How To Choose Lab-Created Diamond Color

Lab-created diamonds are the most popular choice when it comes to buying diamond alternatives. These diamonds are made by growing carbon atoms into crystals, resulting in a 100% genuine diamond with the exact composition, brilliance, and durability as a mined diamond, but way cheaper.

In addition to being identical to mined diamonds but less expensive, lab-created diamonds are sustainably sourced and do not produce huge waste compared with mined diamonds. As they are created in a lab instead of mined deep below the earth’s surface, lab-created diamonds don’t endanger the lives of miners or the people around the mining sites.

What’s The Best Color For Lab-Created Diamonds?

In general, white diamonds are rarely really white. Instead, they are either colorless or slightly yellow in hue. On the other hand, diamonds in different colors, such as blue, pink, green, and brown, are referred to as fancy-colored diamonds.

White diamonds are graded according to how noticeable their color is, with grade D being the most colorless and grade Z having the most noticeable, almost brown tint. A white diamond with a "colorless" rating sparkles more and is the most valuable among the other diamond grades.

If you’re looking for the best lab-created diamonds, you should consider buying one with the highest color grade of D. This means that the stone has been graded as completely colorless and is considered the top of the standard set by the Gemological Institute of America. Check out our lab-created diamond color chart below:

Lab-created diamonds with a high grade are more expensive than those with lower grades. They are also more likely to last longer than other stones and tend to be more durable because they haven’t experienced any damage during their growth process. Lastly, they are usually more beautiful than other white diamonds.
