In a world where sustainability and ethics are becoming top priorities for many consumers, lab-grown diamonds have quickly emerged as a future-forward alternative to traditionally mined diamonds. However, as with any innovation, some myths and misconceptions can cloud your decision-making process.
You, the modern woman, deserve to feel confident in your choices, especially when it comes to something as important as fine jewellery. In this article, we’ll address and debunk some of the most common myths surrounding lab-grown diamonds so you can make your purchase with clarity and confidence.
Myth 1: Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Not ‘Real’ Diamonds
Fact: Lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. They have the same chemical composition, physical properties, and optical appearance as mined diamonds. Both lab-grown and mined diamonds are made of pure carbon, arranged in a crystal structure. The only difference lies in their origin — one is created deep within the earth, while the other is grown in a laboratory under controlled conditions.
If you choose a lab-grown diamond from Britta Dietsche, you can be confident that you’re wearing a diamond that is every bit as authentic, stunning, and durable as any mined diamond.
Myth 2: Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Inferior in Quality
Fact: Lab-grown diamonds are often superior to mined diamonds in terms of quality. Because they are created in controlled environments, lab-grown diamonds often have fewer impurities or inclusions. It’s common to find higher-quality diamonds in terms of clarity and colour when opting for lab-grown stones.
At Britta Dietsche, we are proud to offer a selection of rare coloured lab-grown diamonds that exhibit exceptional quality. Whether you’re looking for a perfect pink or a deep blue, our colour diamonds showcase the finest quality craftsmanship available, making them indistinguishable from their natural counterparts.
Myth 3: Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Fake or Synthetic
Fact: The term "synthetic" can sometimes be confused. When it comes to lab-grown diamonds, the word "synthetic" refers only to the way the diamond is made, not its authenticity. Lab-grown diamonds are not to be confused with imitation stones like cubic zirconia or moissanite. These alternatives look similar to diamonds but do not have the same chemical or physical properties.
Lab-grown diamonds are genuine diamonds in every way. They are just as hard, just as brilliant, and just as luxurious as mined diamonds — the only difference is their origin. This makes lab-grown diamonds a smart, ethical choice for women like you who seek the best without compromising on sustainability.
Myth 4: Lab-Grown Diamonds Have No Resale Value
Fact: While resale value may vary depending on the brand, style, and timing, lab-grown diamonds do hold value. Like all fine jewellery, the value of lab-grown diamonds is tied to the diamond’s quality, cut, and market demand. What’s more, the ethical and environmental benefits associated with lab-grown diamonds are likely to become more valued over time, especially as consumer awareness of sustainability grows.
When you choose Britta Dietsche, you’re not just buying a diamond — you’re investing in a piece of exclusive fine jewellery that carries the value of craftsmanship, rarity, and ethics. Our rare coloured diamonds, including pink, yellow, blue, and green stones, offer a unique advantage, as they represent a level of exclusivity that is rarely matched, even by mined diamonds.
Myth 5: Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Easy to Spot
Fact: Lab-grown diamonds are impossible to distinguish from mined diamonds with the naked eye. Even gemologists require specialised equipment to tell the difference between lab-grown and mined diamonds. This is because lab-grown diamonds are chemically and physically identical to mined diamonds. They share the same optical brilliance and fire, making them indistinguishable in terms of appearance.
At Britta Dietsche, we offer lab-grown diamonds that are designed to look flawless, whether you’re choosing a traditional white diamond or one of our exquisite coloured diamonds. When you wear one of our pieces, you can be confident that your diamond will shine with the same brilliance and elegance as any mined diamond.
Myth 6: Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Not as Rare as Mined Diamonds
Fact: While it’s true that lab-grown diamonds can be produced in controlled quantities, their rarity lies in their design and craftsmanship. This is especially true when it comes to coloured lab-grown diamonds. At Britta Dietsche, we specialise in rare coloured lab-grown diamonds, including pinks, blues, yellows, and greens, which are just as scarce as their mined counterparts.
The exclusivity and difficulty in sourcing these particular stones — which look strikingly similar to naturally coloured diamonds — adds to their rarity. Our commitment to sourcing only the finest quality stones ensures that each piece you choose from Britta Dietsche represents not just rarity, but excellence.
