Why Choose Lab-Grown Diamonds?

Over half of newly engaged couples are now choosing laboratory diamond engagement rings. More cost-effective than natural diamonds, they let you show your eternal love at a lower price, with a few extra carats to match.

Advanced technological processes are used to replicate the intense heat and pressure conditions deep within the Earth that lead to the creation of natural diamonds. These lab-grown diamonds are optically identical to natural diamonds. However, the lab-creation process guarantees they’re conflict-free diamonds, eliminating concerns about mining practices.

Couples today often choose between lab-grown and natural diamonds based on their values and preferences. Some prefer the modern innovation of lab-grown options, while others favour the ancient geological journey of natural stones.

Both represent genuine diamonds with the same brilliance and durability; they simply have different origin stories.

Expertly Cut Stones

Once you’ve chosen to go with a lab-grown diamond ring, you’ll discover the artistry behind each expert cut. Every facet is precisely positioned to maximise brilliance and create that extra sparkle that catches the light from every angle. Facets are the flat, polished surfaces cut into a diamond in geometric patterns to reflect light.

We supply all kinds of shapes, each with a unique character. 

• Oval: Rapidly becoming the most coveted choice, the oval engagement ring is considered a “fancy” diamond shape. It has a distinctive, non-traditional cut with remarkable character. Its elongated design creates the illusion of being larger than other shapes of the same carat weight.
• Round: The round-cut lab-grown diamond delivers unmatched brilliance with its expertly crafted 58 facets. Regardless of carat weight, this timeless cut looks dazzling whether set in a classic solitaire or stacked in a trilogy design.
• Radiant: Radiant cut diamond engagement rings beautifully merge the refined elegance of a rectangular silhouette with the exceptional brilliance of a round cut. These diamonds highlight the lab-grown diamond’s sparkle alongside a geometric design that flatters every hand beautifully.
• Emerald: Emerald cut diamond engagement rings feature a large rectangular shape with a signature step-cut pattern. This sophisticated cut emphasises clarity and the natural sparkle through its broad, open facets and timelessly elegant lines.
• Marquise: Popular in vintage-inspired halo designs, marquise-cut lab-grown engagement rings showcase an elegantly elongated, oval shape with distinctive pointed tips. The shape naturally enhances sparkle while creating a refined presence.
• Princess: Princess-cut lab-grown diamonds have a contemporary square shape with precise, sharp lines. This modern cut offers effortless style and contemporary elegance that speaks to today’s discerning bride.
• Pear: Capturing the timeless elegance of a teardrop silhouette, pear-cut lab diamond engagement rings are enhanced by brilliant faceting. This uniquely shaped cut delivers exceptional sparkle while creating a distinctive, elongated appearance.
• Heart: The eternal symbol of love, heart-shaped lab-made diamond engagement rings feature a perfectly symmetrical heart silhouette. With graceful curves and radiant sparkle, this cut creates an unmistakably romantic statement piece.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lab Diamond Rings

It’s natural to have questions about engagement rings with lab diamonds. Let’s walk through them together. To get started, read the answers to common questions on this innovative alternative to mined diamonds.

How much should you spend on an engagement ring?

How much to spend on an engagement ring has likely been debated as long as the tradition of proposing with a ring has existed. In his five decades in the industry, Bercotts jeweller David Bercott has heard variations of one to three months’ salary.

Bercott advises that you should spend what you can afford. When you visit Bercotts Jewellers, we help you find the perfect engagement ring at the right price point.

Lab-grown stones are typically between 30% and 70% cheaper than earth-mined diamonds. That means you can buy a diamond ring well within your budget without compromising size, sparkle or quality.

The final cost of your ring will also depend on your chosen metal. We offer various elegant settings in yellow gold, rose gold, white gold and platinum to suit every style and budget.

How are lab-grown diamonds created?

Lab-grown diamonds are created using advanced technology that replicates the natural process of diamond formation. The only difference is that instead of taking millions of years underground, these diamonds form in weeks using two primary methods: CVD (chemical vapour deposition) and HPHT (high-pressure high temperature).

• CVD Method: A diamond seed is placed in a chamber with carbon-rich gas at extremely high temperatures. The carbon particles attach to the seed and crystallise into a diamond. This method typically produces higher-quality gems.
• HPHT Method: Electric pulses compress pure carbon in a metal cube under intense heat and pressure. The carbon breaks down and crystallises into diamond form. While metal traces may be present, they’re typically not visible to the naked eye.

Both methods create authentic diamonds with identical properties to natural diamonds.
