LAB GROWN DIAMOND BENEFITS: WHY?
01.
VALUE
Lab created diamonds are more affordable in comparison to natural diamonds. You can expect to pay 70% to 85% less on a lab diamond than you would on a mined diamond. This price difference is because mined diamonds require a longer supply chain and labour.
02.
EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY & BEAUTY
Lab grown or man made diamonds are chemically identical to their mined counterparts. They have the same beautiful visual, robust physical, and chemical traits. And are known as the hardest substance known to man.
03.
CONFLICT-FREE
Both natural and lab diamonds require carbon, and intense heat and high pressure to grow. While mined diamonds form within the Earth, lab grown diamonds are made in an environment with cutting-edge equipment that mirrors the Earth’s mantle conditions. Therefore, no mining deposits are needed!
What is a Lab Created Diamond?
When someone purchases a diamond, the consumer should be knowledgable whether their diamond is natural or lab grown. Many might think that lab created diamonds are not real, but that is false. Lab grown, lab created, or man made diamonds are the hardest substance known to man (with mined diamonds). These kind of diamonds have the same visual, physical, and chemical features to their natural counterparts. Like natural diamonds, lab created diamonds also require carbon, intense heat, and high pressure to grow.

LAB DIAMONDS
NATURAL DIAMONDS
| Chemical Composition | Origin | Duration of diamond formation | Conflict-free | Price | Last Forever | Durability (Rating on Moths scale) | Is a real diamond |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C (carbon) | Lab | At least 2 weeks (depending on carat weight) | Yes | $$ / $$$$ (15% - 30% less than mined diamonds) | Yes | 10/10 | Yes |
| C (carbon) | Earth (mining deposits) | Unknown. But can take millions of years. | Depending (With Clarity only sells conflict-free diamonds) | $$$ / $$$$ | Yes | 10/10 | Yes |
DIAMOND CERTIFICATION
GIA
Gemological Institute of America
The Gemological Institute of
America is a nonprofit institute that has an international
authority on diamonds, gemstones, and pearls. GIA
was founded in 1931, and in the 1940s, established the
“4Cs” (Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight) or the
“International Diamond Grading System.” The GIA is
arguably the leading source of knowledge for all gemstones
and jewelry, which is why all With Clarity Natural Diamonds
are graded by GIA.
AWDC
Antwerp World Diamond Center
Antwerp World Diamond Center is recognized as one of
the leaders in the diamond industry. For more than five
centuries, Antwerp in the country of Belgium has been
the capital for international diamond trade. They stand for
transparency, integrity, quality, and sustainability. Their main
mission is to inspire the current generations and future
generations to keep Antwerp at the forefront of the diamond
trade industry.
AGS
American Gem Society
The American Gem Society started in 1943 to protect jewelry consumers. While the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is the industry’s leading diamond lab, the AGS is not far behind. Like GIA, AGS is also a nonprofit organization. AGS stands out amongst other diamond grading systems because they use a 0 to 10 scale, with 0 as the best and 10 as the worst.
IGI
International Gemological Institute
The International Gemological Institute is the world’s largest
independent gemstone grading organization. Established in 1975, IGI now has offices all over the globe, with 18 lab locations. This independent laboratory carefully studies colored stones and jewelry, along with lab grown diamonds (like With Clarity Lab Diamonds), to determine authenticity. Other than grading, they also have 14 schools of gemology.
GSI
Gemological Science International
At Gemological Science International, hundreds of researchers seek to use advanced technology and intelligent software to automate the diamond grading process (which is usually graded by hand). GSI diamond grading reports stand for “innovation, integrity, and professionalism.” GSI labs in places like the United States, India, Belgium, and Israel follow the alphabetical grading system.
