Also referred to as synthetic or artificial diamonds, laboratory grown diamonds have the same chemical composition, crystal structure and optical properties as a mined naturally formed diamond.

Lab grown diamonds are NOT diamond simulants, which are products that imitate the appearance of diamonds without a similar chemical composition.

Lab diamonds look and feel like mined diamonds and just like mined diamonds they vary in colour, clarity and weight

Lab diamonds represent a more sustainable and environmentally ethical choice

Pobjoy lab diamonds are all certified by the IGI, GIA or GCAL in exactly the same way as natural mined diamonds

Lab diamond production involves high cost sophisticated equipment and highly skilled specialists

Each IGI, GIA and GCAL certified lab grown diamond includes the certificate number nano inscribed on the girdle of the diamond

Because they are of the same composition as naturally mined diamonds, they pass the same industry standard thermal and electrical testing techniques

Lab diamonds are significantly less expensive than mined diamonds especially in the case of higher grade larger carat weights

Although the choice of high quality lab diamonds is limited it is steadily increasing
