Where to Find a Synthetic Diamond?

Where would you buy a synthetic diamond?

Hi Elle,

Lab created synthetic diamonds - which have the exact same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds - are currently only available through a few different companies.

Resources which I would highly recommend for synthetic diamond shoppers are companies which not only produce synthetic diamonds, but which also set the standards for eco-friendly lab diamond production and ring settings:

Created-Diamonds.com is a terrific source for loose synthetic yellow, orange, fancy blue, pink, red and white (colorless) diamonds. You can choose from a selection of cuts and carat sizes and order from their selection online.

D.NEA Diamonds sell a variety of lab created white (colorless), blue, yellow, orangy and red diamonds either loose or set in rings. Consumers can also choose rings made with eco-friendly sourced platinum, 18kt gold and silver rings.

Brilliant Earth, one of the renowned eco-friendly wedding ring companies in the U.S. has also just added a beautiful selection of lab created pink and blue synthetic diamonds all set in eco-friendly sourced platinum and 18kt yellow gold.

One other very interesting source to consider for synthetic diamonds is a newer technology that has previously been used to create diamonds from the ashes of loved ones (people and pets). Now however, it is possible to make a real lab created diamond from human hair - so couples looking for a very unique wedding ring can actually have their rings made with diamonds crafted from the carbon isolated from a lock of their hair! Check out DNA2 Diamonds for more info.

Good luck on your search, and if you do purchase a synthetic diamond we would love to read a review on your purchase.

Thanks!
