Lab Grown Diamonds Explained

A mined diamond grows over millions of years deep beneath the Earth; a laboratory grown diamond is created in weeks under the same intense heat and pressure. The result is identical — physically, chemically and optically the same as a mined diamond. At Ian Gallacher Jewellers, master jewellers in Stirling since 1973, our laboratory grown diamonds offer outstanding brilliance at a fraction of the price, as in our Platinum 3.09ct Lab Grown Diamond Ring.

Even a trained gemologist cannot tell the difference without strong magnification, and lab grown stones test as real diamonds. Choosing one is a responsible, increasingly popular way to own a larger or finer stone for your budget. Explore lab grown diamond rings and earrings, or compare with our natural diamond collection. Each piece is sent with free, fully insured UK delivery and lifetime aftercare.

Our designers can craft a bespoke piece around a lab grown diamond of your choice, and interest-free finance is available so you can make your budget go further.
