This lab salt-and-pepper diamond is a 3.72 carat kite, cut in a clean step cut and measuring 17.27 by 10.67mm. It is a real diamond, chemically and optically identical to a mined one, with the only difference being that it was grown in a lab rather than pulled from the earth. The scattered specks and clouds you see are salt-and-pepper character, one of a kind to this stone, and they are characteristics, not flaws.

Because it lives outside the traditional white-diamond market, and because it was grown in a lab, this stone gives you dramatically more size and character per dollar than a comparable mined diamond. At $2,460 it is a lot of presence for the money. One honest note: a lab diamond carries essentially zero secondary-market resale value, so choose it to wear and keep, not as a financial asset.

Heather and her team hand-select and vet every stone at Bohemi in Boulder, Colorado, including a close check for any surface-reaching inclusion that could become a fracture point. Bohemi does not sell loose stones. This diamond is set into an engagement ring or a custom piece, and the $2,460 price is the starting point for the ring. 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 controlled lab process instead of being 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 of dollars less than a comparable natural, so your budget stretches to more size and character. Ethics is a real second reason, since some people choose lab to sidestep conflict-diamond concerns. A natural-diamond segment genuinely exists too, so lab is the budget-and-values fit rather than the only smart choice.

Are salt-and-pepper inclusions flaws?

No, they are characteristics, not flaws. The specks and clouds are the same salt-and-pepper look grown in a controlled process, and every stone's pattern is one of a kind. In heavily included stones a surface-reaching inclusion can be a fracture point, so Heather hand-vets every Bohemi stone for exactly that.

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 that ring.
