What are the differences between lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds? Both are evaluated using the 4Cs, a diamond grading scale developed by GIA. This includes color, clarity, cut, and caratage. The 4Cs is a world-recognized system for determining the value of the diamond.

The following is a comparison breakdown between these two diamond options:

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: Lab grown diamonds are NOT imitation diamonds (cubic zirconia), zircon (a totally different stone), or a man-made diamond simulant (moissanite, GGG, YAG, for example). Lab grown diamonds are not “fake.” Lab grown diamonds mimic the striking properties of natural diamonds and are produced in a controlled environment under the same conditions as natural diamonds. Lab grown diamonds are synthetic diamonds.

  • Both lab grown and natural diamonds have a crystal cubic structure
  • Both are made with carbon in a highly pressurized environment, one in the lab, the natural counterpart in the earth’s mantle.

DURABILITY: Lab grown diamonds offer the same hardness and durability of natural diamonds, one of the most famous properties of diamonds. 

  • Natural diamonds rate 10 on the Moh’s hardness scale, and are heavily scratch resistant compared to other gemstones. They are one of the hardest minerals on earth.

FIRE, SCINTILLATION & BRIGHTNESS: According to GIA, fire is the dispersion of light into a color spectrum. Scintillation is the flashes of light (the diamond’s unparalleled sparkle) when the diamond is in movement with patterns of light and dark areas, and brightness is the totality of light reflected from the diamond.

  • Because lab grown diamonds are created to mimic natural diamonds, they offer the same beautiful brilliance when worn.

SHAPE: Shape refers to the shape of the diamond or stone. This includes marquise, emerald cut, round brilliant, and princess, etc.  Cut refers to the symmetry of the stone and can be evaluated using different factors. Both natural and lab-made diamonds are available in different shapes and cuts for your convenience and price evaluation.

CLARITY: Clarity refers to the blemishes of the stone that may occur inside or outside.  Clarity is one of the most important factors for determining diamond quality.

  • Lab grown and natural diamonds are both evaluated for clarity

CARATAGE: Caratage refers to the weight of the stone and can be measured using different methods. The stone’s caratage can be found using various mathematical formulas or can be averaged using a plastic sheet with diamond tables as a representation.

  • Lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds use the same metric for caratage.

COLOR: Earth-mined diamonds and man-made diamonds are evaluated on a color scale, D-Z.  They are also available in rare fancy colors such as pinks, yellows, blues, and greens.
