Lab-grown diamonds are increasingly popular among informed millennials who are concerned about the environment and ethically-sourced gems. They are also cheaper than natural diamonds and often come from conflict-free sources.
They are created using a scientific process called Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) to simulate the conditions of naturally grown diamonds beneath the earth’s surface.

Love & Co.
Lab diamonds are man-made stones that look just as stunning as natural diamonds. They can be rated and graded like a naturally mined stone on the 4Cs (cut, clarity, color and carat).
The man made diamonds London are made with eco-friendly and ethically sourced materials. These lab-grown diamonds are a great option for couples who want to make a meaningful impact on the world while celebrating their love.
For the best lab diamonds, consider a high-quality stone with good clarity and color, recommends Shahla Karimi, New York-based designer and founder of Clean Origins. She advises couples to stay within the F-G range, which is the lowest-grade color on the scale and still a good quality for the price.
