WHAT IS A LAB-GROWN DIAMOND?

Carefully replicating nature’s process, Pandora Lab-Grown Diamonds are grown in a lab and carry the brilliance of the human touch.

Our diamond rough is grown using 100% renewable electricity before highly-skilled artisans painstakingly cut and polish the stones to exceptional standards, creating one-of-a-kind diamonds that are optically, chemically, thermally and physically identical to their mined counterparts.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS AND MINED DIAMONDS?

Lab-grown diamonds are optically, chemically, thermally and physically identical to their mined counterparts. The only difference is they're grown above ground.

WHY CHOOSE LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS?

Lab-grown diamonds share the same characteristics as mined diamonds, so you can find a forever stone without compromising on radiance. Pandora Lab-Grown Diamonds are crafted to exceptionally high standards when it comes to the 4Cs: cut, clarity, color and carat.

Since 2022, Pandora Lab-Grown diamonds have been grown, cut and polished using only renewable electricity and hand-set in jewelry crafted from 100% recycled silver and gold. Each lab-grown diamond has a two-year warranty, so you can trust that your forever piece will never lose its sparkle.

THE 4CS OF LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS

Optically, chemically, thermally and physically identical to mined diamonds, our lab-grown diamonds are held to the same standards of beauty and quality as their mined counterparts, known as the 4Cs: cut, clarity, color and carat.

Cut

We cut, polish and set every diamond by hand to ensure each one scintillates with eye-catching light. Our lab-grown diamonds .10 carat and above are round brilliant or square princess excellent cut – reflecting IGI standards.

Clarity

A lab-grown diamond’s clarity grade evaluates flawlessness, overall value and quality. All Pandora Lab-Grown Diamonds are flawless to the naked eye — VS+ quality or above.

Colour

Like a report card on how white or colourless a stone is, diamonds are graded from D to Z. When it comes to our lab-grown diamonds, only G-J (near colourless) make the grade for best-in-class brilliance.

Carat

Carat refers to the weight of a diamond, not the size. When you choose your Pandora Lab-Grown Diamond piece, you can be sure it always meets or exceeds the weight we promise.
