‎ Lab-Grown Diamonds 

Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds, which are naturally formed in the Earth's mantle under immense heat and pressure, hundreds of miles underground, over a billion years ago. In contrast, lab-grown diamonds are created in a controlled laboratory setting, using the same chemical components as natural diamonds. Although lab-grown diamond technology has been around for over 50 years, significant advancements in quality and price have made them increasingly popular for use in jewelry.

Unlike natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds can be produced limitlessly, with the added benefit of being priced significantly lower than their natural counterparts, whose price is determined by rarity and unique characteristics. While natural diamonds acquire their shape from the pressure of being compacted deep within the earth's crust, lab-grown diamonds are produced using a controlled recipe in the lab.

Ethically Sourced Diamonds

Ethical diamonds are conflict-free diamonds. They are confirmed, via The Kimberly Process, to be transparently mined and do not support wars or uncivil organizations.
NYC Gold & Diamonds has a zero-tolerance policy toward conflict diamonds, supporting ethical and transparent mining practices confirmed through The Kimberley Process. As a responsible member of the diamond industry, we only purchase diamonds from reputable suppliers who adhere to the Kimberley Process standards. Although diamonds are a major source of good in many African nations, providing employment and healthcare to thousands, we will continue to support and promote any process that works to uphold legitimacy in the diamond trade.
