What is a Lab Grown Diamond?

Clean your jewelry gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals, and store each piece separately to prevent scratching. For long-term care, professional cleaning is always recommended.

Lab-grown diamonds are usually purchased for beauty, meaning, and value — not as an investment. Like most fine jewelry, resale value can vary based on the market, diamond quality, and demand at the time of resale.
