Lab Grown Diamonds

July 2, 2020 By Jason Gamoke

According to Brillance.com, in their article about the history of diamonds they state the first ever diamond was discovered in India in 4th century BC, although the youngest of these deposits were formed 900 million years ago. Diamonds have been around since any of us can remember, it was not until the earlier years of 1954-1955 when the first lab grown diamond was created.

So, what is a lab grown diamond? Are they real diamonds? Why choose a lab grown, man-made diamond over one that was mined from the ground? Morgan’s is here to answer all of your questions.

A lab grown diamond, is just what the same states. A diamond grown inside of a lab, using a range of techniques.

“Typically a ‘diamond seed’, a very small part of a diamond, is used to grow a lab created diamond. These laboratories either replicate the high pressure and temperature found in the earth’s mantle where naturally-mined diamonds are formed, or they use super-heated gas to grow the diamond.” (Brillance.com)

Lab grown diamonds, are in fact real diamonds. Although, mined diamonds are often referred to as “natural” and “real” lab grown diamonds carry an identical diamond crystal structure as a mined diamond. Lab diamonds are too, real.

When choosing a diamond that is right for you, the choice is yours. Choosing a lab grown diamond will decrease your carbon footprint, as mined diamonds produce an annual carbon footprint equivalent to more than 600 million car miles. Here at Morgan’s Jewelers our lab grown diamonds are about 20-30% cheaper than the mined diamond. So if you are interested in saving the planet and your pockets, stop on in today and take a look at our exquisite selection hand picked just for you.

Jason was great, helping me find an anniversary gift that my wife would enjoy.

I like coming into Morgan’s because of their customer service and attention to detail. I get the same service at Morgan’s, whether I’m getting a watch battery replaced or buying jewelry.

The earrings I needed for this anniversary gift were not in stock, so we ordered them. Communication was excellent as we waited for them to come in. We knew there would be a wait and weren’t in a hurry.

We picked them up today & are very happy with the quality. Definitely worth the wait, to get the right gift.

Jason and his staff are very personable and listened to what you are looking for. He made the process of picking out an engagement ring painless and easy, detailing his process of finding the perfect ring for you. There were no sales tactics or pressure from him to choose a ring while making such an important decision. Overall, I had a great buying experience and am very impressed with Morgan’s!

Jason and crew were awesome in helping me design my fiance's ring. From the time I walked in, the whole crew was warm, friendly, & very easy to get along with. They made us feel like family. They worked with us in getting the rings here in time. No matter the price of the ring, Morgan Jewelry will make you feel like a million dollars.
