The Short Answer: Yes, 100% Real
Let’s get this out of the way: lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, full stop.
They are not imitations, not cubic zirconia, and not moissanite. They are atom-for-atom identical to mined diamonds, made of pure carbon, crystallized in the isometric system, and graded by the same prestigious gemological labs like IGI (International Gemological Institute) and GIA (Gemological Institute of America).
If you’re looking for beauty, brilliance, and authenticity, without the mining, you’ve come to the right place.
What Makes a Diamond "Real"?
The term “real diamond” refers to its composition, not its origin.
Whether a diamond forms deep beneath the Earth’s crust or inside a controlled lab environment, its atomic structure is what defines it:
- Material: Pure carbon, crystallized
- Hardness: 10 on the Mohs scale (hardest known mineral)
- Optical Properties: Identical fire, brilliance, and scintillation
- Certifications: IGI, GIA, GCAL — same as mined diamonds
No shortcuts. No substitutes. Just science done right.
The Only Differences: Origin & Price
Everything else? Identical, unless you count peace of mind as a difference, and we do.
Common Misconceptions (Debunked)
"They’re fake."
False. Moissanite and CZ are simulants. Lab diamonds are real diamonds.
"You can tell the difference."
Wrong. Even expert gemologists can’t distinguish lab-grown from mined with the naked eye.
"They aren’t valuable."
Lab diamonds hold intrinsic, emotional, and ethical value. The only thing they lack is inflated markup.
How Can You Be Sure It’s Real?
When you buy from Yoona, every center stone is:

Final Thought: The Smart, Real Choice
Lab-grown diamonds are not a compromise. They are the smarter evolution of real diamonds: ethical, sustainable, and exquisitely crafted.
So if you’re wondering, “Are lab-grown diamonds real?” The answer is YES.
And at Yoona, they’re also rare, radiant, and remarkably you.
