Lab-grown Diamonds – To Buy or Not to Buy?
“They’re beautiful, but are they really diamonds?” is what I most often hear from clients considering a lab-grown gemstone. My answer is, yes and no – from look and feel they are indistinguishable to the naked eye, but unlike a natural gem, a lab-grown or “synthetic” diamond is man-made.
