Real Pink Diamonds, Real Yellow diamonds - grown by man rather than mined!

We are the web's premier source for stunning, lab-grown pink, blue and yellow diamonds. Real diamond, cut to exacting specifications, but grown in a laboratory rather than mined.

All our inventory is *real* diamond; All are accompanied by an independent gemological grading report as your assurance of quality.

If you are unfamiliar with what a genuine cultured, or lab-grown, diamond is, please visit here for more info.

To answer the most common question: All Takara's will test positive on any form of diamond tester...because Takaras are *real* diamond (same molecular composition as mined diamonds). The difference is Takaras are grown in a laboratory and due to the cost savings by not having to mine hundreds of tons of rock, Takaras can be purchased at a fraction of the price of their mined counterparts. Our lab-grown Yellow Diamonds often sell for 1/7th the price of equivalent mined yellow diamonds and our lab-grown pink diamonds are offered for as little as 1/25th the price of their mined pink diamond equivalent.

Speaking of mined counterparts, here are a few quotes related to the value of natural pink and blue diamonds as compared to whites:

“A fine pink or blue diamond of unquestionable color, meaning, you see the pink or blue, can cost 10 to 50 times more than a white diamond of the same size”
LA Times

"...pink diamonds are known to command prices exceeding $400,000 per carat..."
National Jeweler Network

"To put the true rarity of these special 'pink' diamonds into perspective, from every million carats of rough [white] diamonds produced at the mine, a mere one carat [of pinks] is suitable for sale..."
From Rio Tinto website [Rio Tinto owns the Argyle mines, the source of 90% of the worlds pink mined diamonds].

In our experience, the more you know about the rarity and beauty of colored natural diamonds, the more you can appreciate the beauty and value that our Takara lab-grown diamonds can offer. Our pink diamonds are often available for selling prices equivalent to 5% of the price you would pay to buy the equivalent pink if it was mined instead of grown in the lab.
