Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes, lab grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. They are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. Made of pure carbon in a cubic crystal structure, they score 10/10 on the Mohs hardness scale the same as any diamond in the world. Every SVD Jewels diamond is IGJ certified to confirm this independently.

What does IGJ Certified mean and why does it matter?

IGJ (International Gemological Jewellery Laboratories) is an independent gemological authority in India. When a diamond is IGJ certified, it means a third-party expert has graded and confirmed its cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight. Every SVD Jewels piece ships with its IGJ certificate proof that what you see on the website is exactly what you receive.

Why are lab grown diamonds so much more affordable?

Lab grown diamonds are 60–80% more affordable than mined diamonds of equivalent quality because they skip the entire mining supply chain, no extraction costs, no multi-layer distribution, no scarcity markup. This means when you buy lab grown diamonds online from SVD Jewel, the same budget buys a larger, higher-clarity stone than you could ever get from a mined diamond retailer.
