Round Cut Six-Prong Lab-Grown Diamond Stud Earrings

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. They share the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as natural diamonds. The key difference lies in their origin: while natural diamonds form deep within the Earth over millions of years, lab-grown diamonds are created in high-tech facilities that replicate those same conditions. Both are equally brilliant and durable — only expert gemologists using specialized equipment can tell them apart.

Unlike natural diamonds, which take 1 to 3 million years to form, lab-grown diamonds can be created in just 2 to 6 weeks. With the help of advanced technology, these diamonds are grown efficiently without compromising on quality or beauty.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds typically cost 15% to 30% less than natural diamonds. This price difference is due to the shorter supply chain and more efficient production process — allowing you to get more size or better quality at a better value.

Lab-grown diamonds should be cleaned the same way as natural ones. Over time, they can collect dirt, oils, and residue that dull their shine. To maintain brilliance, gently clean your jewelry using warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Regular care keeps your diamonds looking radiant.

In most cases, no. Standard tools like loupes and microscopes are not enough to distinguish lab-grown from natural diamonds. Only certified gemologists or advanced labs with proper testing equipment can accurately identify a diamond’s origin. That’s why every Adara diamond comes with an IGI certificate for full transparency.
