Earth Mined vs Lab Grown Diamonds - The Basics

Earth-mined diamonds are diamonds that are naturally formed in the earth's crust over many years. They are extracted from mines using various methods such as open-pit mining and underground mining. These diamonds are considered to be natural.

Lab-grown diamonds, also known as man-made diamonds or cultured diamonds, are diamonds that are created in a laboratory using advanced technology. They are created by replicating the conditions under which natural diamonds form in the earth's crust. These diamonds are chemically and physically identical to earth-mined diamonds but are considered to be more ethical and eco-friendly.

It's important to note that lab-grown diamonds have the same properties as earth-mined diamonds, but are typically more cost accessible (more bling for your buck). Lab-grown diamonds are becoming increasingly popular, with many people choosing them for their ethical and environmental benefits.

Ultimately, earth-mined and lab-grown diamonds are both real diamonds; they just grew up differently: which one to choose becomes a personal choice (and a budget choice!).
