Why "Lab Diamonds" over "Mined Diamonds"

There are several reasons why someone might choose a lab-grown diamond over a mined diamond. 

Here are some of the most common factors:

1. Cost Savings 💰

• Lab-grown diamonds are typically 20-50% cheaper than mined diamonds of the same quality.  (Because of our higher buying power TLD can offer a Lab Diamond some 70-80% off for the same grade of mined diamond.)

• Since Lab-Grown Diamonds are produced in controlled environments, they avoid the high costs associated with mining, transportation, and markups.
  
  
  

2. Ethical & Conflict-Free 🌍

• Lab diamonds are guaranteed to be conflict-free, whereas some mined diamonds may come from conflict zones ("blood diamonds") where mining profits fund unethical practices.

• No risk of human rights violations (such as child labor or unsafe working conditions).
  
  
  

3. Environmentally Friendly 🌱

• Diamond mining causes deforestation, habitat destruction, and soil erosion.

• It takes up to 250 tons of earth moved, sorted, cleaned and processed to mine a single carat of a mined diamond. Every step in the process is not environmentally friendly. 

• Lab diamonds require far less energy and leave a smaller carbon footprint.
  
  
  

4. Identical to Mined Diamonds 💎

• Same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds (both are pure carbon, crystallized in the same structure).

• Even expert gemologists need specialized equipment to distinguish them.
  
  
  

5. Higher Purity & Quality 🔬

• Lab diamonds often have fewer inclusions and flaws than mined diamonds since they grow in a controlled environment.

• They can have higher clarity and more consistent quality.
  
  
  

6. Customization & Availability 🎨

• Lab-grown diamonds can be produced in specific sizes, and shapes more easily than mined diamonds.
  
  
  

7. Widely Increasing Acceptance 💍

• Many luxury jewelers and engagement ring buyers are shifting to lab diamonds.

• Public perception is changing, with younger generations prioritizing sustainability and value.
