Why Are They Called Laboratory Grown Diamonds?
Laboratory grown diamonds is the name used to describe diamonds that do not originate from the earth. Alternative terms meaning the same thing include man-made diamonds, synthetic diamonds, simulated diamonds, lab grown, and lab created diamonds. Swarovski Created Diamonds refers to our fine jewelry collections featuring high quality laboratory grown diamonds.
How to Distinguish Laboratory Grown Diamonds from Mined Diamonds
It’s impossible to differentiate between a laboratory grown diamond and a mined diamond with the naked eye. With professional tools, laboratory grown diamonds can be identified through laser inscriptions on the girdle, distinct fluorescent patterns shown under UV light, and unique microscopic inclusions that occur in the growing process.
Are Laboratory Grown Diamonds Better than Mined Diamonds?
The choice between laboratory grown diamonds and mined diamonds comes down to personal preference. In terms of their chemical composition, laboratory grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. The universally recognized 4Cs grading system applies to both types of diamond, so buyers can choose a stone that reflects their desired cut, color, clarity, and carat weight regardless of whether it was formed in the earth or in a laboratory.
What Is the Difference in Price Between Laboratory Grown and Mined Diamonds?
Efficient production processes mean that laboratory grown diamonds can be a more affordable option than mined diamonds. Our Founder, Daniel Swarovski, was passionate about making luxury accessible to all and laboratory grown diamonds honor this mission, offering stones of exceptional quality at tailored price points that cannot be replicated in the traditional diamond market.
Why Are Laboratory Grown Diamonds More Affordable?
There are several reasons why high-quality laboratory grown diamonds with a substantial carat weight can be purchased at more affordable prices than their mined counterparts. Streamlined production processes in the lab have lowered costs and new entrants to the markets have also ensured that laboratory grown diamonds stay competitively priced.
Swarovski Crystal vs Swarovski Created Diamonds
The creation of both Swarovski Crystals and the laboratory grown diamonds featured in our Swarovski Created Diamonds collections is a testament to the House’s innovative spirit and savoir-faire. Both are produced using the highest quality components; Swarovski Crystals use a formula that is Daniel Swarovski’s legacy while Swarovski Created Diamonds are formed from a tiny carbon seed in laboratory conditions using intense heat and pressure.
Moissanites vs Laboratory Grown Diamonds
Moissanites are a type of gemstone that shares similar qualities to diamonds. The first moissanites derived from meteorites but today, they are made from silicon carbide and crafted in labs. While laboratory grown diamonds are 100% identical to mined diamonds in every way but origin, moissanites resemble diamonds but display several differences in both composition and appearance. Moissanites have their own beauty, but their durability, brilliance, and color are distinct to diamonds. Laboratory grown diamonds are also graded using the 4Cs of diamond quality, while only color is considered in moissanites.

IGI CERTIFIED
Laboratory Grown Diamond Certification
Every laboratory grown diamond featured in the Swarovski Created Diamonds collections has been reviewed by the IGI (International Gemological Institute) to confirm the quality of each stone according to the 4Cs of diamond assessment. Only the finest laboratory grown diamonds are selected.
As proof of origin, every laboratory grown diamond that is 0.25ct or larger carries a laser engraving visible only under strong magnification.
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
What are laboratory grown diamonds?
Laboratory grown diamonds are 100% identical to mined diamonds. They are just grown from a ‘seed’ in a laboratory, building layer upon layer using HPHT (high pressure high temperature) or CVD (chemical vapor deposition) to replicate the natural process over several days or weeks, rather than in the earth over millions of years. Aside from their origin, they are exactly the same.
Are laboratory grown diamonds less expensive than mined diamonds?
Laboratory grown diamonds offer the freedom to explore more breadth of jewelry in terms of sizes, shapes and settings than ever before, more easily. Swarovski is proud to offer modern, inspired designs with premium quality diamonds, meaning you get larger and higher quality stones tailored to every price point.
How are laboratory grown diamonds made?
Laboratory grown diamonds are made using an innovative process that flawlessly replicates nature, resulting in a laboratory grown diamond that is indistinguishable from a mined diamond in all chemical, physical, and optical attributes. There are two ways to replicate the diamond formation process: HPHT (high pressure high temperature) and CVD (chemical vapor deposition).
The technology is as brilliant as the laboratory grown diamonds themselves. In both cases, a tiny diamond seed is nurtured with carbon atoms under laboratory conditions of intense heat and pressure, forming layer by layer. Each laboratory grown diamond forms in its own way, with one-of-a-kind inclusions and unique growth patterns.

Are laboratory grown diamonds real diamonds? What is the difference between laboratory and mined?
네. 랩그로운 다이아몬드는 100% 다이아몬드입니다. 이 광석은 채굴 다이아몬드와 동일한 화학적 구성, 경도, 광도, 파이어를 지니고 있습니다. 둘 모두 100% 탄소로 이루어져 있습니다. 실험실에서 생산되었느냐, 아니면 땅속 깊은 곳에서 지구가 만들었느냐 하는 차이점만 있을 뿐이죠. 온실 속에서 키운 난초와 자연에서 자생한 난초가 동일한 것처럼 말이에요. 오직 그 기원만 다를 뿐이죠.
랩그로운 다이아몬드는 채굴 다이아몬드와 동일한가요?
랩그로운 다이아몬드는 채굴 다이아몬드와 100% 동일합니다. 광학적, 화학적, 물리적 측면에서 말이죠. 유일한 차이점이라면 지구의 깊은 땅속에서 온 것이냐, 아니면 실험실에서 온 것이냐 하는 기원만이 있습니다. 이 같은 차별성은 정교한 실험실의 장비를 통해서만 확인할 수 있습니다. 스와로브스키 인공 다이아몬드 주얼리로 완성된 랩그로운 다이아몬드는 0.25캐럿 이상의 모든 스톤에 레이저 각인을 하여 이를 식별할 수 있도록 했습니다.
주얼리 판매자가 랩그로운 다이아몬드를 구분할 수 있나요?
아니요. 주얼리 판매자는 랩그로운 다이아몬드와 채굴 다이아몬드를 육안으로, 혹은 전통적인 주얼리 장비를 통해서는 구분할 수 없습니다. 다이아몬드가 실험실에서 생산된 것인지, 아니면 지구 땅속 깊은 곳에서 오랜 시간 만들어진 것인지 알아보려면 IGI와 같은 보석 연구소에서 정교한 도구를 사용해야 합니다.
랩그로운 다이아몬드를 모이사나이트로 테스트할 수 있나요?
아니요. 이 스톤은 채굴 다이아몬드와 동일한 화학적 구성, 경도, 광도, 파이어를 지니고 있습니다. 둘 모두 100% 탄소로 이루어져 있습니다.
모이사나이트 역시 실험실에서 생산되지만 다이아몬드와 유사하게 보일 수 있도록 설계한 탄화규소일 뿐, 구성적, 시각적으로 완전히 다릅니다.
모조 다이아몬드가 무엇인가요?
모조 다이아몬드란 큐빅 지르코니아, 모이사나이트 등의 다이아몬드를 모방한 스톤을 일컫습니다. 물리적, 시각적, 구성적으로 완전히 다르되, 다이아몬드처럼 보이도록 만들어진 스톤일 뿐이죠.
큐빅 지르코니아와 랩그로운 다이아몬드는 동일한 스톤인가요?
아닙니다. 큐빅 지르코니아와 랩그로운 다이아몬드는 전적으로 다릅니다. 큐빅 지르코니아는 물리적, 시각적, 구성 요소 측면에서 다이아몬드와 전적으로 다른, 다이아몬드 모조품입니다. 이와 반대로 랩그로운 다이아몬드는 채굴 다이아몬드와 100% 동일하되, 오직 그 기원만 다를 뿐이죠.
