FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

1. How are lab-grown diamonds created?

Lab-grown diamonds are crafted using either Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) methods. Both techniques produce diamonds that are identical to mined diamonds in chemical, physical, and optical qualities. Unlike natural diamonds, which form over millions of years, lab-grown diamonds are created in just a few weeks. They are eco-friendly, ethically responsible, and available in a variety of colors.

2. How does Chicory Jewel ensure ethical sourcing from its suppliers?

At Chicory Jewel, we are committed to ethical and sustainable practices. We carefully select suppliers who meet rigorous standards and comply with certifications from organizations like the Responsible Jewelry Council. Every piece is third-party certified to guarantee authenticity and quality.

3. Are ethically sourced diamonds more expensive?

Not necessarily. In fact, lab-grown diamonds can be 50-60% more affordable than mined diamonds. The cost of a diamond depends on various factors, including its size, quality, and the sustainable methods used in its production.

4. What is recycled gold and platinum, and does recycling affect quality?

Recycled gold and platinum are metals that have been previously used, refined, and repurposed to create new jewelry. Recycling these metals helps conserve resources and reduces environmental impact. The purity and quality remain unaffected by recycling, as each metal is refined to meet high standards, preserving its original karat weight and composition.

5. Does Chicory Jewel adhere to the Kimberley Process and verify ethical sourcing?

Yes, although the Kimberley Process mainly applies to mined diamonds, Chicory Jewel prioritizes ethical sourcing. We only work with trusted, certified suppliers and provide certification from reputable labs, such as the International Gemological Institute (IGI), with every lab-grown diamond purchase.

6. Are lab-grown diamonds rare?

Lab-grown diamonds are less rare than mined diamonds due to their laboratory production. However, each piece of Chicory Jewel’s lab-grown diamond jewelry is uniquely crafted by skilled artisans, making every piece an extraordinary work of art.

7. Are lab-grown diamonds valuable?

Yes, lab-grown diamonds hold value similar to mined diamonds because they share the same qualities in terms of carat, cut, color, and clarity. Due to their eco-friendly creation, lab-grown diamonds are typically more affordable, yet they retain the lasting value of natural diamonds while offering a sustainable choice.
