Lab-grown diamonds, also referred to as cultured or engineered diamonds, are diamonds produced in controlled laboratory environments using advanced technological processes that duplicate the conditions under which diamonds naturally develop beneath the Earth's crust. Instead of taking billions of years to form, these diamonds are produced in a matter of weeks or months. The resulting gems, both chemically and optically, are nearly indistinguishable from natural diamonds.

The International Gemological Institute (IGI) is a prestigious organization within the diamond industry. It provides grading services for both natural and lab-grown diamonds and has established parameters to identify and grade them. IGI acknowledges that lab-grown diamonds have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. The major difference is their origin. When grading, IGI provides specific reports for lab-grown diamonds to ensure transparency and distinction in the marketplace.
