Do lab-grown diamonds break easily?

No, Lab-grown diamonds have the same hardness as mined diamonds as they have the same atomic structure. Carbon is the main element in both mined and created diamonds.

Cultivated diamonds are created in machines with the use of high pressure and extreme temperature, replicating nature’s way of making diamonds. The end result- diamonds that are exactly the same as mined diamonds- physically, chemically & optically. Mined diamonds have a crystal structure and so do lab grown diamonds. Lab grown diamonds replicate the crystal lattice-like atomic structure of mined diamonds.

Let’s see how these two diamonds compare with each other:

Exactly the same, aren’t they? The only difference between these two types of diamonds is where they are created. They share the same DNA and to put it simply, created diamonds are just the test-tube babies of the diamond world!

So the answer is an emphatic no! If a mined diamond is the hardest substance on earth, a lab-grown diamond does NOT break easily, much like its sister, the mined diamond!

Which is why manmade diamonds are the next big thing in the diamond jewellery market with competitive price points.
