Many people are aware of the differences between a diamond and a cubic zirconia or “CZ”. One of the primary differences is durability. A diamond is the hardest stone known and can only be cut by another diamond. While a CZ is much less hard, and thus less durable, than a real diamond.
But what about natural diamonds versus lab-grown?
Lab-grown diamonds are essentially identical in construct to a natural diamond. They are both constructed by compressing carbon under extreme pressure and under extreme temperatures. However, while a lab-grown diamond can be made in a matter of weeks, it takes billions of years for diamonds to form beneath the earth. This distinction is why a natural diamond will hold value over time while a lab-grown diamond likely will not. Nothing can replace the uniqueness, meaning, and rarity of a natural diamond formed over inconceivable amounts of time far beneath the Earth’s surface.
