Why Choose Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds are your new best friend. Earth-friendly, ethically sourced, and lab-made, sustainable diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. The only difference between lab-grown and earth-mined diamonds is their origin, and ultimately their cost to YOU and the environment.
How: From a Diamond Seed 2 a Stone
Lab-grown diamonds are created with tiny carbon seeds and advanced High-Pressure Technology (HPHT) that creates an environment for time-compressed diamond growth. Using the extreme heat of about 1,500 degrees celsius and high pressure of about 1.5 million pounds per square inch, the process essentially replicates and accelerates that of earth-mined diamonds, all under controlled lab conditions. This revolutionary technology is unlocking a future where diamond jewelry is more affordable and accessible without all the environmental destruction, questionable ethics and conflict-provoking practices of using explosives, hydraulics, and manual labor that is used in mining diamonds from under the earth’s crust.
The New Status Symbol = Sustainable
All Seed2Stone jewelry is made exclusively with lab-grown, sustainable diamonds and 100% certified recycled sterling silver and gold. Our manufacturing partners are SCS (Scientific Certification Services) and RJC (Responsible Jewelry Council) certified for the highest ethical and environmental standards. We are proud of our traceable supply chain and ethical manufacturing practices. It feels good to know and work with partners we trust and share that good feeling in every piece made.
Lab-Grown Beauty + Value
Each lab-grown diamond is as uniquely beautiful and different as the person who wears it. As with earth-mined diamonds, every stone is lab graded with the same 4Cs of cut, clarity, color, and carat. Because they are anatomically identical to mined diamonds, only a trained specialist with highly-specialized equipment can tell the difference.
There is one significant difference that can be detected by everyone, and that is the 5thC: cost! Lab-grown, sustainable diamonds are appreciably more affordable at about 30% less expensive than mined diamonds. This is why we choose lab-grown diamonds: that savings gives you more diamond for your dollar, with the added status of sustainability and more sparkle for a brighter future.
