FAQ

Lab grown diamond earrings feature diamonds created in controlled laboratory environments using CVD or HPHT processes. These diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds and are graded and certified by IGI or SGL using the same 4C standards - carat, cut, colour, and clarity. They offer the same brilliance at a significantly lower price point than mined diamonds.
Lab grown diamond earrings are typically priced 40-70% lower than equivalent mined diamond earrings. Pricing varies by carat weight, cut quality, metal type, and jeweller. A well-cut 1ct pair of lab grown diamond stud earrings in 14KT gold generally costs less than a comparable mined diamond pair. Prices also vary with prevailing gold rates.
Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds. They share the same chemical composition (pure carbon), crystal structure, refractive index, and hardness (10 on the Mohs scale) as mined diamonds. They are not simulants like cubic zirconia or moissanite. Independent gemological institutes including IGI and SGL certify lab grown diamonds with the same grading criteria applied to mined stones.
Lab grown diamond earrings retain value, though resale markets are still developing. Reputable jewellers like Lucira offer structured buyback and exchange programmes - Lucira provides 90% lifetime buyback and 100% lifetime exchange - which provides a more predictable ownership experience than attempting open-market resale.
The 1ct total weight stud earring (0.50ct per ear) is the most popular choice for everyday wear, offering visible brilliance without being distracting. For a statement look, 2ct total weight (1ct per ear) provides high visibility. For subtle daily wear, 0.50ct total (0.25ct per ear) is a clean, minimal choice.
For buyers who value certified diamond quality, IGI/SGL grading, and everyday wearability at a price that is 40-70% lower than mined diamonds, lab grown diamond earrings offer excellent value. The diamonds are identical in optical and physical properties to mined stones. The decision comes down to personal values: if origin matters more than chemistry, mined diamonds may be the preference. For most everyday buyers, lab grown is a highly rational choice.
The diamonds in lab grown earrings are created in a laboratory using CVD or HPHT technology, producing a diamond with the same carbon structure, hardness, refractive index, and brilliance as a mined stone. The primary differences are origin, environmental impact, and price. Lab grown diamonds are generally 40-70% less expensive and have a lower carbon footprint from extraction, though manufacturing energy use is a consideration.
Look for IGI (International Gemological Institute) or SGL (Solitaire Gemological Laboratories) certification. Both are widely accepted, standardised, and independently issued. The certificate should specify that the diamond is laboratory grown, and include grades for carat, cut, colour, and clarity. Avoid purchasing certified lab grown diamonds where the certificate cannot be verified against the institute's online lookup.
Diamonds score 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them the hardest naturally occurring material and highly resistant to scratching. Lab grown diamond earrings are appropriate for daily wear. Standard care applies: avoid exposure to harsh chemicals like bleach, store separately to prevent scratching of other jewellery, and clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
Clean lab grown diamond earrings with warm water, a small amount of mild dish soap, and a soft-bristle brush. Gently scrub the setting and diamond surface, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for earrings with pavé settings or delicate prong work, as vibration can loosen stones over time. Professional cleaning at your jeweller is recommended annually.
14KT gold is the most practical choice for daily wear - it is harder and more resistant to scratching than 18KT gold. 18KT gold contains a higher gold content and is a better choice for those with metal sensitivities. White gold is a popular choice for its neutral tone, which allows diamonds to read bright. Yellow gold creates a warmer, more traditional look. Platinum is the most durable but also the most expensive.
All Lucira lab grown diamond earrings come with IGI or SGL certification. The certificate documents the diamond's carat weight, cut grade, colour grade, and clarity grade - as well as the fact that it is laboratory grown. The certificate is issued independently of Lucira and can be verified directly with the certifying institute.
