This is a lab-grown Fancy Vivid Blue oval diamond, 1.21 carats and measuring 8.41 by 5.7mm. A lab diamond is a real diamond, chemically and optically identical to a mined one, grown in a lab rather than pulled from the earth. Its Fancy Vivid Blue color comes from the controlled growth process, not from any coating or added treatment, and it carries VVS2 clarity.

Choosing lab here is largely about the budget. A blue diamond of this size and saturation mined from the earth would cost many multiples more, so the budget stretches to more size and more color. Ethics is a real secondary reason people choose lab. To be honest, a natural-diamond market genuinely exists, so lab is the budget-and-values fit rather than the only smart choice, and a lab diamond has essentially no secondary-market resale value, so buy it to wear and keep, not as an asset. At Mohs 10 it is the hardest material there is, ready for everyday wear.

Heather and her team hand-select every stone at Bohemi's studio in Boulder, Colorado. Bohemi does not sell loose stones: this diamond is set into an engagement ring or a custom piece, and the $2,035 price is the starting point for the finished ring. From here you can explore the full range of engagement rings.

Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?

Yes. A lab-grown diamond is chemically and optically identical to a mined diamond. It is grown in a lab rather than pulled from the earth, so it is a real diamond, never a simulant or an imitation. This stone's Fancy Vivid Blue color comes from the controlled growth process.

Why choose a lab diamond over a mined one?

Cost is the main reason. A lab diamond of this size and color often runs many thousands less than its mined equivalent, so your budget stretches to more size and more character. Ethics is a real secondary reason. A natural-diamond market does still exist, so lab is the budget-and-values fit, and because a lab diamond has essentially no resale value, buy it to wear and keep rather than as an investment.

Is this diamond durable enough for everyday wear?

Yes. Every diamond, lab-grown or mined, is Mohs 10, the hardest material there is. This 1.21 carat oval is well suited to daily wear in an engagement ring.

Can I buy just the stone?

Bohemi does not sell loose stones. This diamond is set into an engagement ring or a custom piece with Heather at the Boulder, Colorado studio, and the price is the starting point for the finished ring.
