Are Lab Grown Diamonds the Future Every Jeweler Is Trying to Hide? In recent years, lab-grown diamonds have exploded in popularity, becoming a hot topic in the jewelry industry. From skilled jewelers to major retail chains, there’s a palpable buzz around these technologically created stones—raising a key question: Are lab-grown diamonds the future of fine jewelry? And more importantly, why are so many jewelers seemingly trying to keep this trend under wraps? ### What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds? Lab-grown diamonds, also known as cultured or synthetic diamonds, are real diamonds formed in controlled environments using advanced technologies like High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Unlike simulated gemstones such as cubic zirconia or moissanite, lab diamonds share the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds—brilliance, fire, and durability—making them indistinguishable to the naked eye.
