The long read

Natural and lab-grown: read the distinction

Origin is part of a stone's description. Read it alongside colour, clarity, cut and treatment, without treating the label as a price forecast.

Lab-grown diamonds are diamonds grown in a laboratory. Natural diamonds formed in the earth. These terms describe origin; they should not be blurred together in a listing.

Origin does not give you a complete description. Read the colour, clarity, cut, measurements, condition and treatment information for the individual stone, along with any report supplied with the lot.

Teals lists natural and lab-grown stones. Lab-grown stones are labelled as such. If origin or another important detail is unclear in a listing, ask before placing a bid.

Compare the individual lots and their supporting information. A natural or lab-grown label alone does not establish what a stone should cost, or what someone might offer for it later.
