What are lab-grown diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds—also known as cultured diamonds—are created in state-of-the-art laboratories that replicate the high-pressure, high-temperature conditions under which natural diamonds form. Though made above ground, they are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. The only difference lies in their origin—crafted with care, precision, and a lower environmental footprint.
Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Absolutely. Lab-grown diamonds are every bit as real as mined ones — same sparkle, same strength, same timeless allure. The only difference lies in their origin: created in advanced labs instead of extracted from the Earth. A more ethical, sustainable, and future-forward choice — without compromising an ounce of beauty.
How sustainable are lab-grown diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are a more conscious and sustainable alternative to mined diamonds. Created in controlled environments, they require significantly less land, water, and energy, and produce a far smaller carbon footprint. With minimal environmental disruption and no destructive mining, they reflect a more responsible luxury — beautiful, ethical, and aligned with the values of a better tomorrow.
Are lab-grown diamonds more affordable than natural diamonds?
Yes. Lab-grown diamonds offer the same brilliance, durability, and elegance as natural diamonds — often at a more accessible price point. Thanks to their controlled creation process and reduced environmental impact, they eliminate the high costs of mining while preserving the luxury you love. More diamond, less compromise.
Can lab-grown diamonds be distinguished from natural diamonds?
To the naked eye — no. Lab-grown diamonds are virtually indistinguishable from natural diamonds, sharing the same brilliance, hardness, and chemical structure. Only advanced gemological equipment can detect the difference. At DEEMI Jewels, every lab-grown diamond is hand-selected and certified to meet or exceed the highest industry standards — ensuring unmatched beauty, quality, and trust.
Are your gemstones natural?
Yes. We use natural, ethically sourced gemstones that are carefully selected for their color, clarity, and vibrancy. Each stone adds character and depth to every design.
Does it come with certification?
All pieces featuring diamonds or gemstones come with a certificate of authenticity and care card, included in your DEEMI box.
Do you offer customization or engraving?
Yes. Many of our designs can be customized or engraved with names, dates, or meaningful messages. Contact us or explore our Custom section to create something truly personal.
What does 1 micron of real gold plating mean?
It means your jewelry has a thick, premium layer of 18K real gold — exactly 1 micron thick — plated over solid 925 sterling silver. This makes it more durable, long-lasting, and luxurious than regular gold-plated jewelry.
How is this different from regular gold-plated jewelry?
Typical fashion jewelry uses ultra-thin gold plating (as little as 0.03 microns) over base metals like brass. DEEMI pieces are 10–20x thicker, hypoallergenic, and crafted to maintain their brilliance over time.
Will the gold plating wear off?
With proper care, our 1 micron thick gold plating offers excellent durability. Avoid water, perfume, and abrasive surfaces to prolong its life.
Is it hypoallergenic?
Absolutely. We use nickel-free sterling silver and high-quality plating, making our jewelry safe for sensitive skin.
Do you offer international shipping?
Yes, we ship globally with trusted partners. Each order is packaged securely and includes all necessary documentation, including authenticity and care cards.
