Luxury is changing, and it’s changing for the better. Today’s jewelry buyers care about more than just carat size and sparkle. They want beauty, but they also want confidence, ethics, and value. That’s where lab grown diamonds come in.
At Grand Lux Diamonds, we believe lab grown diamonds represent the next chapter in fine jewelry. If you’re curious about what makes them different, or, whether they can truly match natural diamonds, we’ve got you covered. This guide will answer your biggest questions and explain why more people are choosing lab grown stones over traditional ones today.
What Is a Lab Grown Diamond?
A lab grown diamond is a real diamond. It is made using advanced technology that replicates the natural conditions under which diamonds form in the earth, but it happens inside a controlled lab environment. The result is a diamond with the same brilliance, structure, and durability as a mined one.
These diamonds are not imitations or substitutes. They are chemically and physically identical to their natural counterparts and deliver the same sparkle, beauty, and strength—only without the human and environmental costs.
Why More People Are Choosing Lab Grown
Ethical Origins You Can Feel Good About
Traditional mining can damage the environment and raise serious ethical concerns about the treatment of workers. Lab grown diamonds offer a cleaner, more transparent alternative. At Grand Lux, we only offer responsibly created stones, each certified to meet the highest standards for quality and integrity.
More Diamond for Your Money
Lab grown diamonds are often more affordable because they do not come with the added costs tied to mining and distribution. This means you can invest in a larger, higher quality stone without going over budget. At Grand Lux, we raise the bar even further by offering only VVS1 clarity or better, D color, and Excellent or Ideal cut diamonds. You will be hard-pressed to find that level of quality in traditional retail.

Every Stone Comes Certified
All Grand Lux diamonds are IGI certified, giving you clear documentation and peace of mind. We make sure you know exactly what you are buying so you never have to worry about hidden flaws or confusing terminology. Our goal is to be completely transparent, every step of the way.
Lab Grown vs. Earth Grown: Can You Tell the Difference?
To the naked eye, lab-grown and earth-grown diamonds are virtually indistinguishable. You cannot tell just by looking. Both have the same chemical composition, physical structure, and dazzling brilliance. Even expert gemologists need advanced tools to determine which is which, because they are scientifically identical. What sets them apart is their origin and the values they reflect.
Earth-grown diamonds take billions of years to form under intense heat and pressure deep within the planet, while lab-grown diamonds are created in high-tech facilities that replicate those natural conditions in a matter of weeks. This modern process offers greater transparency and a much lower environmental footprint, without sacrificing beauty or quality.
