A PIVOTAL SHIFT FOR JEWELLERS

Lab-Grown vs Natural Diamonds: What Are the Key Differences?

The jewellery market is evolving fast, and lab-grown diamonds are emerging as a serious alternative to mined diamonds. Engineered through cutting-edge technology, these stones meet the rising expectations of both professionals and consumers when it comes to ethics, sustainability, and cost-efficiency.

What Is a Natural Diamond – and Why Has It Been So Coveted?

A natural diamond is a rare gemstone formed deep within the Earth under extreme pressure and temperature, over millions of years. Its rarity, brilliance, and rich heritage have long made it a symbol of luxury. However, diamond mining raises increasing concerns over its environmental footprint and social impact in extraction zones.

How Are Lab-Grown Diamonds Created?

In an industry long shaped by tradition, Geminove positions itself as a bold and forward-thinking force. Today, no other platform offers this level of specialisation in lab-grown diamonds, combined with a user experience crafted exclusively for jewellery professionals.

  • Did You Know ?

According to Frost & Sullivan, the global lab-grown diamond market is expected to hit $29.2 billion by 2025, with an average annual growth rate of 9.4%. A clear sign that sustainable and ethical sourcing is no longer optional—it’s the future.

Why Are Lab-Grown Diamonds Gaining Momentum?

 Ethical & Sustainable : No mining, reduced environmental impact, and traceable origins.

 Cost-Effective : On average 20% to 40% cheaper than natural diamonds, while offering similar quality.

 Consistent Supply : Controlled production enables better availability and customisation options.

Are Lab-Grown Diamonds Real?

Absolutely. Lab-grown diamonds have the same chemical composition and crystalline structure as mined diamonds. They are genuine gemstones, not simulants like moissanite or cubic zirconia.
