Tessera Creations sparkles naturally

In recent years, there’s been much debate and confusion about real (natural) diamonds versus lab-grown ones, with lab grown ones falling from grace of late. Although they may look similar, they most certainly are not.

At Tessera Creations, we believe in natural diamonds; that their sense of prestige, history, and authenticity is irreplaceable. The uniqueness of every natural diamond, its story, rarity potential to connect past and present and investment potential.

Fiscally

Long-Term Value and Investment in real diamonds has a well-established market and historical significance, making them a better long-term investment. Natural diamonds tend to retain or even appreciate in value over time, depending on their quality and market conditions. They are also recognized as a form of wealth that can be passed down through generations. In contrast, lab-grown diamonds typically depreciate in value, and more so recently, with the market being flooded and over saturated by this latest fad. These market realities are slowly busting the myth and exaggerated fan fare around lab grown diamonds.

Romantically

The story of a diamond’s origin—emerging from the Earth’s depths—is part of its charm and significance, making it a symbol of natural beauty and time.

Natural Origin and Rarity

Real diamonds are formed naturally over billions of years deep within the Earth under extreme pressure and heat. This process results in a gemstone that is truly unique. The rarity of natural diamonds adds to their allure and value whether fiscal or sentimental.

Authenticity and Certification

While lab-grown diamonds can be nearly identical to natural diamonds in appearance, real diamonds are unique, with each having distinct characteristics that are documented through professional certification. Organizations like the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) provide detailed certifications that describe the specific qualities of a natural diamond, which can further validate its authenticity and value. This certification is a reassurance for buyers seeking to invest in something genuine and rare.

Environmental and Ethical Considerations

Though lab-grown diamonds are often marketed as an eco-friendly alternative, it’s important to note that the natural diamond industry has made significant strides in ethical sourcing and environmental responsibility. Tessera Creations supports sustainable practices by supporting local communities and reducing environmental impact by building small and well. We avoid mass production and fast fashion. Built with the highest of craftsmanship standards, our pieces are designed with a timeless beauty and made with durability in mind.

Unparalleled and Unique Beauty and Character

While lab-grown diamonds can be flawless, real diamonds often possess unique inclusions and color variations that give them character. These natural imperfections are part of what makes each real diamond one-of-a-kind. Some buyers appreciate the fact that a real diamond, with its natural quirks, tells a story and showcases the beauty of imperfection in nature.
