One of the biggest questions we hear is: Should I choose a lab-grown diamond or a natural diamond?
The good news? Both are real diamonds. The decision simply comes down to what aligns with your vision, values, and goals.

Understanding the Difference

Lab-Grown Diamonds
These diamonds are created in advanced labs that replicate the natural diamond-growing process. They offer:

• Larger carat sizes for the same budget
• Exceptional clarity and sparkle
• A modern, ethical choice favored by many younger buyers

Natural Diamonds
Formed deep within the earth over billions of years, they’re treasured for:

• Their rarity and timeless appeal
• Long-term heirloom value
• Their deep emotional significance

Both are beautiful — but they speak to different priorities.

Why the Holidays Are the Ideal Time to Explore Diamonds

At Affinity & Co. Jewelers, the holidays mean expanded inventory, special collections, and an elevated shopping experience. You’ll have access to:

• A wider selection of center stones
• Popular engagement styles that often sell out earlier in the year

And because December is the most popular month for proposals, our team is ready to help clients plan the perfect moment.
