Do lab diamonds lose their sparkle?

THE ANSWER

No. Lab diamonds have the same durability as mined diamonds. They don't cloud, fade, or degrade over time. The sparkle is permanent. What does happen is dirt buildup. Lotion, soap, oils from your skin, and everyday grime coat the surface. This blocks light. The diamond looks dull. But that's true of any diamond, mined or lab-grown. A quick clean with warm water and mild soap restores full brilliance. The stone itself remains unchanged for centuries. Diamonds are forever. Lab-grown ones included.
