Natural Diamond

Lab Grown

The difference between natural diamonds and lab grown diamonds

For avid sparkle-seekers, a natural diamond might just edge it over a lab grown stone, and here’s why:
  • Lab grown diamonds can be made in around 6-10 weeks, whereas natural diamonds that can be mined today would’ve formed anywhere between 1 – 3.3 billion years ago.
  • Every mined natural diamond is unique, adding to their value. Lab-grown diamonds can be manufactured to meet consumer demand, and though they are undeniably beautiful, many collectors and buyers believe that there’s an amazing mystique around natural diamonds.

How much do mined diamonds cost?

Oftentimes, a natural diamond price tag can be double that of a lab grown diamond. This is due to the fact that mined diamonds go through a rigorous creation process — both in terms of how they’re formed naturally, and how they’re transported and carved. As we’ve explored, their natural formation means that every natural diamond is unique, and this adds to their market value.

What is the highest carat natural diamond to be mined?

The Cullinan Diamond is the largest rough, gem-quality diamond ever found. It weighed 3,106.75 carats or 621.35 grams, and it was discovered in Cullinan, South Africa at the Premier No. 2 mine on 26th January 1905.

The diamond was named after the chairman of the mine, Thomas Cullinan, who went on to have an impressive career in -the chairman of the mine. The Cullinan was responsible for producing an array of stones of different sizes and cuts.
