Lab Diamond or Natural Diamond? How to Choose the Right One
Whether you’re drawn to the timeless beauty of natural diamonds or the modern brilliance of lab-grown options, understanding the differences—and the importance of certification—will help you make a confident choice.
See the Difference Up Close
At Farsi Jewelers in Sandy Springs, you can view both lab-grown and natural diamonds side by side. Use our custom ring builder to explore different shapes, sizes, and settings. Our GIA Graduate Gemologist will guide you through the details of cut, color, clarity, and certification—so you can see the beauty and value firsthand.
Budget & Value
Lab-grown diamonds often provide a larger look within a set budget, making them ideal for couples seeking sparkle and size. Natural diamonds, on the other hand, carry a sense of rarity, heritage, and long-term value. We help you balance what matters most—beauty, tradition, and investment.
Why Diamond Certification Matters
Whether you choose a natural or lab-grown diamond, certification is essential. A diamond certificate—issued by a trusted lab such as GIA, IGI, or GCAL—verifies the authenticity and quality of your diamond based on the 4Cs: cut, color, clarity, and carat weight.
At Farsi Jewelers, we provide certified diamonds only. This ensures transparency and peace of mind for your investment, especially with larger stones. Certificates also help with insurance, resale value, and confidence that your diamond is ethically sourced and accurately represented.
