Frequently Asked Questions
How are lab-grown diamonds different from mined diamonds?
Lab-grown and mined diamonds differ mainly in how they are formed, their rarity and their price. Mined diamonds are rarer, while lab-grown diamonds are often more affordable. Like mined diamonds, they are graded using the same 'Four Cs' quality scale and can be white or created in colours such as pink or blue.
What’s the difference between lab-grown diamonds and simulated diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds and have the same properties as mined diamonds, including the same brilliance and scintillation. Simulated diamonds, such as cubic zirconia, are not diamonds and do not have the same properties or sparkle.
Why choose lab-grown diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds have the same physical, optical and chemical properties as mined diamonds, often at a more affordable price. QVC UK’s lab-grown diamonds are also independently graded for cut, clarity, colour and carat, so you can shop with confidence.
What should I consider when buying lab-grown diamonds?
As with mined diamonds, it’s worth considering the Four Cs: cut, colour, clarity and carat weight. You may also want to look at certification, setting style and metal type to find the design that suits you best. At QVC UK, lab-grown diamonds are available in rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets, set in precious metals including white gold, yellow gold and platinum.
How do I care for my lab-grown diamonds?
Clean with mild soap and a soft brush to keep your jewellery sparkling.
