Everything You Need to Know About MARQA and Lab-Grown Diamonds
1. What is a lab-grown diamond?
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds created in highly controlled laboratory environments that replicate the Earth’s natural diamond-growing process. They have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds.
2. Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are 100% real. They are graded and certified by the same gemological labs (like IGI or GIA) as natural diamonds.
3. Can people tell the difference between lab-grown and natural diamonds?
No. Visually, lab-grown and natural diamonds are indistinguishable—even to professional gemologists without advanced equipment.

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds typically cost 30–50% less than natural diamonds of similar quality, allowing you to purchase a larger or higher-quality stone within your budget.
