FAQs About Luxsong Jewelry: What You Need to Know

Common Questions About Lab-Grown Diamonds

Q1: Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes, absolutely! Lab-grown diamonds are genuine diamonds. They share the exact same physical, chemical, and optical properties as diamonds mined from the earth. At Luxsong, we choose lab-grown because it provides the same beautiful sparkle without ethical or environmental concerns.

Q2: How are lab-grown diamonds created?

Lab-grown diamonds are produced using advanced technologies (such as High Pressure High Temperature or Chemical Vapor Deposition) that replicate the natural diamond-forming process. Instead of mining, they're responsibly created in controlled labs—making them environmentally friendly and ethically sound.

Q3: Can you tell the difference between lab-grown and mined diamonds?

Not with the naked eye. Even expert jewelers and gemologists rely on specialized equipment to distinguish lab-grown from mined diamonds. When you wear a lab-grown diamond, you're getting the exact same sparkle and brilliance as a mined stone.

Q4: Are lab-grown diamonds more affordable?

Yes—typically about 20–80% less expensive than comparable mined diamonds. Choosing lab-grown means your money can go further, whether toward a larger diamond, better clarity, or a unique custom setting. At Luxsong, we believe your budget should reflect quality and meaning—not inflated prices.

Q5: Do lab-grown diamonds hold their value?

Lab-grown diamonds generally don’t retain resale value as strongly as mined diamonds, but most people buy diamonds for their personal significance, not as investments. Our customers prioritize meaningful, responsibly sourced jewelry over speculative resale values.

Q6: Are lab-grown diamonds environmentally friendly?

Absolutely. Lab-grown diamonds significantly reduce the environmental impact typically associated with mining, such as deforestation, water pollution, and habitat disruption. They offer a cleaner, more sustainable choice.

Q7: Can lab-grown diamonds be certified?

Yes. All Luxsong diamonds 0.5 carats and above come with an IGI (International Gemological Institute) certificate, ensuring complete transparency, detailed grading, and peace of mind about your purchase.

Q8: Do lab-grown diamonds come in different colors?

Yes—they’re available in various colors, from stunning whites to beautiful fancy colors like pink, yellow, and blue. Lab-grown diamonds allow you to access rare and unique color options that can be prohibitively expensive in mined diamonds, making your custom jewelry even more personal.

Q9: Are lab-grown diamonds suitable for engagement rings?

Absolutely! Lab-grown diamonds are every bit as strong, durable, and brilliant as mined diamonds, making them perfect for engagement rings. Many couples appreciate that choosing lab-grown diamonds aligns with modern, ethical values.

Q10: How should I care for lab-grown diamond jewelry?

Care for your lab-grown diamond jewelry exactly as you would a mined diamond. Use mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth for regular cleaning. Occasionally check settings and prongs to ensure your diamond stays securely in place. Simple care keeps your diamond sparkling for generations.
