The only meaningful difference is how the crystal begins its life. Mined diamonds form naturally under extreme heat and pressure far beneath the earth’s surface, whereas lab-grown diamonds are cultivated in state-of-the-art reactors that replicate those exact conditions. Because their chemical composition, hardness, and optical properties are identical, a client’s choice typically reflects personal preferences regarding provenance, sustainability, and price rather than any variation in quality.

Lab-grown diamonds are indeed genuine diamonds in every scientific sense. Independent gemological laboratories evaluate them with the same 4Cs—cut, color, clarity, and carat weight—used for mined stones. A laboratory report for a D-color, VVS2 lab-grown diamond confirms the same brilliance, dispersion, and durability as its earth-mined counterpart, and Lakshae supplies full certification with each purchase to guarantee authenticity.

There is no inherent visual advantage to either origin. Light return and scintillation depend on cut precision, symmetry, and proportion rather than on growth environment. Because laboratory conditions are highly controlled, high-clarity material can be more readily available in lab-grown form, yet Lakshae approves only those stones—lab or mined—that meet rigorous thresholds for brilliance and fire.

From an ethical and environmental perspective, lab-grown production generally involves less land disruption, lower water consumption, and reduced greenhouse-gas emissions. Responsibly sourced mined diamonds, however, support essential livelihoods in producing countries and are increasingly traceable from mine to market. Lakshae provides documented supply chains for both categories so clients can select the option that best aligns with their values.

The comparatively lower price of lab-grown diamonds reflects efficiencies in production and distribution rather than any compromise in beauty or durability. Laboratory synthesis eliminates heavy mining infrastructure and multiple intermediaries, resulting in savings of approximately 30 – 60 % for stones of equivalent grade. Lakshae passes these efficiencies directly to clients while maintaining uncompromising craftsmanship.

Jewelry pieces require approximately 3 weeks of production time, after which estimated delivery dates will be confirmed via email once your order is complete.

For loose diamonds, please allow up to 3 weeks for shipping.

Lakshae ships exclusively through FedEx, DHL and Loomis Express —carriers selected for their reliability, expedited customs processing, and advanced tracking systems. Every consignment is insured for its full replacement value until an adult signature is obtained at the designated delivery address, ensuring complete protection throughout transit.

At this time, Lakshae Jewelry ships only to addresses within Canada. We are actively working to expand our shipping destinations and will update this page as additional regions become available.

All jewelry is placed inside an unbranded, tamper-evident outer carton that provides both security and discretion.

As soon as your parcel leaves our facility, Lakshae jewelry will email you a secure tracking link. This link lets you follow your shipment in real time, view estimated delivery dates, and see proof of signature once it arrives.

We offer a 7-day return policy for loose diamonds. To be eligible for a return, the diamond must be in its original condition and accompanied by its original certification.

As all our jewelry is made to order, these pieces are final sale and non-returnable.
