The Truth About Lab-Grown Diamonds: Are They Right for You?

Lab-grown diamonds have exploded in popularity, but what makes them different from mined stones — and are they right for you? At Chapel Hills Jewelry, we sell both, and here’s the truth:

• They’re Real Diamonds – Same chemical, optical, and physical properties as mined diamonds.

• Better Value – You can often get a larger, higher-quality stone for the same budget.

• Eco & Ethical Appeal – No mining, less environmental impact.

• Resale Considerations – Natural diamonds often retain more value long-term, but many buyers prioritize size and quality over resale.
