Do Lab Grown Diamonds Degrade Over Time?
Lab Grown Diamonds do not degrade over time. Just like Natural Diamonds, they are made of pure carbon arranged in a crystal structure that makes them one of the hardest and most durable materials on Earth. This means they resist scratching, fading, or clouding with age.
Whether created in a lab or formed underground over millions of years, a diamond's chemical and physical properties remain the same.
With proper care, a Lab Grown Diamond will retain its brilliance and beauty for generations. This makes Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Rings a lasting symbol of love, offering the same sparkle and strength as Natural Diamonds.
What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?
Lab Grown Diamonds are real diamonds that are created in a laboratory instead of forming naturally underground. They are made from carbon, just like Natural Diamonds, and have the same crystal structure.
Two main methods are used to grow these diamonds: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). HPHT replicates the high heat and pressure conditions found deep in the Earth, while CVD uses a gas mixture to form the diamond layer by layer.
Chemically and physically, Lab Grown Diamonds are identical to natural ones. They have the same hardness, brilliance, and clarity. In fact, they are graded using the same standards as Natural Diamonds.
Lab Grown Diamonds' Durability and Longevity
Lab Grown Diamonds are extremely durable, with a hardness rating of 10 on the Mohs scale, the highest possible. This means they are highly resistant to scratching and can withstand everyday wear without losing their shape or shine. Like Natural Diamonds, they do not cloud, fade, or wear down over time.
Compared to other gems and synthetic alternatives, Lab Grown Diamonds are far more resilient. For example, moissanite may look similar at first glance, but they are softer and more likely to scratch or dull with regular use.
Lab Grown Diamonds, on the other hand, maintain their brilliance and strength for a lifetime.
Do Lab-Grown Diamonds Change Over Time?
Lab Grown Diamonds remain stable over time. Lab Grown Diamonds are chemically and physically identical to Natural Diamonds, and they do not change or degrade with age.
They are made of pure carbon and have the same strong crystal structure as Mined Diamonds. This structure gives them long-lasting clarity and brilliance.
With proper care, a Lab Grown Diamond will stay just as beautiful as the day it was made. Regular cleaning, safe storage, and occasional professional inspections will help maintain its shine and ensure that the setting remains secure.
Lab Grown Diamonds in Jewelry
Lab Grown Diamonds are an increasingly popular choice for all types of fine jewelry, including engagement rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. They offer the same sparkle, strength, and timeless beauty as Natural Diamonds but are often more affordable and ethically sourced.
Because they are chemically and physically identical to Mined Diamonds, they can be cut and set in the same styles and settings.

These diamonds are graded for quality using the same standards (cut, color, clarity, and carat weight) and can be certified by respected gemological labs like GIA or IGI.
Their durability and versatility make them a smart, sustainable choice for anyone looking to invest in meaningful, high-quality jewelry.
Caring for a Lab-Grown Diamond
Lab Grown Diamonds are durable, but proper care helps keep them looking their best. To clean your diamond at home, soak it in a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the metal setting.
Also have your ring professionally inspected once or twice a year. A jeweler can check the setting to make sure the diamond is secure and hasn't loosened over time.
When you're not wearing your Lab Grown Diamond jewelry, store it separately in a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box to prevent scratches from other pieces.
With regular care and maintenance, your Lab Grown Diamond will retain its brilliance for years to come.
