As people become more conscious of the toll mining takes on the environment, the demand for lab-grown diamonds, also known as cultured diamonds, in Singapore rises. Cultured diamonds offer the same sparkle and quality as natural diamonds, after all, but at a far lower cost to the environment.

What are lab-grown diamonds?
Man-made diamonds in Singapore are made with a slim slice of diamond (called a diamond seed) placed in a vacuum chamber.
Through chemical vapour, carbon molecules then attach to that seed, “growing the diamond”. The result is a gemstone with the same chemical and physical composition as a mined diamond.
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, not synthetic ones or replacement gemstones.
In fact, they’re also graded and certified in the same way as organic diamonds.
Because lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, you can expect the same quality from them as from a mined diamond.
They have the same hardness, clarity, and overall quality. In other words, they too last forever.
Lab-Grown Diamonds vs. Natural Diamonds
Many talk about lab-grown diamonds vs real diamonds, but that’s actually erroneous – lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds too, just ones grown in a lab instead of earth.
These diamonds have precisely the same qualities as a mined diamond (such as quality, durability, and sparkle)... but because they take less time to make and extract, they’re more affordable as well as sustainable.
Why choose lab-grown diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are preferable to natural ones for several reasons. Among others, they’re ethically sourced, eco-friendly, more affordable, and all this is despite offering the exact same quality as natural counterparts.
