At Diamonds by Magnús James, we believe in transparency—just like our stones. One of the most common questions we hear is: What’s the difference between lab-grown and earth-mined diamonds?
The answer might surprise you.
Visually & Chemically Identical
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. They share the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as those mined from the earth. The difference lies in their origin: one is grown in a lab using advanced technology, the other formed beneath the earth’s surface over billions of years.
Ethically Elevated
Lab-grown diamonds are a conscious choice. They require no large-scale mining, drastically reducing environmental impact. And because they’re traceable, you can feel confident in the ethics behind every sparkle.
More Brilliance for Your Budget
Because lab-created diamonds bypass costly mining and middlemen, you get a larger, higher-quality stone—without compromising on beauty or integrity.
