Let’s face it: the world of diamonds can get a little confusing. With all the fancy lingo floating around, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of terms like “synthetic,” “lab-grown,” “real,” and “fake.” And one of the most burning questions that’s been making waves in the diamond world is: Why does GIVA, a leading jewellery brand, NOT call their diamonds “synthetic”?
Well, grab your magnifying glass and let’s dive into the world of lab-grown diamonds to clear up the confusion while keeping it informative. Ready? Let’s go!
What on Earth Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?
First thing first: let us help you understand what a lab-grown diamond actually is. You have probably heard that diamonds are made of carbon that crystallises under high pressure and heat over millions of years. Well, lab-grown diamonds do the same thing—except instead of waiting for nature to do its thing, scientists speed up the process in a controlled lab environment. Voila!! You get a diamond that is 100% chemically identical to mined diamond.
So, lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, just made in a lab. They are not "fake," “simulated,” or "synthetic," but more on that later.
The Trouble with the Word “Synthetic”
Now, here’s where things start to get tricky. If you Google the word “synthetic,” you’ll find that it’s often used to describe something that’s artificial or not real. In the world of diamonds, this can be misleading. A synthetic diamond, in popular parlance, can sometimes imply that it’s somehow lesser than a mined diamond, or even a knockoff of the real thing.
But wait—lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. They have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. So, why would we use a word that makes them sound less than what they are?
Here’s where GIVA comes in.
Why GIVA Won’t Use Synthetic for Their Diamonds
Made With 14K Gold And Lab-Grown Diamonds
We, one of the coolest jewellery brands out there, have chosen to steer clear of the word "synthetic" when describing our lab-grown diamonds. And for good reason! We believe in educating consumers, not confusing them. The term just doesn’t cut it. It brings along with it the baggage of negativity, leading some to believe that lab-grown diamonds are "fake.”
Instead, we prefer terms like “lab grown” because they reflect the truth: these diamonds are real; they were just created in a lab rather than being mined. No shortcuts, no cutting corners—just some very clever science-gorgeous diamonds that are ethical, sustainable, and stunning.
GIVA is all about transparency and trust, and they want their customers to feel confident that the diamonds they’re buying are just as real as the ones from deep within the Earth—without the environmental and ethical baggage that comes with mining.

The Ethical and Sustainable Side of Lab Diamonds
Speaking of environmental baggage, that is one of the key reasons why lab diamonds are gaining so much popularity. Mining diamonds is resource-intensive and has a significant environmental impact. From the destruction of habitats to water consumption, it’s no secret that traditional diamond mining isn’t exactly eco-friendly.
On the other hand, lab-grown diamonds are much more sustainable. They require far less energy and water to create, and there’s no need to disturb ecosystems or communities. For the eco-conscious shopper, choosing a lab diamond is a clear win for the planet.
Not to mention, these diamonds are also conflict-free. With no need to source diamonds from war-torn regions or under exploitative conditions, lab-grown diamonds offer peace of mind to those who care about ethics in their purchases.
Are Lab Grown Diamonds More Affordable? Oh, You Bet

Here’s a fun little secret: because lab-grown diamonds don’t require the expensive mining process, they’re typically much more affordable than their counterparts. That means you can get a larger, more dazzling diamond for a fraction of the price!
At GIVA, this means that you can enjoy luxury without the luxury price tag. Who doesn’t love a good deal, especially when it’s both stunning and sustainable?
