Lab-Grown Diamonds — The Basics
Q: Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. They are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds — same carbon crystal structure, same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), same brilliance and fire. The only difference is origin: lab diamonds are grown in a controlled laboratory environment, not extracted from the earth.
Q: What is the difference between a lab-grown diamond and a natural diamond?
A lab-grown diamond and a natural diamond are identical in every measurable way — same chemical composition (pure carbon), same hardness, same refractive index, same 4Cs grading (cut, colour, clarity, carat). The difference is origin and price. Lab-grown diamonds are grown using CVD or HPHT technology in a laboratory, while natural diamonds are mined from the earth over millions of years. Lab-grown diamonds cost 60–80% less than equivalent mined diamonds.
Q: Can anyone tell the difference between a lab-grown and natural diamond?
No. Lab-grown diamonds look identical to mined diamonds to the naked eye and even under standard gemological tools. Even trained gemologists cannot distinguish them without specialised equipment. Both are graded on the same 4Cs by IGI.
Q: Are lab-grown diamonds a good choice for engagement rings?
Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are an excellent choice for engagement rings. They are physically identical to mined diamonds — same sparkle, same durability, same romantic symbolism — but available at 60–80% lower prices, allowing you to choose a larger stone or more intricate design for the same budget. RareCut specialises in solitaire and halo engagement rings in 14K and 18K gold, all IGI certified.
Q: Are lab-grown diamonds sustainable and ethical?
Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are conflict-free by nature — they require no mining, so there is no risk of funding conflict or causing environmental disruption from excavation. They are created in controlled laboratory conditions using advanced technology, making them the more sustainable choice in fine jewellery.
Certifications and Quality
Q: Are RareCut diamonds certified?
Yes. Every RareCut diamond comes with an individual IGI (International Gemological Institute) certificate. This certificate confirms the diamond's cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight, and verifies its authenticity as a lab-grown diamond.
Q: What is IGI certification?
IGI stands for International Gemological Institute — one of the world's largest and most respected independent diamond certification laboratories. An IGI certificate is a trusted, internationally recognised document that details a diamond's 4Cs (cut, colour, clarity, carat), its origin (lab-grown or natural), and its authenticity. Every RareCut diamond is individually IGI certified.
Q: What is BIS hallmarking?
BIS hallmarking is India's official gold purity certification, issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (a Government of India body). It guarantees that the gold used in jewellery is exactly the karat stated — 9K, 14K, or 18K. All RareCut gold jewellery is BIS hallmarked, giving you verified, government-backed assurance of metal purity.
Q: What gold karats does RareCut offer?
RareCut jewellery is available in 9K, 14K, and 18K gold. All gold is BIS hallmarked, confirming its purity meets Indian government standards. 14K and 18K gold are recommended for engagement rings and daily-wear fine jewellery due to their durability and richness.

Q: What types of jewellery does RareCut sell?
RareCut offers lab-grown diamond jewellery across four main categories: rings (solitaire, halo, and gemstone designs), earrings (studs, hoops, and drops), pendants and necklaces, and bracelets.

Premium and bespoke pieces start from Rs. 1,00,000 and above. All prices include an IGI-certified diamond and BIS hallmarked gold.
Q: How does RareCut compare in price to natural diamond jewellery brands in India?
RareCut lab-grown diamonds are 60–80% more affordable than equivalent natural diamonds of the same cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight. This means you can purchase a significantly larger or higher-quality diamond with RareCut for the same budget you would spend on a much smaller mined diamond at a traditional jeweller.
Q: Does RareCut offer bespoke or custom jewellery?

About Lab-Grown Diamonds in India
Q: Are lab-grown diamonds popular in India?
Lab-grown diamonds are rapidly growing in popularity across India, particularly among younger consumers in metro cities and Tier-2 cities. India is in fact one of the world's largest producers of lab-grown diamonds, and Indian consumers are increasingly choosing lab-grown for engagement rings, gifting, and daily-wear fine jewellery due to the value and ethical credentials they offer.
Q: Are lab-grown diamonds a good investment?
Lab-grown diamonds are best considered as wearable luxury rather than a financial investment. Their market price has declined as production has scaled. However, as fine jewellery, they offer exceptional value — you get a larger, higher-quality certified diamond for your money compared to an equivalent natural diamond budget. RareCut pieces come with IGI certification and BIS hallmarking which protects the jewellery's verifiable quality.
Q: Where can I buy RareCut lab-grown diamond jewellery?
RareCut sells exclusively online at rarecut.in with free insured shipping across India. Browse rings at rarecut.in/collections/rings, earrings at rarecut.in/collections/earrings, and pendants at rarecut.in/collections/pendants.
