1. Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are 100% real. They are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds, and even gemologists cannot differentiate them without advanced tools.

2. How are lab-grown diamonds created?
Lab-grown diamonds are created using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond-growing process. The two primary methods are:

• High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT): Mimics the natural formation process under extreme heat and pressure.

• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Grows diamonds layer by layer using carbon vapor.

3. Are lab-grown diamonds ethical?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are the most ethical choice. They avoid the environmental destruction and ethical concerns associated with mining, making them guilt-free and sustainable.

4. How are lab-grown diamonds compare to mined diamonds?
They are identical in every way—chemically, physically, and optically. Lab-grown diamonds are also graded based on the 4Cs: Cut, Clarity, Color, and Carat, just like mined diamonds.

5. Are lab-grown diamonds durable?
Absolutely! Lab-grown diamonds have the same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale) as mined diamonds, making them just as durable and perfect for everyday wear.

6. Can I customize my jewelry?
Yes! At Diamonds by Ora we specialize in bespoke designs. You can choose your diamond's cut, color, clarity, and carat weight and work with our designers to create a piece that's uniquely yours.

7. Do lab-grown diamonds hold their sparkle over time?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds retain their brilliance, sparkle, and clarity forever. They are timeless treasures.

8. Are lab-grown diamonds more affordable?
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are typically 60-70% less expensive than mined diamonds, offering exceptional value without compromising quality.
