Question 1: Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?
Don’t be afraid to ask this question. We know it’s a newer term and is still unfamiliar to most. Lab-grown diamonds are not fake diamonds, they are very real. Let’s break it down so you can explain to your fiancé that you did, in fact, buy them a real diamond. Lab Grown Diamonds are identical to mined diamonds with the sole difference that they are grown in a lab and not in the ground. You will still find the same brilliance and sparkle!
Question 2: Are lab-grown diamonds environmentally friendly?
Lab-grown diamonds are environmentally friendly and conflict free. They are of equal quality to mined diamonds with the bonus of a clear conscience. If ethical shopping and fair trade are a part of your shopping game, this is for you! We believe in transparency – ask to see certification.
Question 3: Can I see a lab-grown diamond before I begin designing one?
Absolutely! The Ring Austin is the only place you will find lab-grown diamonds in Central Texas. We invite you to visit us in store to see our close to $2 Million in lab-grown diamonds – that’s 4x the amount of other jewelry stores. Our cases are open and prices are clearly marked.
