This lab salt-and-pepper diamond is a 4.06 carat cut corner rectangle, step cut, measuring 14.12 by 6.97mm. It is a real diamond, chemically and optically identical to a mined one, and the only difference is that it was grown in a lab instead of pulled from the earth. Because a lab diamond can run many thousands less than a comparable natural, the budget stretches to far more size and character, and at 4.06 carats this stone has plenty of both.

The scattered specks and clouds inside are the salt-and-pepper look, characteristics rather than flaws, and this pattern is one of a kind. The stone carries the same Mohs 10 hardness as any diamond, the hardest natural material there is, so it wears beautifully every day. Salt-and-peppers live outside the traditional white-diamond market, which is exactly why you get so much more stone per dollar. They were never graded or traded as a commodity, and that is the point, not a gap.

Heather and her team hand-select every stone at Bohemi in Boulder, Colorado, and each one is vetted so that no surface-reaching inclusion becomes a fracture point. Bohemi does not sell loose stones: this diamond is set into an engagement ring or a custom piece, and the $2,675 price is the starting point for the finished ring.

Is a lab diamond a real diamond?

Yes. A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond, chemically and optically identical to a mined one. The only difference is that it was grown in a lab instead of mined from the earth. It is never fake and never lesser.

Why choose a lab diamond?

Cost is the main reason. A lab diamond can be many thousands less than a comparable natural, so the budget stretches to more size and character. Ethics is a real secondary driver, since some buyers choose lab to sidestep conflict-diamond concerns. A natural-diamond segment still exists for those who want it, so lab is the budget-and-values fit rather than the only smart choice. One honest note: a lab diamond has essentially zero secondary-market resale value, so buy it to wear and keep, not as a financial asset.

Are salt-and-pepper inclusions flaws?

No. The specks and clouds are characteristics of a salt-and-pepper diamond, not flaws, and every pattern is one of a kind. In heavily included stones a surface-reaching inclusion can become a fracture point, so every Bohemi stone is hand-vetted for exactly that before it is set.

Can I buy just the stone?

No. Bohemi does not sell loose stones. This diamond is set into an engagement ring or a custom piece designed with Heather and her team in Boulder, Colorado, and the price is the starting point for the finished ring.
