FAQs

Yes, Lagani is proudly based in New Zealand. While we operate primarily online, we also collaborate with trusted retail jewellery partners across the country to showcase and deliver our collections.
Our virtual-first approach allows us to offer high-quality, ethically made lab-grown diamond jewellery at fair prices.

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are real. They are created using cutting-edge technology that mimics the natural process of diamond formation. Lab-grown diamonds possess the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds, but with far less environmental impact.

Lab-grown diamonds are created in a controlled environment using CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) or HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) methods, replicating the natural diamond growth process.

To the naked eye and under a microscope, there’s no visible difference. Only advanced gemmological equipment can identify the origin.

Simulants like cubic zirconia or Moissanite only mimic a diamond’s appearance but lack its hardness, brilliance, and structure. Lab-grown diamonds are actual diamonds while, simulants are not.

Yes. Organisations like the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) and IGI classify lab-grown diamonds as genuine diamonds, not imitations or substitutes.

Yes. Standard thermal conductivity diamond testers will identify lab-grown diamonds as real because they possess the same material properties as natural diamonds.

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds offer a conflict-free and transparent supply chain, unlike many mined diamonds, which can pass through multiple hands, obscuring their origin.

Lab-grown diamonds have a significantly smaller environmental footprint. They don’t require land excavation, deforestation, or excessive water use associated with traditional mining.

While some mined diamonds claim to be “conflict-free,” complete traceability is extremely difficult. Lab-grown diamonds offer a more reliable alternative with transparent sourcing and lower risk of ethical concerns.
