Confused between Natural & Lab Grown? Zooni is here to help

When it comes to diamonds, one size—or type—doesn’t fit all. At Zooni, we believe in celebrating choice, individuality, and informed decisions. Whether you’re drawn to the mystique of a natural diamond or the innovation of a lab grown one, there’s no right or wrong—just what feels right for you.

Our goal is simple: to offer transparency, quality, and beauty in every piece we create. So, let’s dive into the world of diamonds and explore what sets natural and lab grown diamonds apart—and why both deserve a place in a modern woman’s wardrobe.

✨ What Are Natural Diamonds?

Natural diamonds are formed over billions of years deep within the Earth’s mantle. Under intense heat and pressure, carbon atoms crystallize into what we know as diamonds—nature’s most dazzling creation.

Why People Love Them:

• Timelessness: Natural diamonds have been worn for centuries. They’re heirlooms in the making.
• Rarity: Formed over millennia, no two are exactly alike.
• Emotional connection: Some buyers value the natural origin as part of the story behind the stone.

💎 What Are Lab Grown Diamonds?

Lab grown diamonds are created in highly controlled environments that replicate the natural diamond-growing process, but in a fraction of the time.

Key point: Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds. The sparkle, brilliance, and hardness—it’s all there.

🔬 HPHT vs CVD: How Lab Grown Diamonds Are Made

There are two main ways to create lab diamonds:

1. HPHT (High Pressure, High Temperature)
This method mimics the Earth’s natural process. Carbon is subjected to extreme pressure and temperature to form a diamond crystal.

• HPHT diamonds can sometimes show metallic inclusions.
• They may be harder to consistently produce in high clarity and color grades.

2. CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition)
This advanced method involves placing a carbon-rich gas in a chamber and slowly crystallizing carbon atoms onto a diamond seed.

Why CVD is Preferred at Zooni:

• Produces cleaner, higher clarity stones
• Greater control over color and purity
• Lower likelihood of metallic inclusions
• More sustainable energy usage in some cases

At Zooni, when we offer lab grown diamonds, we prefer CVD-grown stones for their exceptional quality and consistency. In some cases where CVD is not available, we use HPHT diamonds.

💬 Common Questions

❓ Do lab diamonds sparkle like natural ones?
Yes. To the naked eye, and even under a microscope, both shine with the same fire and brilliance. We look after the 4C’s and beyond while offering you the best diamonds in each category.

❓ Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?
Absolutely. Lab grown diamonds are not simulants like cubic zirconia or moissanite. They are real diamonds, just with a different origin story.

❓ Is one better than the other?
It depends on your priorities.

• Looking for a rare geological marvel? Natural diamonds win.
• Want a modern, often more budget-friendly option? Lab grown is a beautiful choice. Many people view heirlooms as items of sentimental value, and there’s no reason why a lab grown diamond piece cannot hold that.
