Lab-grown diamonds are actual diamonds with the same chemical composition (pure carbon crystallized in isotropic 3D form) as natural diamonds, whereas moissanite and cubic zirconia are different materials. Moissanite is made of silicon carbide and cubic zirconia is made of zirconium dioxide; both simulate the appearance of diamonds but do not have the same properties, such as hardness or refractive index. Lab-grown diamonds are virtually indistinguishable from natural diamonds without specialized equipment, while moissanite and cubic zirconia can often be identified by their greater brilliance and fire or lower hardness.
Ritani’s lab-grown diamonds undergo a stringent grading and certification process similar to that of mined diamonds. This process is conducted by certified gemologists or reputable gemological laboratories, which assess the diamonds based on the 4Cs: Carat weight, Cut, Color, and Clarity. Each diamond is provided with a certification document that verifies its specifications and serves as proof of its quality and authenticity.
The production of lab-grown diamonds has a smaller environmental footprint than traditional diamond mining. It avoids the large-scale earth displacement, habitat destruction, and other ecological impacts associated with mining operations. Choosing a lab-grown diamond can be a more sustainable choice for environmentally conscious consumers.
Cut is extremely important, as it directly affects the fire and sparkle of a diamond. A good cut can make a diamond look brighter and more vibrant.

Yes, lab diamonds are certified by reputable gemological laboratories such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the International Gemological Institute (IGI). These certifications provide an assessment of the diamond’s quality and authenticity.
Lab-grown diamonds are virtually identical to natural diamonds in terms of appearance and properties. The main difference is their origin. Lab-grown diamonds are typically more affordable and environmentally friendly compared to natural diamonds.
