This lab salt-and-pepper diamond is a 2.46 carat elongated hexagon, step cut, measuring 14.65 x 6.85mm. 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 controlled process rather than pulled from the earth. Because a lab diamond can run many thousands of dollars less than a comparable natural stone, your budget stretches to more size and more character.

The salt-and-pepper look is the point here. The dark and light specks scattered through the stone are natural characteristics of the growth process, not flaws, and no two patterns are ever alike. Salt-and-peppers live outside the traditional white-diamond market, so you get dramatically more stone per dollar, and at Mohs 10 this diamond has the same everyday hardness as any other, ready for daily wear. Every Bohemi stone is hand-vetted so a surface-reaching inclusion never becomes a weak point.

Heather and her team hand-select every stone at the Bohemi studio in Boulder, Colorado. Bohemi does not sell loose stones. This diamond is set into an engagement ring or a custom piece, and the $1625 price is the starting point for the finished ring. Explore the full range of engagement rings.

Is a lab diamond a real diamond?

Yes. A lab-grown diamond is chemically and optically identical to a mined diamond. The only difference is that it was grown in a controlled lab process instead of being pulled from the earth. It is not a simulant and not a lesser stone.

Why choose a lab diamond?

Cost is the main reason: a lab diamond can run many thousands of dollars less than a comparable natural one, so your budget stretches to more size and character. Ethics is a real secondary reason, since some buyers choose lab to sidestep conflict-diamond concerns. A natural-diamond segment still genuinely exists, so lab is the budget-and-values fit rather than the only smart choice. A lab diamond also has essentially zero secondary-market resale value, so buy it to wear and keep, not as a financial asset.

Are the salt-and-pepper inclusions flaws?

No. The dark and light specks are natural characteristics of the stone, 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 in Boulder, Colorado, and the listed price is the starting point for the finished ring.
