Lab-Grown Diamond Guide

What is a lab-grown diamond?

A lab-grown (laboratory-created) diamond is made of carbon arranged in the same crystal structure as a mined diamond, so it has the same hardness, brilliance and fire. It is grown using CVD or HPHT technology rather than formed underground.

How is it graded?

Lab-grown diamonds are graded on the same 4Cs as mined diamonds: cut, colour, clarity and carat. Independent labs such as IGI and GIA issue reports that state the stone is laboratory-grown.

How do I know it is lab-grown?

Every Vibama Jewels product page states that the stone is lab-grown, and certified stones carry a report number you can check on the lab’s website.
