This is a 1.02 carat lab-grown white diamond in a hexagon mixed cut, measuring 8.61 by 4.92mm. A lab diamond is a real diamond, chemically and optically identical to a mined one, grown in a lab rather than pulled from the ground. This one is a colorless, high-clarity stone, so it reads bright and clean face up, with the geometric edge of a hexagon outline.

Because the cost of a lab diamond runs far below a mined diamond of the same size, the budget stretches to more stone and more character for the money. There is a real trade-off to know going in: a lab diamond has essentially no secondary-market resale value, so it is a stone to wear and keep rather than an asset to hold. Heather hand-selects every stone at Bohemi in Boulder, Colorado.

Bohemi does not sell loose stones. This diamond is set into an engagement ring or a custom piece designed with Heather, and the $1,270 price is the starting point for that ring. To see how it could sit, 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 was grown in a lab rather than mined, so it is never fake or lesser.

Why choose a lab diamond?

Cost is the main reason. A lab diamond costs far less than a mined diamond of the same size, so your budget stretches to more size and character. Ethics is a real secondary reason. One honest note: a lab diamond has essentially no resale value, so buy it to wear and keep, not as an asset.

How durable is it for everyday wear?

Very durable. This diamond is a Mohs 10, the same hardness as any diamond and the hardest known material, which makes it 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 designed with Heather in Boulder, Colorado, and the listed price is the starting point for that ring.
