Natural Diamonds

Natural diamonds form deep within the Earth under extreme conditions of heat and pressure over billions of years. They are comprised of nearly 99.95% carbon—making diamonds the only gemstone constructed of a single element. They are the hardest naturally occurring materials found on Earth and gemstone-quality diamonds are one of the most sought-after. Because of their limited quantity, natural diamonds have been cherished for their enduring high values and are passed from generation to generation.   

Lab Diamonds

Lab diamonds, such as the 14K White Gold Diamond Studs, are optically, chemically, and physically the same as natural diamonds.

In other words, they look and feel identical, because chemically speaking they are identical.

Their difference lies only in their origins — natural diamonds form within the Earth, and lab diamonds are grown by professionals with specialized equipment.

Another difference relates to cost; as lab grown diamonds are less rare than natural diamonds, they often come at a much more accessible price.
