Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a lab-grown diamond?
A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond created in a controlled laboratory environment using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond formation process. It has the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds — made of pure carbon, rated 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, and identical in brilliance and fire.
Q: Are lab-grown diamonds IGI certified?
Yes. Every diamond from Minuoxi comes with an IGI (International Gemological Institute) certificate, guaranteeing the diamond's carat weight, color grade (D-E), clarity grade (VVS-VS), and cut quality.
Q: How do lab-grown diamonds compare to natural diamonds in price?
Lab-grown diamonds typically cost 70–85% less than natural diamonds of comparable quality. This allows you to choose a larger, higher-quality diamond at the same budget. A 2-carat lab-grown diamond may cost the same as a 0.5-carat natural diamond.
Q: Can you tell the difference between a lab-grown and a natural diamond?
No. Lab-grown and natural diamonds are visually identical. Even experienced jewelers cannot tell them apart without specialized equipment. The only difference is the origin — one is mined from the earth, the other is grown in a lab.
