All you need to know about laboratory grown diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, created with advanced technology that mimics natural formation. They share the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds but are more sustainable, ethical, and affordable. Free from destructive mining and exploitative labor, they offer the same brilliance and durability—a modern, responsible choice revolutionizing the jewellery industry.

We make jewelry with a conscience

At Hinch & Liu, we uphold the highest standards of craftsmanship, ethics, and sustainability, redefining luxury with a conscience. Unlike traditional diamond mining, which disturbs vast areas of land—up to 100 square feet per carat—our lab-created diamonds are produced without disrupting a single inch of soil. Beyond sustainability, we prioritise people, ensuring a zero-injury workplace, unlike the mining industry, where one in every 1,000 workers faces harm.

Lab-grown diamonds vs. ice?

Lab-grown and mined diamonds are like freezer ice and Antarctic ice—both made of the same substance but formed in very different ways. Lab-grown diamonds, like freezer ice, are created quickly in a controlled environment, making them efficient, clear, and sustainable. Mined diamonds, like Antarctic ice, take millions of years to form naturally, carrying history and uniqueness but requiring extensive extraction. However, diamond mining is destructive, causing deforestation, habitat loss, and land damage. While lab-grown diamonds offer a more ethical and eco-friendly choice, mined diamonds hold rarity and tradition. In the end, both shine the same—it’s just a matter of preference.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

Lab-grown diamonds avoid the environmental damage caused by mining, such as deforestation, habitat destruction, and land degradation.

Affordable & Accessible

They cost up to 80% less than mined diamonds, making luxury more affordable without compromising beauty or durability.

High Quality & Customisable

Lab-grown diamonds are chemically identical to mined ones but often have fewer flaws and can be customised for colour, size, and clarity.

Ethically Sourced

Unlike some mined diamonds, which may be linked to unethical labour practices, lab-grown diamonds are produced in controlled conditions with fair wages and no conflict funding.
