Is a Lab Grown Diamond a Real Diamond? Here's the Truth.

When shopping for a diamond, you might wonder: Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond? The short answer? Yes. Absolutely. At Atlanta White Diamond, we believe in transparency, quality, and empowering you to make informed, confident choices. Lab grown diamonds aren’t imitations—they’re real diamonds with the same sparkle, structure, and strength as their mined counterparts. Let’s dive into the facts.

What Is a Lab Grown Diamond?

Lab grown diamonds—also called lab created diamonds or man-made diamonds—are created using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond formation process. Instead of forming underground over billions of years, they are grown in a lab in just a few weeks using one of two scientific methods: HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) or CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition).

And yes—they are real diamonds.

So… Is a Lab Grown Diamond a Real Diamond?

Let’s break it down. A lab grown diamond:

• Has the same chemical composition as mined diamonds (pure carbon in a crystal structure).

• Has the same physical properties (hardness, brilliance, durability).

• Is graded by the same organizations (GIA, IGI, etc.).

• Can be cut, polished, and set just like any natural diamond.

The only difference? Where it’s grown. One is formed underground, the other above it. But both are genuine diamonds.

Lab Grown vs. Natural Diamonds: What's the Difference?

Lab grown diamonds are not simulants like cubic zirconia or moissanite. They’re the real deal—and smart shoppers are taking notice.

Why Are Lab Grown Diamonds More Affordable?

Since lab grown diamonds skip the expensive and resource-heavy mining process, they’re more cost-effective. This means you can invest in a larger stone, better clarity, or a more unique setting—all while staying within budget.

Want a 2 carat lab grown diamond ring at the price of a 1 carat mined one? That’s the power of real, accessible luxury.

Yes. All Atlanta White Diamond lab grown diamonds are certified by the same labs that grade mined diamonds. You’ll find clear grading on cut, color, clarity, and carat weight—so you can buy with confidence.
