Mined vs Lab Grown Diamonds Chicago dimend SCAASI Comparison
The choice between mined and lab grown diamonds is one of the most significant decisions Chicago diamond buyers face today. At dimend SCAASI on Jewelers Row, both options are available with full certification, and the team's approach is to inform rather than advocate. Mined diamonds form naturally in the earth over billions of years under extreme heat and pressure. They are extracted through mining operations and traded through supply chains that range from highly traceable to complex depending on the source region and the grading of ethical sourcing standards. GIA and AGS certification is standard for mined diamonds at dimend SCAASI. Lab grown diamonds are produced in controlled laboratory environments using processes that replicate the natural conditions of diamond formation. The resulting material is chemically and structurally identical to mined diamond. IGI certification is standard for lab grown stones.
