Both are budget-friendly, ethical alternatives to mined diamonds - but they’re not the same thing. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, just made in a lab instead of dug from the earth. Moissanite? Not a diamond, but a diamond lookalike with serious sparkle (and an even friendlier price tag). Here’s everything you need to know.

There’s a clear shift in priorities among today’s couples. Lab-grown diamonds offer the same beauty and durability as mined diamonds but at a far more accessible price, letting people choose a larger or higher-quality stone within their budget. In the current economy, that financial flexibility is a major reason lab-grown diamonds are becoming the first choice.
