was approached by their sales team in Instagram after I liked a story they shared. they said a new ethical lab grown diamond business in my home town of Brighton. after a few days of talking I ordered a brand new set of diamond earrings...LOVE THEM!!
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds with same carbon structure and chemical composition. A ‘Lab Diamond’ is exactly like a Natural Diamond, except instead of mining it from the Earth, they are grown in a lab.
They sparkle the same, have the same types of colour and clarity, and can come in the same sizes and shapes. In fact, they offer excellent value and are more affordable than natural ones of comparable quality and size.
Two important reasons to choose a lab diamond are origin & value. Rest assured that your diamond did not result in the funding of conflict in a war-torn country, nor did it require leaving a mile-wide hole in the ground. Also objectively, diamonds grown above the Earth are more pure than “dirt diamonds”, blasted out of the Earth with dynamite and diesel. Compared to diamonds grown in the chaos under the Earth, diamonds grown by mankind have fewer defects and less strain in the crystal structure.
Quite simply, the more pure the diamond, the better, brighter, and whiter the gemstone.
Lab diamonds receive grading reports from independent gemological organisations on the 4Cs: Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat Weight. Just like in mined diamonds, lab diamonds will exhibit variations across the 4Cs and range from poor to superlative quality. Not all lab diamonds are perfect, colourless, and flawless!

Diamond Clarity
Clarity reflects the purity of a diamond or the inclusions and blemishes in a diamond. The inclusions and blemishes impact a diamond’s ability to let in light and reflect its brilliance. Inclusions are interior irregularities and blemishes are exterior irregularities. These imperfections are not flaws, but rather the natural fingerprint of every diamond. Often, we can see these only under a powerful microscope or jeweler’s loupe, and they do not visibly affect the appearance or beauty of a diamond. Large inclusions can affect the scintillation of a diamond considerably be absorbing the light passing through. Some inclusions are coloured too, the most common one being “Nats”- a black inclusion, which is considerably big, and can be easily spotted by the naked eye. The larger or more numerous the inclusions the less valuable the diamond.
Internationally, diamonds are graded by labs according to the following grades:
FL Flawless: These diamonds are completely clean and have no inclusions or blemishes detectable under 10x magnification. They are extremely rare and expensive.
IF Internally Flawless: These diamonds have no detectable inclusions but may have some surface blemishes under 10x magnification. They are very rare and very valuable.
VVS1/VVS2 Very Very Slightly Included: Inclusions and blemishes are extremely difficult for even a skilled gemologist to detect under 10x magnification, usually visible only under a powerful microscope.
VS1/VS2 Very Slightly Included: Inclusions and blemishes are detectable under 10x magnification, but are minor flaws that do not impact the diamond’s beauty and are totally invisible to the naked eye.
SI1/SI2 Slightly Included: Inclusions and blemishes are easily noticeable under 10x magnification and may also be visible to the naked eye.
I1, I2, I3 Included: Inclusions and blemishes are obvious under 10x magnification and typically visible to the naked eye. These flaws may negatively impact the transparency and or brilliance of the diamond.
