Laboratory-Grown Diamonds
Laboratory-grown diamonds are man-made diamonds that are created by replicating the forces and conditions that cause natural diamonds to form below the Earth’s surface. They have the same chemical and physical properties as mined pieces but are handcrafted to eliminate any natural disruptions to cut, clarity and colour. This means that your newest piece will have unrivalled shine and clarity, that lasts.
All our new season laboratory-grown diamonds* come with a certified sustainable and climate neutral rating in accordance with the SCS-007 Jewellery Sustainability Standard Series – Sustainability Rated Diamond from SCS Global Services. This is a digital certification that comes with your laboratory-grown diamond purchase. Simply scan the card packed within your order and follow the prompts to view and download.
This is in line with our ‘Responsibly Sourced’ brand mission, and better empowers you to make a purchase that aligns with your values.
*Certified laboratory-grown diamonds are clearly listed on the materials drop down page on our website.
What Does SCS Certified Mean?
SCS-007 certified means that each piece is assessed against five key pillars:
- Origin Traceability
- Ethical Stewardship
- Climate Neutrality
- Sustainable Production
- Sustainable Investments
Certification under the SCS 007 standard incorporates revolutionary diamond testing technology that can trace a diamond back to its source. This testing is further backed up by a series of checks throughout the chain of custody, including human rights, climate and sustainability standards to ensure that your laboratory-grown diamond comes from a well-known, highly reputable source.
How are Laboratory-Grown Diamonds Made?
Laboratory-grown diamonds are created using advanced, techniques and equipment that replicate the forces and conditions that cause natural diamonds.
The growth process begins with a diamond seed, which is pure carbon and is created using one of two key methods: HPHT (High Pressure, High Temperature) or CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition).
There are only a handful of certified stone growers and handlers in the world that proudly possess the global standard SCS 007 certification, Medley proudly works with one of these suppliers to source our laboratory-grown diamonds.
