This lab salt-and-pepper diamond is a 2.85 carat elongated hexagon, step cut, measuring 15.05 x 6.98mm. A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond, chemically and optically identical to a mined one. The only difference is that it is grown in a controlled lab rather than pulled from the earth. Because it is lab-grown, the price stretches much further: a lab diamond can run many thousands less than a comparable natural, so your budget buys more size and more character.

The salt-and-pepper effect comes from included specks and clouds grown into the crystal. These are characteristics, not flaws, and the pattern in this stone is one of a kind. It carries the same Mohs 10 hardness as any diamond, the hardest natural material, which makes it an excellent choice for everyday wear. Heather and her team in Boulder, Colorado hand-select and hand-vet every stone, so any surface-reaching inclusion that could become a fracture point is caught before it is ever set.

Bohemi does not sell loose stones. This diamond is set into an engagement ring or a custom piece, and the $1,880 price is the starting point for your ring. To see how it might come together, explore the full range of engagement rings.

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 is grown in a controlled lab instead of being mined from the earth. It is never fake and never lesser.

Why choose a lab diamond?

Cost is the biggest reason. A lab diamond can run many thousands less than a comparable natural, so your budget stretches to more size and character. Ethics is a real secondary driver, since some people choose lab to sidestep conflict-diamond concerns. A natural diamond still makes sense for some buyers, so lab is the budget-and-values fit rather than the only smart option. One honest note: a lab diamond has essentially no secondary-market resale value, so buy it to wear and keep, not as a financial asset.

Are salt-and-pepper inclusions flaws?

No. The salt-and-pepper specks and clouds are characteristics, not flaws, and every stone's pattern is one of a kind. In a heavily included stone a surface-reaching inclusion can be a fracture point, so Heather and her team in Boulder hand-vet every stone 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 in Boulder, Colorado, and the listed price is the starting point for your ring.
