Lab Grown Diamonds are identical in every way to a mined diamond. Unlike synthetic stones like Cubic Zirconias, Lab Grown Diamonds are the same hardness of natural mined diamonds, therefore they have the same durability and longevity. At Shamin, we give you our honest opinion on the advantages and disadvantages of buying earth mined or ethical lab grown. We firmly believe there is a place for each to shine in the marketplace.
While a rare exceptional quality 1 Carat Natural Mined Diamond can be over CAN$10,000, a Lab Grown diamond of the same quality would be under CAN$1999 and a similar exceptional Lab Grown Moissanite would be CAN$598.
