Question 1

What are lab-grown diamonds?

Accepted Answer

Lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds grown in controlled laboratory environments using advanced technological processes like Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT). They share the exact same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined earth diamonds.

Question 2

How can you tell the difference between a lab-grown diamond and a mined diamond?

Accepted Answer

You cannot tell the difference with the naked eye, a jeweler's loupe, or traditional diamond testers because they are chemically identical. Only specialized gemological laboratory equipment can differentiate between the growth patterns of lab-grown and mined diamonds.

Question 3

Are lab-grown diamonds eco-friendly and ethical?

Accepted Answer

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are inherently conflict-free and environmentally sustainable. Because they are cultivated in a lab rather than mined from the earth, they require no destructive mining, cause zero soil erosion, and eliminate the human rights abuses historically associated with diamond mining.

Question 4

Are lab-grown diamond rings suitable for everyday wear?

Accepted Answer

Yes, lab-grown diamond rings are perfect for daily wear. Like mined diamonds, lab-grown diamonds score a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, making them the hardest gemstone available and highly resistant to scratching or chipping.

Question 5

Can Aurima Jewellers lab-grown diamond rings be resized?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most lab-grown diamond rings from Aurima Jewellers can be easily resized by a professional jeweler. Rings set in precious metals like 14K or 18K solid gold or platinum can typically be resized up or down by two sizes without compromising the setting.

Question 6

Do lab-grown diamond pendants lose their sparkle over time?

Accepted Answer

No, lab-grown diamond pendants never lose their brilliance, cloud, or discolor over time. Because their crystal structure is identical to mined carbon diamonds, their optical sparkle is permanent and will last forever with standard jewelry cleaning.

Question 7

What is the best chain length for a diamond pendant necklace?

Accepted Answer

An 18-inch (45 cm) chain is the universal standard and sits perfectly on the collarbone for most women. For a choker style that sits higher on the neck, a 16-inch chain is ideal, while a 20-inch chain offers a longer, more relaxed drape over clothing.

Question 8

Are lab-grown diamond earrings safe for sensitive ears?

Accepted Answer

Yes, lab-grown diamond earrings from Aurima Jewellers are completely hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive ears when set in high-quality metals. We recommend choosing settings crafted from 14K/18K solid gold or platinum, which do not trigger nickel allergies or skin irritation.

Question 9

How do I clean and care for my lab-grown diamond earrings?

Accepted Answer

Clean your lab-grown diamond earrings by soaking them in warm water mixed with a few drops of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes. Gently brush around the diamond setting using a soft-bristled baby toothbrush, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry with a lint-free microfiber cloth.

Question 10

Do Aurima Jewellers' lab-grown diamonds come with certification?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every certified lab-grown diamond from Aurima Jewellers is independently graded and authenticated by leading international gemological institutes such as the International Gemological Institute (IGI) or the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Your jewelry arrives with an official grading report detailing its 4Cs (Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat).
