Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. Lab grown diamonds are composed of pure carbon arranged in the same crystal structure as earth-mined diamonds. They are physically, chemically, and optically identical to natural diamonds.

How are lab grown diamonds made?

Lab grown diamonds are produced via HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) or CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) processes that replicate the conditions under which natural diamonds form. The result is a genuine diamond crystal grown in weeks rather than millions of years.

Are lab grown diamond earrings certified?

Yes. Our lab grown diamonds are graded by IGI (International Gemological Institute) and GIA (Gemological Institute of America) using the same 4C standards - cut, color, clarity, and carat weight - applied to all diamonds.

What earring styles do you carry?

We carry studs, hoops, drop, dangle, cluster, and halo settings across a wide range of carat weights and diamond shapes. From 0.25 ctw starter studs to 5.00 ctw statement pieces for any occasion.

Can I customize my lab grown diamond earrings?

Yes. Metal type, setting style, carat weight, and diamond shape can all be customized. Our in-store design team works with you to build exactly what you have in mind. Schedule an appointment to get started.

What metals are available for lab grown diamond earrings?

Our lab grown diamond earrings are available in 14k white gold, 14k yellow gold, 14k rose gold, and platinum. Our specialists can help you choose the metal that best complements your style and skin tone.

Do you offer financing for lab grown diamond earrings?

Yes. Flexible financing options are available in store at all seven Brownlee Jewelers locations. Ask a specialist about current plans when you visit.

How do I care for lab grown diamond earrings?

Clean with mild soap and warm water using a soft-bristle brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners for delicate settings. All Brownlee Jewelers locations offer complimentary cleaning and inspection services.
