Lab vs. Natural Diamonds: Why Lab is the Smart Choice

The Promise: Guaranteed Flawless Brilliance

We exclusively use the highest cut, color, and clarity grades—to ensure your diamond is truly eye-clean and destined to sparkle for a lifetime.

EOSS steadfast commitment to exceptional quality is the main driving force behind our meticulous selection of the production method that best complements the characteristics of the desired diamond. This dedication ensures that every piece of jewelry we create is a masterpiece that consistently exceeds our customers’ expectations.

The same beauty, the same chemistry, but a revolutionary difference in price and impact.

The Great Misconception

When people hear "lab-grown diamonds," they often think of fake, artificial, or inferior. But that is like saying an IVF baby is less "real" than a naturally conceived child. Both are 100% human, with the same DNA, emotions, and potential—only the way they originated is different. The same applies to diamonds.

 

The Science: Identical Down to Atomic Accuracy

Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds. Both consist of pure carbon in a cubic crystal structure. A gemologist cannot tell the difference with the naked eye—specialized equipment is needed to look for microscopic growth traces.

All of our lab grown diamonds are guaranteed to be of the best quality and shape, with a minimum of VS clarity and E-D color grade, and are IGI Certified for quality assurance. To the visible eye, you will see no difference to a real diamond; only under a special microscope can a gemologist discern their origin.

The Facts:

  • Hardness: 10 on the Mohs scale (both)

  • Refractive Index: 2.42 (both)

  • Chemical Composition: 100% carbon (both)

  • Color and Clarity: Identical grades possible

  • Durability: A lifetime (both)

 

The Formation: Nature vs. Laboratory

 

Natural diamonds originate deep within the earth under extreme pressure and heat over billions of years. Lab-grown diamonds originate in a few weeks under similar extreme conditions, but in a controlled and reproduced environment in a laboratory. It is like cooking: you can bake bread in a traditional oven or a modern convection oven. The final result is the same bread, but one method is faster, more efficient, and more controllable.

 

Why Lab-Grown is the Intelligent Choice

 

  1. Price: 60–80% More Affordable A natural 2-carat diamond can cost €20,000–40,000. The same lab-grown diamond costs €4,000–8,000. You literally get more diamond for your money—or you can choose a much larger stone with the same budget.

  2. Ethics: No Conflict Lab-grown diamonds have no association with conflict zones, child labor, or human rights abuses. You can enjoy your diamond with a clear conscience.

  3. Environment: 99% Less Impact Mining natural diamonds moves approximately 1,750 tons of earth per carat. Lab-grown diamonds require only a fraction of that environmental impact.

  4. Quality: Often Better Due to the controlled environment, lab-grown diamonds often have fewer inclusions and better color grades than natural diamonds in the same price range. This is why we can confidently guarantee a minimum of VS clarity and E-D color on all our stones, verified by IGI certification.

  5. Transparency: You Know What You Get Every lab-grown diamond is fully traceable. You know exactly where and how your diamond was created.

 

The Emotional Value Remains the Same

 

An engagement ring represents love, commitment, and a shared future. That emotion does not come from how the diamond was formed, but from what the ring means to your relationship. Just as the love for an IVF child is no less because fertilization received scientific assistance, the meaning of a lab-grown diamond is no less because its growth was scientifically guided.

 

An Investment? Think Again

 

Natural diamonds are often sold as an “investment,” but the reality is different. Most consumer diamonds lose 50–60% of their value as soon as you walk out of the store. Diamonds are emotional purchases, not financial investments. With lab-grown, you get the same emotional value, but at a fair price from day one.

 

The Future is Lab-Grown

 

Major luxury brands have completely switched to lab-grown diamonds. Younger generations are overwhelmingly choosing sustainable, ethical alternatives. Lab-grown is not the future—it is the present.
