Natural Diamonds
Natural diamonds, extracted directly from the Earth, are one of the hardest minerals, classified as a gemstone. Their value is determined by the 4Cs: Cut, Carat, Color, and Clarity. While certifications like GIA (U.S.), IGI, HRD (Belgium), EGL, and AGS are widely recognized, in Canada, GemScan certifications, similar to those from Hyundai and Usin in Korea, are also highly reputable.

Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds share the same chemical, optical, and physical properties as natural diamonds. Created in advanced labs, diamonds are grown from diamond seeds using methods like CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) and HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature), taking 6-10 weeks to develop. They offer high-quality options at a lower price point compared to natural diamonds, while being more environmentally friendly as they avoid mining and reduce ecological impact.

Moissanite
Moissanite was originally discovered as small mineral grains in nature, but was later synthesized by Henri Moissan, giving it the name Moissanite. This lab-created gemstone mimics the physical properties of natural diamonds, showcasing high hardness, high refractive index, and dispersion, resulting in brilliant sparkle and luster. Though significantly more affordable (about 1/3 the cost of diamonds), it faces limited distribution and inconsistent resale value in the market.
