Frequently Asked Questions.

Lab grown diamonds are created using an advanced technology whereas natural diamonds are mined from under the surface of the earth. Lab diamonds do not incur the expense of mining, transportation and artificial created scarcity and hence are free from the high mark-ups. Lab diamonds don’t hold the cost of our earth.

Yes. Lab created diamonds have the same physical, chemical, and optical characteristics as natural diamonds, as well as the same fire, scintillation, and sparkle. They are real diamonds. Lab created diamonds are nearly impossible to differentiate from natural diamonds with the naked eye.

Lab diamonds receive grading reports from independent gemological organizations on the 4Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight. Just like in mined diamonds, lab diamonds will exhibit variations across the 4Cs and range from poor to superlative quality.

Our jewelers are highly skilled with many years in the industry and will take the utmost care when setting a stone. Asta will not be held responsible for any breakage that could occur during the setting of a third party stone.
