Question 1

What are lab-grown diamonds?

Accepted Answer

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds created in a lab using advanced technology. They have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds.

Question 2

Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

Accepted Answer

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are 100% real. They are certified and graded just like mined diamonds.

Question 3

How are lab-grown diamonds made?

Accepted Answer

They are made using two methods: HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) or CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition), replicating the natural diamond-growing process. We prefer and use the CVD method.

Question 4

Do lab-grown diamonds look different from natural diamonds?

Accepted Answer

No — they are visually identical. Even trained gemologists cannot distinguish a lab-grown diamond from a mined one without specialised equipment.

Question 5

Will a lab-grown diamond last forever?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Just like mined diamonds, they score 10 on the Mohs hardness scale and are extremely durable — built to last a lifetime.

Question 6

Why should I choose lab-grown over natural diamonds?

Accepted Answer

Lab-grown diamonds offer the same beauty at a better price, with ethical sourcing and lower environmental impact. Orion also provides an 80% buyback guarantee on all purchases.

Question 7

Absolutely. At Orion, we craft each piece to match your vision — from rings to earrings, every design is tailored to your style and preferences. Use our customisation form or contact us to get started.

Question 8

Are your diamonds certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All our diamonds come with IGI (International Gemological Institute) certification, graded on the same 4Cs as mined diamonds. They are inscribed as 'LAB GROWN' for complete transparency.
