Lab Grown Diamonds
The Alternative to Earth Mined Diamonds
Our Specialty.
Here at The Gem Vault, we have always specialized in and sold fine natural gemstones. However, with modern technological advancements in the diamond industry, we are pleased to now offer laboratory grown diamonds in our store.
Lab grown diamonds are a true alternative to natural diamonds. They offer all of the fine qualities of natural diamonds with significantly lower ethical concerns and costs.
Lab grown diamonds offer the same brilliance and durability as Earth mined diamonds, at a far lower cost. These advantages allow customers to maximize the benefits of choosing a higher quality and larger diamond sizes.
Why Lab Grown Diamonds?
The growth process of a lab grown diamond is very similar to the natural diamond growth process. Lab diamonds have the same chemical and physical properties of diamonds that are Earth mined. They are also graded by the same gemological criteria used by independent labs that also grade mined diamonds.
Aside from being fundamentally equal to their natural counterparts, lab grown diamonds are:
Less impactful to the natural environment than mined diamonds. It takes about 1,700 tons of Earth to be moved to produce one carat of diamond
Generally conflict-free
Competitively priced significantly below the cost of natural diamonds
Other Lab Grown Gemstones
