Why Lab Grown Diamonds are Special:

Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically the same as mined diamonds. The only exception is that lab grown diamonds are created in a laboratory as compared to mined diamonds which are created by Mother Earth. Due to advancements in technology, diamonds can now be grown in a laboratory and are significantly less expensive than their natural counterparts which are typically found miles beneath the earth’s surface. Both lab grown diamonds and mined diamonds begin their journey as a crystal formation. It is only the skill of the diamond cutter that unlocks the beauty and brilliance of the diamond.

On November 4, Wesche Jewelers opened a special new lab-grown diamond boutique within their store. They are proud to be in partnership with Surreal Diamonds, the world’s largest grower of lab grown diamonds. Wesche’s has the distinction of being one of only a few retailers in the U.S who is actually a grower. This allows Wesche Jewelers to offer the very best price and best quality of lab grown diamonds. Wesche Jewelers has long been considered the mined diamond experts. They are now also the leaders in lab grown diamonds.
