Are lab grown diamonds durable?
With lab-grown diamonds increasing in popularity, their durability is often top of mind. How do their wearability and toughness stack up against conventional diamonds? Let’s explore some key insights.
Understanding Diamond Durability: The Science Behind the Sparkle
To appreciate why lab-grown diamonds from Labrilliante are remarkably durable, we need to understand what makes diamonds the hardest natural substance on Earth. Diamond durability isn't just about hardness—it encompasses several crucial properties that ensure your precious gem maintains its beauty throughout a lifetime of wear.
Atomic Structure & Hardness
At the molecular level, both lab-grown and natural diamonds consist of carbon atoms arranged in a tetrahedral crystal lattice. This tight, three-dimensional structure forms incredibly strong covalent bonds between atoms, creating a material that resists scratching from virtually any other substance. This is why diamonds—including those created in Labrilliante's advanced laboratories—score a perfect 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them resistant to everyday wear that would damage other gemstones.
The carbon lattice structure of lab-grown diamonds is identical to that of natural diamonds on an atomic level. This structural equivalence is what gives Labrilliante diamonds their exceptional scratch resistance and durability.
Toughness vs. Hardness
While hardness measures scratch resistance, toughness refers to a diamond's ability to resist breaking or chipping when impacted. Diamonds can be tough, but they aren't indestructible. Their crystalline structure contains cleavage planes—directions along which the stone can split if struck with sufficient force at precise angles.
Lab-grown diamonds from Labrilliante offer an advantage here: during the controlled growth process, we can minimize inclusions and structural flaws that might compromise a diamond's toughness. With fewer internal stress points, properly cut lab-grown diamonds can exhibit excellent impact resistance.
Heat & Chemical Stability
Diamonds are remarkably stable under extreme conditions. They can withstand temperatures exceeding 1500°C without damage and resist most chemicals encountered in daily life. Lab-grown diamonds share this exceptional stability, showing no significant differences in thermal or chemical resilience compared to their natural counterparts. This stability ensures your Labrilliante diamond maintains its brilliance even through decades of exposure to environmental factors.
Diamond Properties & Characteristics
| Property | Measurement | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness Resistance to scratching | 10/10 Mohs Scale | Highest scratch resistance of any gemstone |
| Thermal Stability Heat resistance | Stable to >1500°C | Withstands extreme heat without damage |
| Chemical Resistance Reaction to substances | Inert to most substances | Resistant to household chemicals |
| Diamond Structure: The tetrahedral carbon lattice provides exceptional strength across all measured properties | ||
Lab-Grown vs. Natural Diamonds: A Comprehensive Durability Comparison
When comparing the durability of Labrilliante's lab-grown diamonds to natural diamonds, it's important to understand that their physical and chemical properties are remarkably similar. This section breaks down the key factors that influence durability and explains why lab-grown diamonds stand toe-to-toe with their mined counterparts.

Structural Equivalence
The creation process for lab-grown diamonds at Labrilliante uses either Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) technology to replicate the conditions under which natural diamonds form in the earth. These methods produce diamonds with the same carbon crystal structure as mined diamonds:
- CVD Process: Carbon atoms derived from methane gas are deposited layer by layer onto a diamond seed crystal, creating a diamond with a primarily cubic structure.
- HPHT Process: Carbon is subjected to extreme pressure (approximately 1.5 million pounds per square inch) and temperatures exceeding 2,700°F, mimicking the natural diamond formation process.
The result is a diamond that's atomically identical to those formed over billions of years underground, ensuring comparable durability characteristics.
Inclusion Control
One area where Labrilliante lab-grown diamonds may actually have a durability advantage is in inclusion control. Natural diamonds form under unpredictable conditions over millions of years, often trapping various minerals and developing internal flaws that can affect structural integrity.
In our controlled laboratory environment, we can minimize these inclusions, resulting in diamonds with:
- Fewer internal stress points
- Reduced vulnerability to chipping along inclusion lines
- Greater structural homogeneity
- Enhanced clarity without compromising strength
This precision control means many lab-grown diamonds have fewer potential weak points than their natural counterparts of equivalent clarity grades.
Cleavage Plane Risks
Both natural and lab-grown diamonds have identical cleavage planes—specific directions along which they can split if struck with sufficient force. These planes exist along the octahedral crystal faces and represent the only significant vulnerability in a diamond's structure.
This identical crystallographic characteristic means that both types of diamonds should be set and worn with the same care considerations. Labrilliante ensures all our diamonds are cut and set to minimize exposure of these vulnerable planes, protecting your investment regardless of its origin.
Can You Scratch a Diamond? Understanding the Limits of Diamond Hardness
When discussing diamond durability, one of the most common questions is whether a diamond can be scratched. The simple answer is both fascinating and nuanced—let's explore the science behind diamond scratch resistance.
Diamond vs. Diamond
While diamonds earn a perfect 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them the hardest natural substance known, they aren't entirely immune to scratching. The most surprising fact is that <strong>only a diamond can scratch another diamond</strong>. This is due to the identical carbon crystal structure that gives both lab-grown and natural diamonds their exceptional hardness.
At Labrilliante, we often explain this paradox to our customers: diamonds are scratch-resistant against virtually everything they'll encounter in daily life, but should be stored separately from other diamonds to prevent potential contact scratches.
Directional Hardness: A Little-Known Fact
What many don't realize is that diamonds exhibit what gemologists call "directional hardness." This means that diamonds are slightly harder in some crystal directions than others. In practical terms:
- Diamonds are most resistant to scratching across the crystal faces
- They are slightly less resistant along certain crystallographic planes
- This difference is microscopic and generally only relevant to diamond cutters
This natural property exists in both lab-grown and mined diamonds, as it's inherent to the crystal structure itself.
Preventing Diamond Scratches
While the theoretical possibility of diamond-on-diamond scratching exists, Labrilliante customers can easily protect their investments with these simple precautions:
- Store each diamond piece separately in soft-lined compartments
- Remove diamond jewelry before handling other diamond pieces
- Have diamonds professionally cleaned and inspected annually to check for any microscopic surface wear
The Truth About "Diamond Scratch Tests"
You may have seen videos of people attempting to "scratch test" diamonds. It's important to understand that:
- Many purported diamond scratch tests using household items are actually testing the setting metal, not the diamond
- Authentic tests conducted by gemologists use carefully controlled conditions
- Consumer diamond testers use electrical/thermal conductivity, not scratching, to identify diamonds
Labrilliante diamonds undergo rigorous hardness verification during our quality assurance process, confirming their exceptional scratch resistance meets the same standard as natural diamonds.
Diamond Scratch Resistance Comparison
| Material | Mohs Hardness | Can It Scratch Diamond? |
|---|---|---|
| Diamond Natural or lab-grown | 10 | Yes - the only natural material that can |
| Moissanite Silicon carbide | 9.25 | No - insufficient hardness |
| Sapphire/Ruby Corundum | 9 | No - cannot affect diamond surface |
| Steel File Hardened metal | 6.5 | No - will be scratched by diamond instead |
| Glass Silica-based | 5.5 | No - diamond will easily scratch glass |
| Fingernail Keratin protein | 2.5 | No - extremely soft compared to diamond |
| Practical Implication: Labrilliante lab-grown diamonds are virtually immune to scratching from any material encountered in everyday life, with only other diamonds posing any potential scratch risk | ||
Remember that while diamonds can only be scratched by other diamonds, their perfect cleavage planes mean they can still chip if struck at exactly the right angle with sufficient force. This is why proper settings and careful handling remain important despite a diamond's exceptional scratch resistance.
At Labrilliante, we ensure our lab-grown diamonds offer the same legendary hardness as natural diamonds, giving you peace of mind that your jewelry will maintain its pristine appearance through daily wear for generations to come.
Diamond Myths Debunked: Separating Fact from Fiction
This is perhaps the most persistent myth about lab-grown diamonds, and it's completely false. Lab-grown diamonds, including all diamonds from Labrilliante, do not fade, cloud, or change color over time under normal wearing conditions.
The confusion likely stems from some consumers mixing up lab-grown diamonds with diamond simulants like cubic zirconia or moissanite, which can indeed show signs of wear or cloudiness over years of use. True lab-grown diamonds have the same optical stability as natural diamonds because they are chemically identical—pure carbon in a crystalline structure.
Scientific evidence confirms that a lab-grown diamond's brilliance and color will remain as eternal as that of a mined diamond. Independent testing by gemological laboratories has verified that lab-created diamonds maintain their optical properties even under accelerated aging conditions.
Another common misconception is that lab-grown diamonds are somehow more brittle or prone to chipping than natural diamonds. This myth has no scientific basis. Because lab-grown diamonds from Labrilliante have the identical carbon crystal structure as natural diamonds, they have the same physical properties.
In fact, the controlled growing environment often results in fewer internal flaws and inclusions, which can actually make some lab-grown diamonds more resistant to impact damage than their natural counterparts with similar clarity grades.
Impact and chip resistance tests conducted by independent gemological institutes consistently show that lab-grown diamonds perform just as well as natural diamonds when subjected to standardized force tests. Both types can chip if struck at the right angle along a cleavage plane—this is a characteristic of the diamond crystal structure itself, not a reflection of origin.
Some misinformation suggests that lab-grown diamonds might be more vulnerable to household chemicals or cleaning solutions. This is categorically untrue. Both natural and lab-grown diamonds are composed of the same chemical element—carbon—and arranged in identical crystal structures.
This chemical composition makes all diamonds highly resistant to common household chemicals. You can safely clean your Labrilliante lab-grown diamond with standard jewelry cleaning solutions without any risk of damage. Neither acid-based cleaners nor alkaline solutions will affect your diamond's structure or appearance.
The only substances that can damage diamonds (whether lab-grown or natural) are those that can induce oxidation at extremely high temperatures—conditions you would never encounter in daily life.
Common Myths About Lab-Grown Diamond Durability
| Common Myth | Scientific Reality |
|---|---|
| "Lab diamonds fade over time" Misconception about color stability | Lab-grown diamonds maintain their color and clarity indefinitely |
| "Lab diamonds break easily" Myth about structural integrity | They have identical hardness and similar or better resistance to breaking |
| "Lab diamonds aren't 'real' diamonds" Question of authenticity | They are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds |
| "They can't be passed down as heirlooms" Concern about longevity | Lab diamonds will last for generations, just like natural diamonds |
| Scientific Consensus: Independent laboratory testing confirms that lab-grown diamonds demonstrate identical durability characteristics to natural diamonds | |
Preserving Your Labrilliante Diamond: Care and Maintenance Guide
While lab-grown diamonds are extremely durable, proper care ensures they maintain their exceptional brilliance for a lifetime. Labrilliante diamonds deserve the same attention and protection as any fine jewelry investment. Here's how to keep your lab-created diamond looking its best for generations to come.
Setting Considerations for Maximum Protection
The setting of your diamond plays a crucial role in its long-term durability. Even though diamonds are incredibly hard, certain setting styles provide better protection against accidental impacts:
- Bezel Settings: Provide maximum protection by surrounding the diamond's girdle with metal, ideal for active lifestyles.
- Halo Settings: The small diamonds surrounding the center stone can help absorb shock from accidental bumps.
- Prong Settings: While popular for maximizing light exposure, ensure prongs are checked regularly for security.
At Labrilliante, we carefully engineer our settings to minimize pressure on potential weak points. Even with the perfectly grown crystal structure of our lab diamonds, proper setting design is essential to prevent concentrated force on cleavage planes that could risk chipping.
We recommend having your prongs checked annually by a professional jeweler to ensure they maintain proper tension and position. Loose prongs not only risk stone loss but can also expose diamond edges to potential impact damage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lab-Grown Diamond Durability
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are exactly as durable as natural diamonds. Both score 10 on the Mohs hardness scale and have identical carbon crystal structures. Scientific testing confirms they have the same scratch resistance, heat tolerance, and chemical stability as mined diamonds.
Absolutely! Lab-grown diamonds are just as permanent as natural diamonds. They won't fade, cloud, or degrade over time. The carbon bonds that form diamond crystals are extremely stable, allowing both natural and lab-grown diamonds to last for generations as family heirlooms.
Like natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds can chip if struck forcefully at specific angles along their cleavage planes. However, this is a characteristic of all diamond crystal structures, not a defect. With proper settings and reasonable care, lab-grown diamonds will resist damage through decades of daily wear.
Interestingly, no. While CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) and HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) use different processes to create diamonds, the end result is structurally identical. Both methods produce true diamonds with the same durability characteristics. However, some HPHT diamonds may contain trace elements of metals that could theoretically respond differently to specialized jewelry equipment like ultrasonic cleaners.
Yes! Round brilliant cuts typically offer the best durability because they have no corners that can chip. Princess cuts, with their pointed corners, are generally the most vulnerable to damage. Cushion cuts and oval cuts provide a good balance between unique appearance and durability.
Lab-grown diamonds have identical chemical resistance to natural diamonds, allowing them to withstand typical jewelry cleaning solutions and household chemicals. However, harsh cleaning agents might damage the metal settings, so it's still important to use appropriate diamond jewelry cleaners for both types.
No, a gemologist would not be able to detect any difference in wear patterns between lab-grown and natural diamonds after decades of use. Because they are atomically identical, they age in exactly the same way and develop the same microscopic wear characteristics over time.
This is a common misconception. Diamond itself (whether lab-grown or natural) is hypoallergenic and won't cause skin reactions. Any skin sensitivity is typically related to the metal in the setting, not the diamond. That said, Labrilliante's lab-grown diamonds undergo rigorous purification during creation, ensuring they're free from any potential irritants that might occasionally be present in natural diamond inclusions.
