This lab salt-and-pepper diamond is a 1.32 carat lozenge, step cut, measuring 10.97 x 8.28mm. Its scattered salt-and-pepper speckles and clouds are characteristics of the stone, not flaws, and the pattern is one of a kind. 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 pulled from the earth.

Because a salt-and-pepper diamond lives outside the traditional white-diamond market, and because this one was grown rather than mined, you get dramatically more stone per dollar. A lab diamond can run many thousands of dollars less than a comparable natural, so the budget stretches to more size and more character. Buy it to wear and keep: a lab diamond has essentially no secondary-market resale value, so the value lives in the ring on your hand, not in a resale ledger.

Every Bohemi stone is hand-selected and hand-vetted by Heather and her team in Boulder, Colorado, including a check that no surface-reaching inclusion sits where it could become a fracture point. Bohemi does not sell loose stones. This 1.32 carat diamond is set into an engagement ring or a custom piece, and the $870 price is the starting point for the 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 rather than pulled from the earth. It is not a simulant and it is 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, so the 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 genuinely exists too, so lab is the budget-and-values fit, not the only smart choice.

Are salt-and-pepper inclusions flaws?

No. The speckles and clouds are characteristics of the stone, and every pattern is one of a kind. In heavily included stones a surface-reaching inclusion can be 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 $870 price is the starting point for the finished ring.
