When it comes to choosing a diamond, whether it’s an engagement ring, a piece of jewellery for a special occasion, or simply to treat yourself, a crucial question arises: should you opt for a lab-grown diamond or a natural diamond? Each option has its advantages, and it’s important to understand these differences to make an informed choice. Fortunately, the experts at Bijouterie LSM are here to help you make your choice based on your values, needs, and budget.
The Characteristics of Natural Diamond
A true miracle of nature, natural diamonds come to life deep within the earth, under conditions of extreme heat and pressure, over billions of years.
Natural diamonds have been a symbol of beauty and enduring love for centuries. Eternal, they are the perfect gift to mark life’s meaningful moments and to convey the message of a rare andp recious story.
Each natural diamond is unique, with its own distinct inclusions and characteristics that tell a thousand-year-old story.
We Love Natural Diamonds for:
- Their unique character. Each natural diamond has a different colour,
clarity, and cut. Billions of possible combinations exist. - Their roots in the world of luxury and their prestigious image.
- Their rarity, which gives them a significant resale value.
Did You Know?
There are Canadian diamonds! Extracted from mines in the far north, they meet the highest environmental standards in the world as well as the principle of sustainable development.
Like all diamonds available at Bijouterie LSM, Canadian diamonds meet the requirements of the Kimberley Process and can be traced back to their mine of origin. Our role as jewellers is to always ensure we purchase ethically sourced diamonds, and therefore ensure our suppliers are part of this process.

Characteristics of Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds, also called synthetic diamonds, are created in a laboratory by replicating the heat and pressure conditions required for their formation. These artificial diamonds are identical to natural diamonds in every way.
No need to wait millennia to hold these little beauties in your hands. Unlike natural diamonds, they can be produced in just a few weeks. It’s a miracle of technology!
Created in a controlled environment, lab-grown diamonds have many advantages.
We Love Lab-Grown Diamonds for:
- Their price: They are often less expensive than natural diamonds because they do not require the same resources as those used to extract diamonds from mines. In addition, inclusions and defects are generally more controllable and fewer in number.

The Most Important Thing is to Please Yourself!
There are no wrong choices, only personal preferences! Whether you choose a natural or lab-grown diamond, the key is to choose a stone that matches your style, budget, values, and expectations.
Natural diamonds add a unique and mystical dimension to any piece of jewelry, following tradition and offering a unique rarity. Lab-grown diamonds, created with scientific precision, are often a more affordable alternative, while still maintaining the stone's beauty.
