Diamonds,
natural and laboratory grown
Can you spot the difference?
At A. Simmonds, we stock an extensive range of diamond set jewellery. Rings of the latest style can be produced with features that are unique for you.
Your diamond can be either of natural source or laboratory grown. Both are real diamonds, it’s just created either naturally over millions of years, or in a laboratory over no more than six months.
Laboratory grown diamonds have made luxury more affordable, and without the need for extra insurance cover. With just a glance through a magnifying glass, even experts are unable to identify a laboratory grown diamond from a naturally sourced diamond. It’s more scientific than that, requiring several scientific machines and an expert assessment.
Laboratory grown diamonds are pure carbon, the same as natural stones, and they actually sparkle more! This is because the quality is higher than that of natural diamonds sold in the average jewellery shop.
DID YOU KNOW?
A top grade natural one-carat diamond in a platinum mount is around ten times more expensive than its laboratory grown equivalent!
Choose a natural or laboratory grown diamond…
Then choose your unique mount…
