Lab Diamonds vs Real Diamonds

Greetings from Plateau Jewelers, nestled in the picturesque town of Sammamish, WA. Today, we invite you on an enlightening journey to understand the nuanced differences between lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds, each holding a unique place in the realm of fine jewelry.

Lab Grown Diamonds: The Modern Craftsmanship

Lab Diamond Necklace - The Crafted Elegance: Lab-grown diamonds, while sharing the aesthetic qualities of natural diamonds, are creations of modern science. Crafted in state-of-the-art laboratories using techniques like HPHT and CVD, they replicate the beauty of natural diamonds. However, it's essential to recognize these as contemporary alternatives, offering a different kind of value compared to traditional diamonds.

The Time-Honored Splendor of Natural Diamonds

Natural Diamond Ring - The Earth's Masterpiece: Natural diamonds, with their story woven through millennia beneath the Earth's surface, emerge as symbols of rarity and timeless allure. At Plateau Jewelers, we cherish the journey of these natural wonders, each a unique testament to our planet's history and the art of meticulous mining.

The Diverse Paths to Brilliance

Both lab-grown and natural diamonds boast undeniable brilliance, making them visually captivating. The distinction lies in their origin and journey – the crafted precision of the lab versus the ancient emergence from the earth.

Pricing and Value: A Considered Choice

When it comes to pricing, lab diamonds come with a more accessible price tag. However, their market value can differ significantly from natural diamonds. We, at Plateau Jewelers, believe in transparently sharing this knowledge, enabling you to make an informed decision that aligns with your values and preferences.

Ethical Considerations and Environmental Stewardship

In an era where ethical choices and environmental impact are paramount, we understand the appeal of lab diamonds' reduced carbon footprint. Concurrently, we are committed to ethical sourcing of natural diamonds, celebrating advancements in sustainable mining practices.


Durability and Heirloom Quality

Irrespective of their origin, both lab-grown and natural diamonds score a perfect 10 on the Mohs hardness scale. This ensures that whichever choice you make at Plateau Jewelers, your diamond will stand the test of time.

Investment and Personal Value
