Lab-Grown Diamond Earrings Australia - FAQ
Can you shower in diamond earrings (lab-grown & natural)?
Lab-grown diamond earrings and other diamond jewellery, although a luxurious and timelessly fashionable statement, should be removed before showering. When diamonds are exposed to natural oils, certain soaps, or lotions while we shower, they can become covered with a film that reduces the brilliance and sparkle of the stones.
Diamonds are designed to radiate light when they come in contact with it but having them exposed while bathing can wipe away that shine very quickly. In addition to this, you could easily lose your precious lab-grown diamond earrings down the drain if they were to come off while you shower. It is important to be mindful of this to ensure you protect these precious items.
Should you sleep in lab-grown diamond stud earrings?
Wearing your lab-grown diamond earrings to bed can seem like a glamorous idea, but it could come with serious consequences. Prongs from the earring could get caught in your hair or worse, damage threads on your blankets or sheets.
On top of that, it's possible for the stone's setting to become loose if you move around too much in your sleep. For these reasons, we'd advise against sleeping with your lab-grown diamond earrings in your ears.
Can a jeweller tell the difference between a lab-grown diamond and a
natural diamond?
Professional jewellers and gemologists are experts at distinguishing a variety of gemstones, appliances, antique pieces and more. However, even the most seasoned professional may have difficulty telling the difference between an earth-mined diamond and a lab-created one without using the right tools.
The telltale sign is found in its small inclusions - tiny flaws that can be viewed under microscope magnification - which can differentiate how it was formed. Thus, if anyone wishes to find out for certain if a diamond was created by nature or manufactured in a lab, they would need to speak to a qualified jeweller who specialises in recognising these subtle signs.
Do lab-grown diamonds look cheap?
Lab-grown diamond earrings can offer a stunningly similar look and feel to that of a natural earth-mined diamond. You won't be able to tell the difference between a lab-created and mined diamond, as they share identical characteristics.
By opting for lab-grown diamond earrings, you get all the same attributes as its counterpart at a fraction of the cost - without any compromise on looks or quality. As such, there's no need to worry about your lab-grown diamond earrings looking cheap or appearing any different than one made from an earth-mined stone.
