The Beauty of Modern Diamonds
At RAG GEMS NY, we believe exceptional diamonds should be accessible without compromising on beauty, quality, or craftsmanship.
Our lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, with the same chemical composition, crystal structure, and physical properties as diamonds formed naturally beneath the earth. The difference is their origin: lab-grown diamonds are created using advanced technology in controlled laboratory environments.
What Is a Lab-Grown Diamond?
Lab-grown diamonds are diamonds created through advanced technological processes that replicate the conditions under which diamonds naturally form.
Using methods such as Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT), manufacturers grow diamond crystals in controlled environments. Once grown, the rough diamonds are cut, polished, graded, and finished just like mined diamonds.
A lab-grown diamond is not a diamond simulant such as cubic zirconia or moissanite. It is diamond.
Beauty, Quality & Value
The beauty of a diamond comes from its individual characteristics—not simply where it originated.
At RAG GEMS NY, we carefully select diamonds based on factors including cut, proportions, color, clarity, brilliance, and overall appearance. We look beyond a single grade and evaluate the stone as a whole to help ensure that each diamond offers exceptional visual appeal.
Lab-grown diamonds also allow customers to explore larger sizes, different shapes, and higher color and clarity grades while maintaining a strong focus on value.

and other specialty shapes
Whether you are looking for a classic round brilliant, an elongated oval, a sophisticated emerald cut, or a distinctive fancy shape, our selection is designed to give you options for every style and occasion.
Diamond Grading
When available, our diamonds are accompanied by grading reports from recognized independent gemological laboratories, including IGI.
A grading report provides detailed information about the diamond, including its carat weight, color, clarity, measurements, proportions, polish, symmetry, and other identifying characteristics.
We believe customers should have the information they need to make a confident and informed decision.
What We Look For
Our approach to diamond selection goes beyond simply choosing a color and clarity grade.
We carefully consider:
Cut and proportions
Light performance
Shape and symmetry
Color
Clarity
Carat weight
Measurements and ratio
Polish and symmetry
Overall visual appearance
Two diamonds with the same carat weight, color, and clarity can look very different. Our experience allows us to evaluate the finer details that contribute to a diamond's beauty.
Your Diamond, Your Choice
Every customer has different priorities.
Some prefer maximum size. Others prioritize exceptional clarity, higher color, distinctive proportions, or the strongest overall visual appearance.
