Frequently Asked Questions: Diamgold Lab-Grown Diamonds

What exactly is a Lab-Grown Diamond? A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond. It is chemically, physically, and optically identical to a mined diamond. The only difference is that it is grown in a controlled environment using advanced technology rather than being extracted from the earth.

Are these diamonds “real”? Yes. They are 100% carbon and rank a 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness (the hardest material on earth). Even a professional jeweler’s loupe cannot tell the difference between a lab-grown and a mined diamond.

What does “EGL Certified” mean? EGL (European Gemological Laboratory) is an internationally recognized grading authority. Your EGL certificate acts as your diamond’s “flight log”—it provides an official, third-party verification of the diamond’s Carat weight, Color, Clarity, and Cut quality.

Will the 9kt Gold tarnish during international flights? No. We use high-quality 9kt gold specifically for its durability. It is harder than 18kt gold, making it more resistant to scratches and tarnishing—ideal for the active lifestyle of a pilot or frequent traveler navigating different climates and cabin pressures.

How do I care for my jewellery while traveling? Simply clean your diamond with a soft cloth and mild soapy water if it loses its luster from lotions or oils. 9kt gold is robust, but we recommend storing it in the provided travel pouch when passing through airport security or during heavy physical activity.

Is the Protea Ring “Uniform-Friendly”? Yes. While the 1.4ct Grand Legacy is a statement piece, the setting is designed with smooth, hand-finished petals to ensure it doesn’t snag on clothing, flight bags, or cockpit equipment.

Can the rings be resized? We understand that finding the perfect fit can be tricky when shopping online. We offer one complimentary resizing for all Diamgold rings within 30 days of purchase to ensure your “landing” is perfect.
