Top 3 Reasons to Buy Lab-Grown Diamond Jewellery
Lab-grown diamonds and gemstones are already taking the world by storm. So, it’s high time you got in on the scoop too.
1. Bigger, Better, Cheaper
Sure, diamond engagement rings represent the unique emotion of love, but let’s be honest, for the receiver, they also demonstrate distinction.
In fact, according to a survey conducted by Beyond 4cs, women cared about the ring design and carat size the most in a diamond engagement ring, whereas men cared more about the cost as they were the ones paying for the ring.
Fortunately, lab-grown diamond engagement rings seem to solve both problems because not only do labouratory-grown diamonds look as beautiful as their earth-mined counterparts, but they’re also equally real and durable. And all this for a fraction of the cost? Sign us up!

Since that iconic moment, we’ve seen more celebs everywhere jump on the lab-grown bandwagon. Take the extravagant lab-grown diamond necklace that Gigi Hadid rocked at this year’s Met Gala, for example. It totally ate and left no crumbs behind.

Busting 4 Common Myths About Lab-Grown Diamonds
Despite their popularity, there are still several myths and misconceptions that are often associated with lab-grown diamonds. And therefore, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to separate these myths from facts so you can shop for lab-grown diamond jewellery without any apprehensions.
1. Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Fake or Artificial
This is probably one of the most common myths out there and spoiler alert, it couldn’t be further from the truth.
As indicated by their name, lab-grown diamonds are made in a labouratory, using cutting-edge technology that mimics the environment in which natural stones are formed on the earth, only faster. Because they are created in this manner, lab-grown diamonds are considered to be real in every way and are therefore, chemically, physically and optically identical to naturally-occurring diamonds.
2. Lab-Grown and Mined Diamonds Look Different
Did you know? In the Queensmith pool, when people were asked whether they’ll be able to tell a mined diamond from one that was lab-grown, almost 40% said no …even with a microscope!
Lab-grown gems are visually indistinguishable from their mined counterparts. This essentially means that you’d need superpowers to spot any difference between the two with your naked eye.
So, the next time you think of depriving yourself of our lab-grown rings for women because you’re worried about what people will say, remember, they won’t even know.
3. They Aren’t as Durable as Natural Diamonds
As touched upon before, lab-grown diamonds are created by mimicking the environmental conditions needed to produce mined diamonds. This includes the pressure needed to form these stones. And therefore, lab-grown diamonds have the same quality, durability and other physical attributes as their natural counterparts.
As a matter of fact, Angara even gives the same warranty and insurance for lab-grown diamond and gemstone jewellery as their natural gemstone jewellery because of their similarities.
4. You Can’t Get Lab-Grown Stones in Colour
At Angara, we have several lab-grown coloured gemstones ranging from sapphires to emeralds. As with our diamonds, each of our lab-grown coloured gemstone jewellery pieces is strikingly gorgeous, but they just cost lesser for reasons already known to you.
