Lab Grown Diamonds Australia
Lab-Grown diamonds are real diamonds created in advanced laboratories instead of being mined from the earth. They have the same chemical, physical and optical properties as mined diamonds, offering exceptional sparkle, durability and beauty.
At Pear Jewels Australia, we specialise in premium Lab-Grown diamond engagement rings and fine jewellery for modern Australian buyers. Many of our diamonds are IGI certified, giving you confidence in their cut, colour, clarity and carat details before you buy.
What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?
Lab-Grown diamonds are diamonds created using technology that recreates the natural conditions under which diamonds form. They are made from carbon and have the same crystal structure as mined diamonds.
They are not imitation stones. A Lab-Grown diamond is different from moissanite or cubic zirconia because it is a genuine diamond with diamond hardness, brilliance and sparkle.

How Are Lab-Grown Diamonds Made?
The two main methods used to create Lab-Grown diamonds are CVD and HPHT. CVD stands for Chemical Vapour Deposition, while HPHT stands for High Pressure High Temperature.
Both processes create real diamonds that are then cut, polished and graded like mined diamonds. The final beauty of the stone depends on the same 4Cs: cut, colour, clarity and carat.
Are Lab-Grown Diamonds Real?
Yes. Lab-Grown diamonds are real diamonds. They have the same optical and physical properties as mined diamonds and can be tested as diamonds using professional equipment.
The difference is origin. Mined diamonds form naturally underground, while Lab-Grown diamonds are created above ground in controlled laboratory environments.
Benefits of Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-Grown diamonds usually offer stronger value than mined diamonds, allowing customers to choose a larger carat weight or higher colour and clarity within the same budget.
They are especially popular for engagement rings, wedding bands, earrings, tennis bracelets and pendants because they combine luxury, beauty and thoughtful sourcing.
Certification and Quality
Certification is important when buying a Lab-Grown diamond. An IGI certificate can confirm important details such as carat weight, colour, clarity, measurements and diamond origin.
Pear Jewels offers IGI certified Lab-Grown diamonds whenever applicable, helping customers shop with clarity and confidence.
Buying Lab-Grown Diamonds in Australia
When buying Lab-Grown diamonds, focus on the 4Cs, certification, setting quality and overall craftsmanship. A well-cut diamond with balanced colour and clarity will usually look more beautiful than a diamond selected only for size.
