Lab Grown Diamonds vs Natural Diamonds
Two Origins. The Same Brilliance.
At ANOR, we offer Premium Grown Diamonds, chosen for their beauty, precision, and modern relevance. To make an informed choice, it helps to understand the difference.
Natural Diamonds
Natural diamonds are formed over billions of years beneath the earth’s surface.
They are rare by origin and valued for their geological history.
What defines them:
- Mined from the earth
- Artificial scarcity created by miners
- Higher price per carat
- Large pollution footprint to mine a diamond
Lab Created Diamonds
Lab created diamonds are grown in controlled environments that replicate natural conditions.
They are chemically, physically, and optically identical to earth created diamonds.
What defines them:
-
Same brilliance, fire, and hardness
-
Exceptional cut and clarity potential
-
More transparent sourcing
- Greater value for size and quality
ANOR craftsmen are trained in a proprietary diamond selection process that goes beyond cut, color, and clarity. We select only premium grown diamonds that demonstrate superior light performance, ensuring brilliance, fire, and reflection are optimized within the finished jewellery.
What’s the Difference You’ll See?
Simply put: none.
To the eye, a lab grown diamond and an earth created diamond are indistinguishable. Both are certified, both last forever, and both are worthy of life’s most important moments.
