The FTC (Federal Trade Commission in the US) recommends the use of the term laboratory grown. The average consumer relates synthetic to fake or look-a-like, and associates it with such materials as Cubic Zirconia or Moissanite. The term is clearly confusing and therefore misleading.

 

The 3 major international diamond laboratories GIA, HRD and IGI provide diamond grading reports certifying the lab grown diamond  is a diamond with exactly the same optical, physical and chemical characteristic than mined diamonds with the point of origin being the only difference. One is grown above the ground while the other is extracted from the ground.

 

Laboratory grown diamond is a term that the consumer understands and has no problem making the connection to a different kind of diamond totally identical to the mined diamond.  Simply put, it is a real diamond, just a different kind of diamond.

 

In other words, LAB GROWN DIAMONDS are diamonds in all senses , but in a more ethical way.
