Diamonds

01Is my diamond laser-inscribed?

Almost all diamonds graded by GIA, IGI and HRD are laser-inscribed on the girdle with a unique identification number.

02Does my diamond come with a certificate?

Every diamond purchase comes with a certificate from an independent laboratory: GIA, IGI or HRD.

03Can I buy a loose diamond without a setting?

Yes. You can buy our loose diamonds without a setting.

04Where can I learn more about diamonds?

Visit our Training Centre page and you will find everything you want to know about diamonds. For direct, detailed information, contact us or book a free personal consultation.

05Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes, absolutely. The main difference between the two lies in their origin. While a mined diamond comes from a mine, a lab grown diamond, like those sold by Bon Gioielli, has a guaranteed and controlled laboratory origin. Since 2018, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”, the US government agency responsible for consumer protection) has placed lab grown diamonds on an equal footing with mined diamonds, recognising both as genuine diamonds.

06Are lab grown diamonds graded and certified like natural ones?

Yes, lab grown diamonds are graded and certified to the same standards as natural diamonds by the leading international institutes in the industry. These institutes issue certificates that clearly distinguish lab grown diamonds from natural ones, usually with a different background colour and a certificate number beginning with "LG", while the description states "LABORATORY GROWN DIAMOND".

07How long do these diamonds last?

Because lab grown diamonds are chemically and optically identical to natural diamonds, they offer the same longevity and durability. Lab grown diamonds promise a brilliance that lasts a lifetime.

08Is there a difference between lab grown diamonds and diamond simulants?

Certainly! There is a significant difference between lab grown diamonds and diamond simulants. Simulants such as cubic zirconia or moissanite are synthetic crystals with a different chemical composition from diamonds and a different crystal structure. As a result, they differ from diamonds in durability, brilliance and appearance. Lab grown diamonds, on the other hand, are not imitations: they are real diamonds with the same chemical composition as natural diamonds. They therefore have the same brilliance and hardness as diamonds mined from the earth.

09Are lab grown diamonds flawless?

No. Just as with natural diamonds, the lab grown diamonds on sale vary in quality. Although they are produced in controlled environments, every stone has its own unique quality characteristics. To ensure transparency and reliability, every diamond comes with an international gemmological certificate and a video showing its distinctive features.

10Do lab grown diamonds go cloudy or turn yellow?

No, unlike diamond simulants, lab grown diamonds will not become cloudy over time. These diamonds will not cloud, yellow or change colour over the years. This is because lab grown diamonds are identical to natural diamonds in both chemical composition and optical properties.

11Do lab grown diamonds have value?

Natural diamonds are valuable because of their rarity. Lab grown diamonds, however, have value in terms of beauty and durability. Lab diamonds bring lasting brilliance to every kind of jewellery. Because lab diamonds have no inherent rarity, they are priced lower than natural diamonds.

12Why choose lab grown diamonds?

There are several reasons to choose lab grown diamonds: Ethics: lab grown diamonds are considered an ethical choice, as they do not involve mining, which can be associated with problems such as child labour and environmental damage. Sustainability: producing diamonds in a laboratory requires fewer natural resources than mining, reducing environmental impact and contributing to sustainability. Controlled quality: lab grown diamonds are produced in controlled environments, which allows greater control over the quality and purity of the diamond. Accessible price: lab grown diamonds tend to be more affordable than natural diamonds, offering high-quality jewellery at a more accessible price. Personalised options: because lab grown diamonds can be produced on demand, there are more options for tailoring the diamond's characteristics to the customer's preferences. In short, lab grown diamonds offer an ethical, sustainable and high-quality alternative to natural diamonds, making them an attractive choice for many conscious buyers.

13What kind of jewellery suits lab grown diamonds?

Lab grown diamonds suit a wide range of jewellery, just like natural diamonds. Popular options include: Engagement rings and wedding rings: lab diamonds are an excellent choice for engagement rings and wedding rings, offering beauty, brilliance and durability without the high cost associated with natural diamonds. Earrings: lab grown diamonds can be used to create stunning earrings, classic or modern depending on the design and style you prefer. Necklaces and pendants: a lab diamond can be the perfect centrepiece for a necklace or pendant, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to any outfit. Bracelets: lab grown diamonds can be set in precious tennis bracelets that add a touch of luxury to the wrist. In short, lab grown diamonds lend themselves to a wide range of jewellery, offering the elegance and beauty of natural diamonds at a more accessible price.

14How are lab grown diamonds made?

Lab diamonds are most commonly made using one of two processes: chemical vapour deposition (CVD) or high pressure, high temperature (HPHT). Both methods produce rough diamonds which, once cut, are identical to natural ones.

15Are lab grown diamonds a good investment?

Buying lab grown diamonds can be considered a good investment, depending on the customer's priorities when it comes to jewellery. These diamonds offer the same optical and chemical properties as natural diamonds, but at a much lower cost. However, it is important to bear in mind that their appreciation in value over time may differ from that of natural diamonds, and will depend on various factors such as the market and current trends.

16Could you tell natural and lab grown diamonds apart?

No. Even an experienced gemmologist cannot identify lab grown diamonds from their inclusions alone, even after careful analysis under the microscope, except in rare cases where the inclusions are typical and characteristic of how the crystal formed. Specialist equipment is needed for accurate identification.

17Do lab grown diamonds sparkle in the same way?

Yes, lab diamonds sparkle just like natural diamonds. This is because lab diamonds have the same optical and chemical qualities as natural diamonds.

18What are the advantages of lab grown diamonds?

Because lab-made diamonds can be produced on a large scale, they do not have the same rarity as natural gems. This difference in rarity is reflected in the price, making lab diamonds significantly more affordable than natural ones. Lab grown diamonds also offer other advantages, such as ethical and environmental considerations.

19Can lab grown diamonds be insured?

Lab grown diamonds and lab grown diamond jewellery can be insured. Although Bon Gioielli does not offer insurance policies directly, it provides its customers with a gemmological appraisal and a certificate of authenticity for the product purchased. This detailed documentation allows customers to give their personal or home insurer all the information needed to ensure adequate cover.

20What is the best way to clean lab grown diamonds?

Lab grown diamonds can be cleaned in the same way as natural diamonds. The best method is to use an ultrasonic cleaner.

21What are lab grown diamonds?

Lab grown diamonds are diamonds created in a controlled environment inside a laboratory. They are genuine diamonds, with the same durability and beauty as natural diamonds. The main difference is that lab grown diamonds are produced artificially over weeks or months, rather than forming naturally over millennia deep within the earth.

22Where is the best place to buy lab grown diamonds?

When looking to buy lab grown diamonds, it is essential to choose trusted jewellers. Here at Bon Gioielli, we are committed to the highest standards for all our lab diamonds and jewellery. We offer a wide selection of lab grown diamonds, certified through the best certification processes available on the market.

Rings

02Are your bespoke rings more expensive than ordering one directly from your website?

The simple answer is no. The price of a bespoke piece depends on the design and the type of metal you choose. If you have a budget in mind, we can create something to suit it. At Bon Gioielli we specialise in bespoke engagement rings and bespoke wedding rings.

04Does my diamond come with a certificate?

Every diamond purchase comes with an independent laboratory certificate from GIA, IGI or HRD for authentication.

05How do I find my ring size?

There are several ways to determine your ring size. Additional charges may apply if resizing falls outside the sizing range recommended by the jeweller. Please bear in mind that we cannot resize Eternity rings, as they have to be completely remade. Some ring styles may also limit resizing, because of the extent of the change required or the design itself. It is therefore very important to order the correct size when you buy. For more information or to resize your ring, contact us.

06Can I see your rings in person?

Of course, our exclusive rings are available in our boutique. Although we do not have retail shops everywhere, we have a team of highly experienced jewellery specialists who can help you remotely to choose the right engagement ring or wedding ring from our website. Contact us and our jewellery experts will be delighted to help.

07What if I want a centre stone shape that isn't offered for a setting I like?

Many of our settings can easily be adapted to a centre stone shape other than the ones offered online. You can request a bespoke render: €30.00 for a rendered image with a quote, which will be deducted when the order is confirmed.

08Are all your white gold rings rhodium-plated?

Yes, all our 18kt white gold rings are rhodium-plated to give them a brilliant white finish.

09Can I make a small change to a ring I've seen on your website?

Absolutely! Contact us and our jewellery expert will be happy to help.

10Do you buy diamonds or jewellery?

We're sorry, we do not buy diamonds or jewellery.

11Can you engrave my ring?

Certainly, we can personalise your ring with an engraving free of charge when you place your order. Please bear in mind, however, that engraved products are non-refundable, as they are considered personalised products.

12What if I need my ring resized?

We offer a free resizing service for your ring within the first month of purchase, including free return shipping in Europe for the first resizing. International customers pay only a small return shipping fee of €50 outside the European Union. However, if more than one resizing is needed, or if the first month has passed, a charge of €60 applies for resizing white gold rings and €40 for yellow and rose gold rings. Shipping costs for returning the item are €30 for European customers and €50 for international customers. However, we do not charge you anything to send the ring back, so our resizing service is always free. *Some rings are not suitable for resizing and need to be remade (such as Eternity rings). This may be due to their shape or design. We will let you know before carrying out any work on your ring, once it has been received and inspected. We will discuss any additional costs for remaking it with you.

13What happens when my ring is resized?

During resizing, small adjustments are made by adding or removing small amounts of metal to adapt the ring to the required size. This may cause a slight change in the thickness of the ring, which may or may not be noticeable. However, your resized ring will be carefully inspected by our

14Can I resize my tennis bracelet?

Of course, Bon Gioielli offers a tennis bracelet resizing service! However, please note that there is a non-refundable fee of €60 to resize your bracelet.
