition, crystal structure and optical properties as natural diamonds. The key difference is origin, and lab-grown diamonds are generally more affordable than natural diamonds of comparable characteristics.

      How do I know if my diamond is certified?

      A diamond grading report from a recognised laboratory, such as the GIA or IGI, documents the 4Cs and identifying details, often with a laser-inscribed report number. You can check that number through the laboratory’s verification service, but a grading report is not the same as a valuation or insurance appraisal.

      What makes Argyle pink diamonds so rare?

      Argyle pink diamonds came from the Argyle mine in Western Australia’s East Kimberley region, which produced most of the world’s pink diamonds before it closed in November 2020. With no new supply, their limited numbers, distinctive hues and Australian heritage make existing stones highly sought after.

      Can diamonds chip or break?

      Yes. Diamonds are the hardest natural material, but hardness describes resistance to scratching, not chipping, and a diamond can chip if struck at certain angles, especially at edges or points. Protective settings and regular checks help, so remove diamond jewellery for the gym or heavy manual work.

      How do I clean diamond jewellery at home?

      Soak diamond jewellery briefly in warm water with a few drops of mild dishwashing liquid, then brush gently around the stone and setting, where oils and lotions build up and dull the sparkle. Rinse over a bowl rather than an open drain, and avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
