How Much Are Lab-grown Diamonds?

 

As marvels of modern technology, lab-grown diamonds bring a blend of accessibility and brilliance to our lives, perfect for those who desire a touch of something special in their everyday attire without the concerns of wearing (and losing) fine jewelry pieces more suited for weddings and galas.

In this guide, we'll investigate the factors that determine the pricing of lab-grown diamonds. From their formation in plasma reactors to their place in today's jewelry landscape, we’ll help you understand the true value and affordability of these gems.

Let's debunk misconceptions and shed light on the real cost of these contemporary jewelry pieces.

Understanding Diamonds: From Natural to Lab-Grown

Once upon a time, deep within the Earth's mantle, under conditions of intense heat and pressure, diamonds formed. Over billions of years, these carbon atoms arranged themselves into a unique lattice structure, giving birth to what we now know as natural diamonds.

These gems are treasured for their hardness, brilliance, and the sheer awe that comes with owning a piece of Earth's antiquity. But hey, did you know there's another way to get the same radiance without waiting for eons?

Unlike their natural counterparts, lab-grown diamonds don't require millennia to form. They're created right here, in laboratories, under controlled conditions that mimic the Earth's. Why?

Well, for one, offer control over the production process, making them an affordable luxury. These lab-grown marvels also share similar physical and chemical properties with natural diamonds from crystal structure to distinctive shine.

But it's best to think about them as fraternal, not identical, twins, as the creation process is quite different. And trust us, it's a story worth telling.

Unlocking ELGA: Decoding the '4 Cs' of Diamonds

The world of diamonds is often deciphered through the renowned '4 Cs' Cut, Carat, Color, and Clarity, serving as universal metrics for assessing the quality and value of both natural and lab-grown diamonds. Let's delve into each aspect with a touch of sophistication:

Cut: Beyond mere shape, cut reflects the mastery of the diamond cutter. A well-cut natural or lab-grown diamond showcases exquisite light reflection, enhancing its visual allure. Conversely, a poorly cut piece may lack brilliance, irrespective of its size or clarity.

Carat: The weight of a diamond, whether natural or lab-grown, is measured in carats, where one carat equals 200 milligrams. Rarity and cost increase with carat weight making a two-carat diamond twice as weighty and exceptional as a one-carat counterpart.

Color: Graded on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown) by the Gemological Institute of America, color denotes the presence of any color hue in a diamond. For our lab-grown diamonds at ELGA we introduce captivating colors like pink and blue, elevating them beyond the traditional color grading scale.

Clarity: Focused on imperfections or 'inclusions' within the diamond, clarity dictates its value. The fewer inclusions, the higher the clarity, and thus, greater value. Our lab-grown diamonds boast VVS Clarity, representing exceptional clarity with minimal imperfections.

In understanding the impact of these factors on lab-grown diamonds price and market value, it's evident that, akin to natural diamonds, ELGA prioritizes these criteria. Our meticulous diamond-cutting process not only amplifies brilliance but also elevates the intrinsic value of each stone.

With an array of carat weights, captivating colors, and impeccable clarity, all offered at a compelling price point, ELGA invites you to experience nothing short of the best in lab-grown diamonds.
