Lab-Grown Diamond Vs Mined Diamond

Lab-Grown vs. Natural Diamonds: Understanding Your Options

Empowering Your Choice with Ever Jewels


“At first glance, can you tell the difference?”

What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds made in advanced labs using technologies like HPHT or CVD. They’re chemically and visually identical to mined diamonds — just with a different origin.


“Diamonds created through science, with the same sparkle.”

What Are Natural Diamonds?

Natural diamonds are formed deep within the Earth over billions of years. Each one is shaped by nature, carrying a unique formation story.


“Born from Earth. Billions of years in the making.”
