    Understanding Lab Diamond Quality: The 4Cs

    Every Quorri PURE® stone is hand-selected to meet the highest standard across all four.

    01 — Cut Ideal

    The most important C

    Cut determines how well a diamond reflects light — creating brilliance and fire. Quorri PURE® diamonds are exclusively Ideal cut, the highest grade available.

    02 — Color D – F

    Colorless tier

    The GIA scale runs D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). Every PURE® diamond is graded D–F — the top colorless tier — with no visible tint, just PURE clean light.

    PURE®
    J–ZG–ID–F
    03 — Clarity VS1 – VVS

    Virtually flawless

    Clarity measures internal inclusions and surface blemishes. PURE® diamonds fall within VS1–VVS — imperfections invisible to the naked eye and barely detectable under 10× magnification.

    I1–I3VS–VVSFL–IF
    04 — Carat 1.50ct – 5.00ct+

    Size that fits your budget

    Carat measures a diamond's weight and size. Because PURE® lab grown diamonds cost up to 70% less than mined stones, your budget goes significantly further — letting you choose a larger, higher-quality diamond.

    PURE® Lab Grown Diamonds — Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes. PURE® lab grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds — chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. They have the same chemical composition (pure carbon), the same crystal structure, the same hardness of 10 Mohs, and the same optical properties. The FTC officially recognises lab grown diamonds simply as diamonds. Even the world's leading gemological laboratories grade them to the same standards as mined diamonds.

    No. Even experienced gemologists cannot visually distinguish a PURE® lab grown diamond from a mined diamond without specialised laboratory equipment. Side by side, they are visually, chemically, and physically identical. Advanced spectroscopic instruments are required to detect the difference — and only then through subtle growth pattern characteristics invisible to the naked eye.

    Yes. Every PURE® lab diamond centre stone is accompanied by a full IGI Diamond Grading Report — the internationally recognised grading standard applied to the world's finest diamonds. Each report documents the diamond's cut, colour, clarity, carat weight, symmetry, polish, fluorescence, and laser inscription number. GIA certification is also available upon request.

    No. PURE® lab grown diamonds are visually indistinguishable from mined diamonds — even to trained gemologists examining them without specialised equipment. The same fire, the same brilliance, the same scintillation. The only difference is origin and price.

    A premium 1-carat round PURE® lab grown diamond — D-F colour, VS1-VVS clarity, ideal cut, IGI certified — typically ranges between $1,999 and $2,199 CAD at Quorri. An equivalent mined diamond would cost $8,000 to $12,000 CAD or more. Price varies based on the 4Cs — carat weight, colour, clarity, and cut — as well as shape and any custom specifications.

    Yes. PURE® lab grown diamonds are 100% carbon and pass standard thermal diamond testers exactly the same way mined diamonds do. They are not moissanite and do not trigger moissanite detection on advanced multi-testers. A PURE® lab diamond is a diamond — it passes every field test a mined diamond passes.

    PURE® lab grown diamonds are created using one of two advanced processes. CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) deposits carbon atoms onto a diamond seed in a gas chamber, building the crystal layer by layer over several weeks. HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) subjects a diamond seed to extreme pressure and heat — recreating the conditions found deep within the earth — until carbon crystallizes around it. Both methods produce diamonds that are physically, chemically, and optically identical to mined diamonds.

    Yes. PURE® lab grown diamonds are created under precisely controlled conditions, graded to the same international standards as mined diamonds by IGI, and hand-selected from the top 5% of available stones. The quality is identical — the difference is that you get significantly more diamond for your budget, and you know exactly where your stone came from.

    CVD grows diamonds by depositing carbon atoms onto a seed crystal in a gas chamber. HPHT replicates the extreme pressure and heat conditions found deep within the earth. Both produce genuine diamonds — the difference is in the growth process, not the quality of the finished stone. All PURE® lab grown diamonds, regardless of growth method, are graded to the same D-F colour, VS1-VVS clarity, and ideal cut standard.

    No. PURE® lab grown diamonds rate a perfect 10 on the Mohs hardness scale — identical to mined diamonds and the hardest natural material on earth. Only another diamond can scratch a diamond. Under normal everyday wear, your PURE® lab diamond will maintain its clarity, brilliance, and surface integrity indefinitely.

    Yes. Quorri offers PURE® lab grown diamonds in every shape — round brilliant, oval, cushion, pear, emerald cut, princess, radiant, marquise, asscher, and heart — as well as fancy colour diamonds in yellow, pink, blue, and more. Custom carat sizes and specifications are available upon request. Contact our Canadian diamond specialists to begin your custom diamond consultation.

    Yes. PURE® lab grown diamonds require no mining, no land excavation, and no involvement in conflict zones. Unlike mined diamonds which can carry significant environmental and ethical risks, every PURE® lab grown diamond is produced in a controlled laboratory environment — 100% conflict-free and sustainably created from start to finish.

    Yes. PURE® lab grown diamonds are graded using the exact same 4Cs as mined diamonds — cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight — by expert gemologists at IGI. The grading scale, the standards, and the certification process are identical. The only notation on the IGI report is the growth method — CVD or HPHT — which is a transparent disclosure, not a quality distinction.

    Lab grown diamonds have a developing secondary resale market. The key advantage of PURE® lab grown diamonds is exceptional value at the point of purchase — you receive far more diamond quality for your budget from day one compared to a mined diamond. Quorri also offers a lifetime stone upgrade program, allowing you to upgrade your PURE® diamond at any time as your love story grows.
