Did you know that lab-grown diamonds’ global market volume is expected to reach 19.2 million carats by 2030? Well, it’s not even that surprising, as these types of diamonds are becoming increasingly popular today. Authentic lab-grown diamonds are carefully crafted in a lab setting, producing diamonds that are perfect in every way. Plus, with no risk of unethical mining practices or environmental damage during the production process, you can feel good about what you’re buying, especially if you choose a reliable one like Mike Nekta New York.
However, the decision between GIA and IGI can be a difficult one when it comes to lab-grown diamonds. If you’re opting for authentic, conflict-free diamonds, lab-grown is the way to go! But before you choose the type of certification that suits your preferences, let me give you some insights into why lab-grown diamonds are worth investing in.
Reasons Why Lab-Grown Diamonds Are a Must-Have
1. Certified lab-grown diamonds are much more affordable than mined diamonds. You can get a bigger diamond for your money, and you don’t have to sacrifice quality for affordability. Certified lab-grown diamonds come with the same guarantees of cut, color, clarity, and carat weight as natural stones.
2. By choosing certified lab-grown diamonds, you are supporting a more sustainable future for our planet. Lab-created stones have less environmental impact than mined diamonds. Also, they only require fewer resources to produce.
3. Certified lab-grown diamonds are ethically sourced. As they are created in a laboratory setting, there is no concern over unethical labor practices or the exploitation of workers.
4. Certified lab-grown diamonds are backed by the same guarantees and warranties as natural stones, so you can be assured of the quality of your purchase.
5. Certified lab-grown diamonds offer a unique look that is different from traditionally mined diamonds – allowing for more creative freedom in making stunning jewelry pieces.
If you’re still not convinced, here’s a video of why you need to invest in lab-grown diamonds and why Mike Nekta New York is the best place to go!
GIA Vs. IGI: What’s the Difference?
When considering the purchase of a lab-grown diamond, it is important to understand the different certifications available. GIA and IGI are two of the most respected gemological laboratories in the world. They both evaluate diamonds for quality, and issue reports that detail the characteristics of each stone.
GIA-certified Lab Grown Diamonds
They typically come with a “GIA Diamond Grading Report,” which is a detailed report that describes the diamond’s cut quality, color grade, clarity grade, symmetry, and polish. GIA is known for its strict standards when it comes to grading lab-grown diamonds. They have very high standards for accuracy and consistency in their lab-grown diamond grading reports.
IGI-certified Lab-Grown Diamonds
These types of diamonds come with an “IGI Diamond Grading Report.” This report includes the same information as a GIA report but in less detail. The IGI diamond grading system is slightly more lenient than the GIA’s, making it easier for manufacturers to get their products certified. However, this does not mean that an IGI-certified lab-grown diamond is of a lower quality than one certified by GIA.
Ultimately, no matter which certification you choose, both GIA and IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds offer exceptional quality and value. Both certifications provide assurance of the quality and authenticity of the diamond, making them a great choice for anyone looking to purchase a lab-grown diamond.
