Why choose a lab-grown diamond?

Laboratory-grown diamonds offer the beauty, brilliance, and durability of natural diamonds, but come from a different origin.

They have essentially the same chemical composition, crystal structure and optical and physical properties as natural diamonds. The key difference is how they are formed: natural diamonds develop beneath the Earth over geological timescales, while laboratory-grown diamonds are created using specialised technology in controlled conditions.

Key benefits of lab-grown diamonds

More flexibility for your budget

Choosing a laboratory-grown diamond can give you greater flexibility when balancing carat weight, cut, colour and clarity.

For some clients, that means considering a larger centre stone. For others, it means prioritising an excellent cut, higher colour or clarity grade while staying within a particular budget.

We can show you different options side by side so that you can decide where your budget makes the greatest difference to the finished ring.

The same sparkle, a different origin

Laboratory-grown diamonds are not cubic zirconia or moissanite. They are diamonds created using processes that reproduce the conditions required for diamond crystal growth.

Once cut and polished, a high-quality laboratory-grown diamond can display the brilliance, fire and sparkle people associate with a beautifully cut diamond.

We clearly identify laboratory-grown diamonds as laboratory-grown and can explain the certification and specifications of the individual stones we source.

More choice

Laboratory-grown diamonds are available across a wide range of carat weights, shapes, colours and clarity grades.

That gives us considerable flexibility when sourcing a stone around your preferred ring design and budget.

Popular shapes include round brilliant, oval, pear, emerald, radiant, cushion and marquise cuts.

Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Rings in Leeds 

Every engagement ring should feel personal.

At Leodis Diamonds, we can create a laboratory-grown diamond engagement ring around the stone, style and budget that matter to you rather than asking you to choose from a limited selection of predetermined designs.

You can choose from classic solitaire rings, hidden halos, pavé shoulders, three-stone designs, bezel settings and more contemporary styles, or work with us to create something completely bespoke.

Your ring can be made in platinum, white gold, yellow gold or rose gold, with the proportions and finer details tailored to your preferences.

If you are unsure where to begin, that’s completely normal. We can start with examples of different diamonds and ring styles and narrow the options down together.
