lab-grown diamonds
Factory-made precious stones
Lab-grown diamonds are diamonds produced in controlled industrial settings rather than mined from the earth.
They have the same chemical composition and crystal structure as natural diamonds but cost significantly less.
The jewelry industry markets them as ethical alternatives to mined stones: She chose a lab-grown diamond for her engagement ring.
Also called synthetic diamonds or cultured diamonds.
