Frequently Asked Questions

Lab grown diamonds are genuine diamonds that do not originate from the earth's depths. Instead, they are created by diamond alchemists in advanced technological facilities. These lab grown diamonds replicate the natural process of diamond formation, making them structurally, optically and chemically identical to mined diamonds. By choosing Aukera’s lab grown diamond rings, you choose not to compromise on quality or beauty.

Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds. The main difference is their origin. Lab-grown diamonds are more sustainable and often more affordable than natural diamonds.

Yes, lab grown diamonds are real and precious diamonds. Gemologists, using their expertise, cannot differentiate between a lab-created diamond ring and a mined diamond ring. Both diamond testers and loupes recognise lab grown diamonds as true diamonds. The only difference is their origin, which makes lab-made diamond rings a choice for the modern buyer who values transparency.

Absolutely not. lab grown diamonds are not the same as zirconia, American diamonds, or moissanite. Those are synthetics. Zirconia and American diamonds are alternatives made from zirconium dioxide, while moissanite is a different mineral. None of these compare to the quality and brilliance of Aukera’s lab grown diamond rings. When you buy a lab grown diamond ring or any lab-diamond engagement ring, you choose diamonds that are graded and certified as diamonds and are 100% carbon.

Lab grown diamonds excel in all 4Cs: cut, clarity, colour, and carat. This makes them not just a popular choice but the best diamonds available. Aukera diamond jewellery, in particular, stand out in these areas, offering unmatched integrity and quality in larger carat sizes, in fancy shapes and in colours. This makes them the ideal choice for rings, like lab grown diamond engagement rings, and other jewellery pieces, such as lab diamond earrings and lab grown diamond necklaces.

With Aukera, the benefits don't stop there—our buyback and exchange options ensure flexibility if you ever wish to change your piece or upgrade.

When comparing lab grown diamonds with mined diamonds, it's important to note that chemically, structurally, and optically, they are identical. Both are composed of 100% carbon and are the hardest-known gemstones. Optically, they have the same cubic structure, and both types can be certified for authenticity. However, lab grown diamonds offer distinct advantages in traceability, as their origins can be clearly documented. Many lab grown diamonds are produced locally, such as in India, ensuring a transparent supply chain. In contrast, the origins of mined diamonds are often uncertain and can be associated with significant environmental and ethical issues, including land degradation, water pollution, and human conflict. Choosing lab grown diamonds means supporting a sustainable alternative free from the evils of traditional mining.
