Since both naturally occurring and lab-grown diamonds share the same chemical makeup, they are both regarded as "real" diamonds. In reality, the Federal Trade Commission revised its regulations on lab-grown diamonds in 2018, concluding that they are, in fact, lab-grown diamonds rather than synthetic ones. Therefore, even though earth-made and lab-grown diamonds are both true diamonds composed of densely packed carbon atoms, many people believe that natural diamonds are the only "real" kind of diamonds. Due to their similar visual and chemical characteristics, they are both excellent gemstones that go well with any type of jewellery.
In a laboratory setting, lab-grown diamonds are formed through a process that emulates the natural growth of diamonds. Although they possess the same visual, chemical, and physical properties as natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds can be up to 85% less expensive and are considered a more eco-friendly choice compared to mined diamonds.
