Understanding lab-grown diamonds

At LUIEN Atelier, we embrace lab-grown diamonds as the foundation of modern luxury. Physically, chemically, and optically identical to mined stones, they deliver the exact same fire and timeless resilience. Explore our guide below to discover why we choose conscious innovation and intentional design for every creation.

Frequently asked questions

We believe in absolute transparency. Whether you are seeking your dream engagement piece or curious about diamond creation, here are direct answers to help you make an informed, confident decision.

Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes, absolutely. Lab-grown diamonds are 100% genuine diamonds. They share the identical pure carbon crystal structure, physical hardness, optical brilliance, and chemical composition as mined diamonds. Even certified gemologists require specialized laboratory spectroscopy equipment to identify them.

How are lab-grown diamonds created?

Lab-grown diamonds are created using cutting-edge technological processes—primarily Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT). These methods replicate the exact natural thermodynamic conditions under which diamonds form deep within the Earth, crystallizing carbon atom by atom.

Will a lab-grown diamond test positive on a diamond tester?

Yes. Standard diamond thermal and electrical conductivity testers will read a lab-grown diamond as a genuine diamond because its physical and atomic properties are identical to a mined diamond.

Do lab-grown diamonds fade, cloud, or discolor over time?

Never. Because they possess the exact same atomic lattice and Mohs hardness rating of 10 as mined diamonds, lab-grown diamonds never lose their luster, change color, or become cloudy over time.

Do your diamonds come with independent certification?

Yes. Every significant diamond used in our atelier is independently graded and certified by globally respected gemological institutes from IGI. Each certificate details the stone's 4Cs: cut, color, clarity, and carat weight.

Why does LUIEN Atelier champion lab-grown diamonds?

We champion lab-grown diamonds because they align with our philosophy as a modern diamond house. They allow us to combine conscious, conflict-free sourcing with exceptional craftsmanship and design freedom, offering remarkable quality without compromise.

Can I design a custom piece with a lab-grown diamond?

Yes, bespoke jewelry is our specialty. Our atelier works collaboratively with you to select your ideal diamond and design a one-of-a-kind setting. Learn more about our private consultations on our bespoke services page.

Where can I view LUIEN diamond pieces in person?

You can book an appointment at our private studio in Bukit Jalil, Malaysia, where you can view our loose diamonds and signature settings up close alongside our master jewelers.
