Let's delve into the myths and facts of lab-grown diamonds!

Myth #1

Lab-grown diamonds are not as real.
Fact: Lab-grown diamonds are as real as diamonds found in nature! They possess the same chemical composition, the same sparkle, the same hardness. Think of it like this - it's like baking a cake. Whether you use your home oven or a fancy bakery, the final product is still a delicious cake!

Myth #2

Lab-grown diamonds can't be fancy colours.
Fact: Oh, but they can! Scientists can introduce elements during the growth process, creating stunning blues, pinks and yellows - a rainbow of possibilities!

Myth #3

Lab-grown diamonds are less durable than natural diamonds.
Fact: Diamonds are the hardest known natural material, and this applies to both lab-grown and natural diamonds! They are equally resistant to scratches, chipping, and wear. They're built to last, whichever their origin.

Myth #4

Lab-grown diamonds will flood the market and become worthless!
While the production of lab-grown diamonds is increasing, the diamond industry has a strong system of regulation and grading. This ensures that the value of both types of diamonds remain protected. Think of it like the introduction of cultured pearls - it broadened the market but didn't diminish the value of natural pearls.
