Time to Grow a Diamond?

To grow a diamond takes 7-10 days to grow a 1 carat lab diamond, and approximately one month to grow a 3 carat diamond.  Any faster, the diamond crystal will fracture.  Therefore, there is a physical speed limit to how fast you can grow diamonds.

Are All Lab Diamonds Flawless and Perfect?

Lab grown diamonds are not flawless and perfect.  Lab grown diamonds are created by recreating the conditions in nature.  Hence, lab grown diamonds have the same variations of color and clarity that exist in natural diamonds (the 4Cs).

Ranging across color and clarity spectrum, lab grown diamonds are similar to mined diamonds.  Teva Diamonds chooses to only work with diamonds that are H+ better in color and SI1+ better in clarity.  The 4C’s that grade diamonds fluctuate from diamond to diamond.  Lab diamonds can vary in their quality even within the 4Cs, so it’s imperative that a lab diamond expert inspect your diamond before purchase.

Are Lab Diamonds Less Expensive than Mined Diamonds?

Simple answer, Yes.  Lab created diamonds tend to retail at a 40-50% discount off of comparable quality natural diamonds.  As with natural diamonds, lab grown diamonds are priced based on their quality.

Fancy colored lab diamonds are considerably less expensive than fancy colored natural diamonds.  While a natural blue or pink diamond can sell for millions of dollars per carat at auction, lab grown yellow, blue, pink, red, green, and black diamonds are only a small premium over the price of colorless lab diamonds.  As with natural mined diamonds, fancy colored lab diamonds are still rare and their supply unpredictable.

Can I Have a Lab Diamond Appraised and Insured ?

Yes. Laboratory-grown diamonds are simply appraised and insured, just like naturally mined diamonds. Teva Diamond’s fine jewelry comes with a full appraisal.  Progressive jewelry appraisers, such as American Gem Registry, will gladly appraise lab diamond jewelry.

Do Lab Diamonds Change Color Over Time?

No. Laboratory-grown diamonds do not fade, discolor, or cloud over time.
