Our Inception Story

In 2004, Co-Founder and CEO Alice Smith embarked on a quest for an ethical, sustainable, and traceable diamond , only to find the market lacking. Determined to redefine the standards of the diamond industry, he envisioned a symbol of love that not only sparkled but also honored the planet and its future. Teaming up with Bob Johnson, Alice established Lavish in 2005, marking the beginning of a journey to revolutionize sustainability and ethics within the diamond landscape.

From our initial stride to the present day, we've reshaped the sourcing, crafting, selling, and wearing of diamond. We refuse to settle for anything less than excellence in quality and conscience—and neither do our valued customers.

WHY LAB GROWN DIAMONDS?

Conflict-Free

Pure Lab diamonds are assuredly conflict-free and ethically pure. Plus, the environment is also left unharmed.

Genuine

The diamonds we make are exactly identical to the natural ones as they are 100% crystallized carbon and share the same properties.

Eco-conscious

Unlike mined diamonds where more than 100sq ft of land is destroyed. These diamonds are built in labs, causing no harm whatsoever.

Value

Lab-grown diamonds offer great value for money and is scientifically proven to be more affordable.

Quality

Diamonds that are grown in labs have the same thermal conductivity and hardness that is seen in the naturally mined diamonds.

Certified

CVD diamonds are graded by an independent diamond grading laboratory called International Gemological Institution.

ABOUT LAB GROWN DIAMONDS

Lab-grown diamond also called laboratory-grown, laboratory-created, man-made, artisan-created, artificial, synthetic, or cultured diamond is diamond that is produced in a controlled technological process. Unlike diamond simulants, synthetic diamonds are composed of9 the same material as naturally formed diamonds—pure carbon crystallized in an isotropic 3D form—and share identical chemical and physical properties.

Both CVD and HPHT diamonds can be cut into gems and various colors can be produced: clear white, yellow, brown, blue, green and orange.

Lab Grown Diamonds vs. Natural Diamonds

Without specialized equipment, you won't be able to tell the difference between a lab grown or a natural diamond — they appear the same. The only noticeable difference between them is their origin: one was formed deep within the Earth, the other was grown in a lab.

Our lab grown diamonds display the same physical, chemical, and optical characteristics as natural diamonds, and exhibit the same fire, scintillation, and sparkle. Lab created diamonds may exhibit different trace elements than natural diamonds that do not affect the appearance of the diamond. Lab created diamonds can be distinguished from natural diamonds only with tests using specialized equipment.
