Lab Diamond vs. Natural Diamond Pricing
What Are Lab Diamonds?
Lab diamonds, just like natural mined diamonds, are gemstones made of crystal clear carbon. That means that lab diamonds and natural diamonds are visually and chemically the same. The major difference between lab diamonds and natural diamonds is that lab diamonds are born in laboratories over a course of weeks, whereas natural diamonds are formed in the earth over thousands of years. But, to the naked eye, they’re identical!

What Are Natural Diamonds?
Natural diamonds are crystal clear carbon gemstones that formed deep underground thousands of years ago. Due to their brilliant nature and incredible durability, natural diamonds have been sought after for hundreds of years as tokens of love, symbols of power, and spiritual cleansing.

How Do Lab Diamonds and Natural Diamonds Compare in Price?
While lab diamonds and natural diamonds are visually identical, their prices could not be more different! In fact, lab diamonds of comparable color, cut, and clarity are a fraction of their natural cousins. This makes wearing diamonds accessible to everyone.

Why Are Lab Diamonds Cheaper Than Natural Diamonds?
Lab diamonds are less expensive than natural, mined diamonds because we are able to make them on demand. Natural diamonds are rare gemstones, and the higher the quality, the more rare the gem! While lab diamonds also have degrees of quality, it is easier for us to create higher quality stones than it is to find them in the wild. And, it takes significantly less time, manpower, and fewer resources. So, because gem scientists have perfected the way of creating relatively large, high quality diamond crystals in labs, we are able to sell them at much lower cost!

Diamonds, Gemstones, & Metals

Verifiably Ethical & Sustainable
Every piece of Do Amore jewelry begins by not hurting the world. All our natural diamonds are either ethically sourced in Canada, recycled to eliminate additional demand, or accompanied by a blockchain ledger showing every hand your diamond passed through, proving your stone is truly conflict-free.
We also offer sustainable lab-created stones and guarantee all precious metals are recycled to eliminate the environmental impact of mining. Since March 2022, we carry absolutely no Russian diamonds and continue to urge the industry to follow suit.
