The process of gathering natural diamonds is a very dangerous and environmentally unfriendly process that disrupts thousands of acres of earth, uses hundreds of gallons of water, and causes major air pollution. Lab grown diamonds are the solution to this problem, being much safer to produce instead of mine, and do not harm the environment nearly as much as the collection of natural diamonds. The quality of lab diamonds are also equally as grand as natural diamonds, having the same chemical composition, structure, and refractive index, a lab grown diamond will be nearly indistinguishable from a natural diamond while being far more sustainable and eco-friendlier. Lab grown diamonds also benefit from being less expensive than natural diamonds as well since they are much easier to acquire then natural.
