Immerse yourself in the magic of innovation
A laboratory diamond is formed by reproducing the natural growth conditions of a diamond, but at an accelerated rate thanks to cutting-edge technological advances. It is also called "synthetic" or "cultured" diamond. It has the same properties of hardness and brilliance as a natural diamond. Its chemical composition and atomic structure are similar. It's important to emphasize thatthese are real diamonds, just as beautiful and long-lasting as natural ones!

The advantages of laboratory diamonds
The advantages of laboratory diamonds
An ethical alternative
Natural diamonds are the fruit of a long geological process. It is extracted from mines by excavating the ground. This method requires human resources, as well as water and energy. As for synthetic diamonds, their production requires advanced technology. Laboratories have to maintain diamond-forming conditions in caissons for several weeks, which also requires a great deal of energy. Nevertheless, laboratory diamonds offer a major ethical advantage. They are largely exempt from the geopolitical problems associated with armed conflict and poor working conditions.

Better traceability
Laboratory diamonds offer greater transparency of origin than natural diamonds. In fact, with the number of intermediaries drastically reduced, it's easier to define the countries of origin. We work mainly with laboratories in the USA and India. This enables consumers to make an informed choice and feel confident about the provenance of their diamond.

Outstanding features
Laboratory diamonds also have the same optical and physical same optical and physical characteristics as natural diamonds. They possess the same brilliance, sparkle and exceptional beauty. They are thus also defined by the 4 major diamond selection criteria, known as the 4 "C":
CARAT, COLOR, CLARITY, CUT
Namely, they are indistinguishable to the naked eye as well as to a magnifying glass, making them a perfectly viable alternative for those seeking the uncompromising beauty and quality of a diamond! The difference between a laboratory diamond and a natural diamond lies in the expertise of an experienced gemologist, analyzing the traces of residue associated with natural geological processes over a long period of time.

Affordable prices
Less expensive than their natural counterparts, laboratory diamonds make it possible to choose a diamond of superior quality and weight for the same budget. quality and weight for the same budget. Prices can be reduced by 30% up to 70% lowerespecially for larger volumes of stones, i.e. over 1.00 carat..
The reduction in the number of intermediaries and manufacturing time for laboratory diamonds explains this price differential. This difference does not devalue natural diamonds, but rather completes the range of diamonds on offer, democratizing jewelry and making exceptional qualities more accessible.
