So You’re Getting Engaged…
We’re so excited you found us! A lab diamond engagement ring may be the perfect fit for you - let’s dive into the details together.
What are Lab Grown Diamonds?
Lab grown diamonds are visually, molecularly and chemically identical to mined diamonds.
Unlike diamond alternatives like cubic zirconia, moissanite, and other simulates, lab grown diamonds are not a ‘diamond lookalike’. They are real diamonds.
In terms of appearance, hardness (10 out of 10), durability and beauty - lab grown diamonds are exactly the same as mined diamonds. The only physical difference is their origin.
Environmental Benefits of Lab Grown Diamonds:
While all diamonds we work with (lab diamonds or mined diamonds) are ethically sourced, lab diamonds have a smaller environmental impact. Because no mining is involved, the earth does not need to be disturbed to retrieve the stone. This creates a ripple effect, preserving nature and natural resources. Many of our clients in Toronto and across Canada are now opting for lab grown diamonds .
Maximizing Budget and Stone Size with Lab Grown Diamonds:
Another benefit of choosing a lab grown diamond is the ability to maximize your budget. In general, you’re able to achieve at least a 50 percent larger lab diamonds than mined diamond, for the same cost. For example, if your budget accommodates a 0.50 carat mined diamond, you can expect to achieve about a 1.50-2.00 carat lab diamond. This factor can make a big difference if you are hoping for the largest stone possible without compromising quality. Whether you are looking for an engagement ring, wedding ring or even a redesign of existing jewellery, Alexis Gallery sources the best lab grown diamonds in Toronto and in Canada.
