Cultured Diamonds
At St Francis, we are proud to offer cultured diamonds—a modern, ethical, and sustainable alternative to traditional mined diamonds. These remarkable gems are every bit as beautiful and genuine as mined diamonds, with the same brilliance, clarity, and durability.
What Are Cultured Diamonds?
Cultured diamonds, also known as lab-grown diamonds, are real diamonds created in a laboratory setting. They are grown using advanced technology that mimics the natural process of diamond formation beneath the Earth's surface.
The result? A diamond that is chemically, physically, and optically
identical to a mined diamonds.
Why Choose Cultured Diamonds?

Our cultured diamonds are guaranteed to be free from the ethical concerns often associated with traditional mining. They are crafted with care, without harming
communities or the environment.
Sustainable Luxury
Cultured diamonds require significantly fewer resources to produce, reducing the environmental impact. Choosing these diamonds means making a positive choice for the planet.
Exceptional Quality
Each of our cultured diamonds is meticulously graded and certified, ensuring the highest quality in brilliance and clarity.
Affordable Brilliance
Because they bypass the mining process, cultured diamonds are often more affordable than their mined counterparts, allowing you to invest in a larger or higher-quality gem
for a fraction of the price.
