Mined from the earth
Can be produced in a few weeks
Can take billions of years to form
Generally 90% less expensive than natural diamonds
Price can vary based on size, quality, and rarity
Ethical and sustainable option as no mining is involved
Mining can have environmental and ethical concerns
May have slight differences in their crystal structures, which can only be identified by very dedicated & costly machine
Have distinct and unique characteristics, such as inclusions and color
Offer the same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds
Offer the same physical and chemical properties as lab grown diamonds
Can come in larger sizes and a wider range of colors
Limited to colors and sizes found in nature
Resale value may not be as high as natural diamonds
Can hold their value and appreciate over time
