LAB GROWN Diamonds at 123GOLD
Lab Grown diamonds are a modern alternative to natural diamonds. They are real diamonds – the only difference is their origin. Natural diamonds are formed in the earth. Lab Grown diamonds are created in the laboratory, where conditions are created for diamonds to grow.
Lab Grown diamonds are very interesting for jewellery. They offer strong brilliance, a high-quality appearance and an attractive price-performance ratio. Often, larger stones or higher qualities are possible within the same budget.
At 123GOLD, the focus is on selected diamonds of high quality. This applies to both natural and Lab Grown diamonds.
What are Lab Grown diamonds?
Lab Grown diamonds, also called lab diamonds, are not mined but produced in the laboratory. This creates a diamond with the same optical, chemical and physical properties as a natural diamond. That means: a Lab Grown diamond is a real diamond.
The main difference is in the origin:
- Natural diamonds are formed over millions of years in the earth
- Lab Grown diamonds are created under controlled conditions in the laboratory
For you as a customer, the most important thing is: both variants are suitable for high-quality jewellery. The decision is a matter of personal preference.
Difference to natural diamonds
The main difference is the origin. Natural diamonds are rare natural products, Lab Grown diamonds are created using modern technology.
Natural diamonds stand especially for:
- Rarity
- natural origin
- value retention
- Uniqueness
Lab Grown diamonds stand especially for:
- modern production
- attractive prices
- conscious alternative
Visually, the differences cannot be seen – that's why certificates are important. They document whether it is a natural or a laboratory-created diamond.
At 123GOLD we offer Lab Grown diamonds in various versions:
- from 0.30 ct. in brilliant cut
- Fancy cuts (heart, oval, pear, princess) from 0.50 ct.
All diamonds are IGI-certified and have a unique certificate number on the girdle.
Advantages: price, size & appearance
Lab Grown diamonds are particularly attractive if you want a lot of carat weight for a good price. The price is usually more favourable than for comparable natural diamonds.
This creates new possibilities when choosing jewellery:
- a larger centre stone for the engagement ring
- more carat weight within the same budget
- a high-quality look at an attractive price
- more flexibility in design and stone setting
This does not automatically make Lab Grown diamonds better or worse. They are simply another option that is a very good fit for many customers. Especially for jewellery with several diamonds, the price difference can be particularly interesting. For example, with memoire rings, wedding rings with stone setting or earrings.
Meaning for jewellery
Lab Grown diamonds are very suitable for high-quality jewellery. They bring brilliance, clarity and elegance to many designs.
For engagement rings, Lab Grown diamonds often offer more design freedom. For example, you can choose a larger stone or a higher quality within your budget.
Lab Grown diamonds suit classic designs, but also modern jewellery. They are versatile.
