Lab Grown Diamonds in Canada: Certified, Brilliant & Conflict-Free

Yes. PURE® lab grown diamonds are real diamonds. They share the same chemical composition (pure carbon), the same crystal structure, the same 10 Mohs hardness and the same optical properties as mined diamonds. The FTC recognizes lab grown diamonds as diamonds, and leading gemological laboratories grade them to the same standards.

Not by eye. A PURE® lab grown diamond looks the same as a mined diamond, with the same fire, brilliance and scintillation. Distinguishing the two takes specialized laboratory equipment that detects subtle growth characteristics. The practical differences are origin and price.

Yes. Every PURE® lab diamond centre stone comes with a full IGI Diamond Grading Report documenting cut, colour, clarity, carat weight, symmetry, polish, fluorescence and laser inscription number. GIA certification is also available upon request.

A 1 carat round PURE® lab grown diamond, graded D to F colour, VS1 to VVS clarity and ideal cut with IGI certification, is $999 to $1,299 CAD at Quorri. A comparable mined diamond typically costs $10,000 to $19,000 CAD. Price varies with the 4Cs, shape and any custom specifications. See our price chart.

Yes. PURE® lab grown diamonds are pure carbon and pass standard thermal diamond testers the same way mined diamonds do. They aren't moissanite and don't trigger moissanite detection on advanced multi-testers.

PURE® diamonds are grown from a diamond seed using one of two processes. CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) deposits carbon atoms onto the seed in a gas chamber, building the crystal layer by layer over several weeks. HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) applies extreme pressure and heat, recreating the conditions deep within the earth until carbon crystallizes around the seed. Both produce genuine diamonds.

The difference is the growth process, not the quality of the finished stone. CVD builds a diamond from carbon-rich gas, while HPHT uses extreme pressure and heat. Every PURE® diamond, whichever method grew it, meets the same standard: D to F colour, VS1 to VVS clarity and ideal cut.

Yes. PURE® diamonds are grown under precisely controlled conditions, graded to the same international 4C standards by IGI, and hand-selected from the top 5% of available stones. You receive more diamond for your budget, and you know exactly where your stone came from.

Lab grown diamonds rate 10 on the Mohs scale, the same as mined diamonds, and only another diamond can scratch one. With normal everyday wear, a PURE® diamond keeps its brilliance and polish for a lifetime. Like any fine jewellery, it still benefits from care. See our ring care guide.

Yes. We offer PURE® lab grown diamonds in every popular shape, including round brilliant, oval, cushion, pear, emerald, princess, radiant, marquise, asscher and heart, as well as fancy colours such as yellow, pink and blue. Custom carat sizes are available upon request. Contact our Canadian diamond specialists to begin.

Yes. PURE® lab grown diamonds require no mining, no land excavation and no connection to conflict zones. Each one is created in a controlled laboratory, so the origin of your stone is known from start to finish.

Yes. They're graded on the same 4Cs (cut, colour, clarity and carat weight) by expert gemologists at IGI, using the same scale and standards. The only added notation on the report is the growth method, CVD or HPHT, which is a transparent disclosure and not a quality distinction.

Lab grown diamonds have a developing resale market, so their main advantage is exceptional value at the point of purchase. We also offer a stone upgrade policy so you can upgrade your diamond as your story grows, and a lifetime guarantee on every piece.
