Our dream jewelry collection? One word: diamonds. Diamond necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings — all diamond, everything. But this dream is just that: a dream. Diamonds are beautiful, but they can be very, very expensive.
This is where lab-grown diamond jewelry saves the day. A cheaper, more ethical alternative that allows you to buy more diamonds for less? Yes, please! Now, we know shoppers have many questions about the difference between lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds, so let Us give you the lowdown before we show you our favorite Blue Nile pieces!
Are Lab-Grown Diamonds Real Diamonds?
Yes! 100%. Lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds have the same visual and chemical components, making them virtually identical. Same sparkle, same beauty, same brilliance, same longevity.
Lab-grown diamonds are not synthetic diamonds! They are real diamonds in every way.
So, Why Buy Lab-Grown Diamonds Over Natural Diamonds?
If lab-grown diamonds are the same as natural diamonds, what’s the point of switching? There are a couple of popular reasons. One is the price. Since lab-grown diamonds do not have the same rarity as natural diamonds, they can be priced much lower — meaning we can buy more!
Ethical and environmental considerations are also huge factors. Luckily, all of Blue Nile’s diamonds are ethically-sourced and conflict-free, but in general, if you prefer non-mined diamonds, lab-grown is the way to go!
What Kind of Lab-Grown Diamond Jewelry Can I Buy?
Engagement rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets — you name it. Blue Nile has all types of lab-grown diamond jewelry for all preferences and budgets, even with different carat weights.
