Loose Lab Grown Diamonds

Real diamonds, grown in a lab rather than dug out of the ground, sold loose and certified. Same crystal, same sparkle, a very different receipt.


Loose Lab Grown Diamonds at Perrara

Grown, Graded, Inscribed

Every lab grown stone here comes with an IGI report, and most are laser inscribed on the girdle, so the number on the paper is on the diamond too. Clarity runs VVS to VS, colour is mostly E and F with a few D, and sizes start at a carat and a half and go past five. That last part is where lab grown changes the conversation: the stone you pictured and the stone you can afford stop being two different stones.

What lab grown is: a diamond, by chemistry and by hardness, graded on the same scale as a mined one. What it is not: rare. Its price has moved a long way in a few years, which matters if you think of a diamond as an investment and not at all if you think of it as a diamond. There is no right answer here, only the one that is right for you and your person, and we will give you the honest version of both in the store or over text.

The shapes on this page run round brilliant, oval, radiant, marquise, emerald cut, cushion, elongated cushion, princess and pear, most of them over two carats, so this is where the big-look shapes live. Text us the shape and size and we will send the IGI report and a photo of the actual stone, then set it in any setting on the site or build around it here in Kelowna.

Questions we actually get

Straight answers from the people on the floor

Are your loose lab grown diamonds certified?

Yes. Every one carries an IGI report, and most are laser inscribed with the report number on the girdle, so the stone and the paper can be matched by anyone with a loupe.

Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond?

It is a diamond: the same crystal, hardness and grading scale as a mined stone, grown in weeks rather than formed underground. We avoid the phrase "real diamond" for either kind, because both are. The difference is origin, rarity and price, and every listing says which one you are looking at.

What sizes do you carry as loose lab grown diamonds?

From about a carat and a half up past five carats, with most of the page between two and three. Shapes run round, oval, radiant, marquise, emerald cut, cushion, elongated cushion, princess and pear.

Can I put one of these in a setting from your engagement ring pages?

Yes, that is the usual route. Most of our settings are sold without a center stone for exactly this reason: pick the diamond here, pick the setting there, and we set it in Kelowna. Text us both links and we will tell you whether they fit.
