Are diamonds from VRAI real?

VRAI created diamonds are lab-grown diamonds created by our own foundry using the CVD method. We begin with a thin foundation of diamond.

Is lab created diamond real?

Lab grown diamonds are as real as diamonds mined from the earth. Lab grown diamonds are identical to earth mined diamonds in every way, except that they are grown in a lab. They have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds and exhibit the same fire, scintillation, and sparkle.

Does VRAI sell loose diamonds?

Yes! You can purchase a VRAI created loose diamond directly from our site here. Please refer to our loose diamond return policy here, which differs from je...

Are VRAI diamonds cubic zirconia?

When you buy a VRAI created diamond, you are purchasing a real diamond— not moissanite, cubic zirconia, or another synthetic material — without mining, deforestation, cartels, or carbon emissions. Our diamonds are then featured in engagement rings and fine jewelry designs made from platinum or recycled solid gold.

Why are VRAI diamonds so cheap?

VRAI focuses only on selling lab-created diamonds. That's one reason their prices are so low. The other reason is that VRAI is vertically integrated with The Diamond Foundry, which creates all of their diamonds. They're essentially the same company.

Do Lab-Grown Diamonds Test As Real Diamonds?

Is VRAI ethical?

Our diamonds are the world's only diamonds produced with zero carbon footprint: Certified Carbon Neutral(R).

Does lab grown diamonds have GIA certified?

Yes. GIA has been grading laboratory-grown diamonds since 2007. Beginning July 1, 2019, GIA Laboratory-Grown Diamond Reports and identification reports no longer use the term “synthetic.” The GIA Laboratory-Grown Diamond Report includes the standard GIA color, clarity and cut grading scales for reference purposes.

Can a gemologist tell a lab grown diamond?

Because laboratory-grown diamonds are essentially chemically and optically the same as their natural counterparts, traditional gemological observations and old-style “diamond detectors” are not able to tell them apart.

What is the difference between a cubic zirconia and a lab created diamond?

The difference between lab-grown and natural diamonds is that lab-grown diamonds are created synthetically in laboratories, while natural ones are mined from the earth. Cubic zirconia is also a synthetically created stone, but its crystal structure and chemical composition are completely different.

Are lab created diamonds the same as moissanite?

Is a Lab Diamond the same thing as Moissanite? No. They are completely different minerals, with very different looks and different hardness ratings.

What are eco diamonds?

Unlike mined diamonds, lab created diamonds do not cause pollution of air or water. Lab grown diamonds or eco-friendly diamonds are created in small diamond growing chambers inside safe laboratories. They produce close to negligent amount of waste.

What is VRAI?

[vʀɛ ] Word forms: vrai, vraie. véridique) [récit, faits] true.

Why do labs grow diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds offer great value, as they are more affordable than natural diamonds of comparable size and quality. These cultured diamonds can be almost 30% less expensive than mined natural diamonds. The mined diamond industry is largely controlled by diamond cartels and filled with middle-men.

Will lab diamonds pass diamond tester?

Yes! Lab grown diamonds test positive on a diamond tester because they're made of crystallized carbon, just as mined diamonds are. Although, because some HPHT diamonds may carry impurities (although unnoticeable to the naked eye), there is a chance they could test as moissanite or non-diamond.

Can you insure lab grown diamonds?

Yes! Just like a mined diamond, laboratory grown diamonds can be insured. In fact, by choosing a lab-grown diamond, you'll not only save money on the diamond itself, but you'll also save money on the annual premium of the insurance policy due to the lower overall cost of the insurable piece.

Why are lab diamonds so expensive?

Mined diamonds form over millions of years. Lab grown diamonds form in just 6 to 10 weeks! The machinery, materials, and highly skilled staff required for that manufacturing feet are very costly. If you're still wondering why the cost of man made diamonds isn't a lot lower, keep reading.

Does simulated diamond mean fake?

Simply put, simulated diamonds are fake diamonds. Popular examples include cubic zirconia (CZ), synthetic garnet (YAG), moissanite, and other natural clear gemstones like white zircon, clear quartz or white sapphire. Here's a video showing one of the most perfect simulated diamonds, cubic zirconia.

Is a simulated diamond a real diamond?

Diamond simulants are gemstones manufactured to look like diamonds but are both visually and compositionally different than diamonds. Simulated diamonds, such as cubic zirconia (CZ) or moissanite, look like diamonds but are not real diamonds.

What is a lab grown diamond called?

Synthetic diamond (also called laboratory-grown, laboratory-created, man-made, artisan created, or cultured diamond) is diamond that is produced in a controlled technological process (in contrast to naturally formed diamond, which is created through geological processes and obtained by mining).

How long do lab grown diamonds last?

They are chemically identical to natural diamonds

Lab diamonds really do last forever, and there's nothing that will dull the shine or interfere with the brilliance of synthetic diamonds. It's not for nothing that they say it's impossible to tell the difference between a natural diamond and a man-made one.

DO Labs grow diamonds dull over time?

The most common misconception is that they are not forever. Does this mean that the lab-grown diamond engagement ring that you buy will fade in color? Absolutely not. The color and clarity of laboratory diamonds will not change over time - they are diamonds, just like those that come from the mines, Ye-hui commented.

How can a jeweler tell if a diamond is lab created?

Can a Jeweler Tell That a Diamond is Lab Grown? No. Ada's lab diamonds and natural diamonds of the same quality look the same, even to a trained eye. Traditional jewelers' tools such as microscopes or loupes cannot detect the difference between a laboratory-grown diamond and a natural, mined diamond.

What is the best lab grown diamond certification?

The best certification for diamonds created in labs is the IGI. They give specific grading for certain qualities like clarity, color, and many more. Another reliable grading system is the GIA.

Which diamond lab certification is best?

The best diamond certifications are the GIA and AGS because they're the most consistent lab grading entities. That means you can trust their grading in all aspects like Color, Clarity and Cut quality. These labs also grade more rigorously than other labs.

Are Blue Nile diamonds man made?

All of Blue Nile's diamonds are natural and they sell lab-made. So, if you're looking to save some more money by opting for a lab-created diamond, head on over to James Allen or With Clarity, instead.
