The Best Lab-Grown Diamond Necklaces for Your Style

Jessica Pereira | July 10, 2026

Selecting lab-grown diamond vs. “natural” diamond necklaces is a wonderful way to celebrate your values and personal style. By selecting necklaces featuring diamonds created by VRAI over mined diamonds, you can rest assured that your fine jewelry was made without a human or environmental toll.

 

Read on to discover the lab-grown diamond necklaces meant just for you.

What Are Lab-Grown Diamond Necklaces Made From?

Every lab diamond necklace at VRAI is made of man-made, above-ground diamonds. Lab-created diamonds are anatomically identical to mined diamonds in every way except for point of origin.

 

Necklaces featuring VRAI created diamonds go a step further than other lab-grown diamond jewelry. They feature diamonds created in a zero-emission foundry in the American Pacific Northwest. These diamonds are polished by international craftspeople to exacting standards, then expertly set in fine precious metals, including 14k recycled solid yellow, white, or rose gold, never plated or vermeil settings.

From tennis necklaces to pendants to medallions, there are necklaces highlighting VRAI created diamonds for everyone. Read on to discover styles perfect for everyday layering or for adding allure to any special occasion.

Whether you're selecting from loose diamonds or browsing preset designs, each solitaire necklace can be tailored to your style.

Are Lab-Grown And Man-Made Diamond Necklaces The Same?

Yes, they are! Man-made, lab-created, or above-ground diamonds are different terms to describe a lab-grown diamond. Lab-grown diamonds offer the same brilliance as mined stones, but not all lab-grown diamonds are the same. VRAI created lab-grown diamonds are made by converting greenhouse gas in our zero-emission foundry. This standard is unmatched in the diamond industry and makes our “man-made” diamond necklaces stand apart.
