ABOUT OUR DIAMONDS
Lab-Grown Diamonds
Our diamonds are sustainably grown in laboratories. This means no Environmental Pollution, Wildlife Displacement, Groundwater Pollution, Deforestation, Cartel Pricing, Child Labor, and Displacement of Local Communities.
Real Diamonds
Our diamonds are grown in laboratories using modern technology that follows the same process nature uses underground. The result is the same diamond — simply formed above ground rather than mined from the earth.
You can think of it like this: forming a diamond in a lab is a bit like ice freezing outdoors versus ice made in a freezer. Same substance, same structure, no digging.
According to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, lab-grown diamonds are chemically, optically, and physically identical to mined diamonds. There’s no difference you can see or feel.
Growing Diamonds
Each diamond begins with a tiny piece of carbon, known as a seed. This seed is placed in a controlled chamber that recreates the heat and pressure found deep within the earth.
Over time — usually around 6 to 12 weeks — the diamond grows atom by atom, forming a rough stone that’s the same as one formed in a mine.
Where it makes a difference
The difference isn’t the diamond itself — it’s the process behind it. Because there’s no mining involved, lab-grown diamonds avoid much of the environmental disruption associated with extraction. The controlled environment also allows for more consistent quality and fewer variables along the way.
Without the costs of mining and long supply chains, lab-grown diamonds are typically around 30–50% more accessible in price than mined diamonds of similar quality.
Why we choose them at Finer
At Finer, we care about how our jewellery feels to wear — and how it fits into real life.
Lab-grown diamonds offer the same beauty and integrity as mined diamonds, with a more thoughtful approach behind them. They allow us to focus on design, craftsmanship, and everyday wear — without added markups or unnecessary complexity.
Just a diamond — chosen with care.
The 5c's of Diamonds
At Finer, we assess diamonds through five Cs. The four Cs—colour, clarity, cut and carat—define quality. The fifth C, Considered, defines intent: thoughtful choices in design, materials and proportion, so each diamond feels balanced, lasting, and right for real life.
