Types of Diamonds: Natural and Lab
Two Origins. One Brilliant Purpose.
At ANANTA, we believe that every diamond, whether formed deep within the Earth or carefully grown in a laboratory, holds the power to capture emotion, beauty, and meaning. What matters most is the connection it creates and the story it tells.
We proudly offer both natural diamonds and lab diamonds, and we are here to guide you in understanding each type so that you can choose the one that best reflects your values, lifestyle, and love story.
Note: ANANTA offers natural diamonds exclusively for engagement rings to honor their rarity and timeless value.
For fine jewelry collections, we also present lab diamonds that are carefully selected for beauty, sustainability, and ethical sourcing.
What Is a Natural Diamond?
A Wonder of the Earth
Natural diamonds are created deep beneath the Earth’s surface through immense heat and pressure over billions of years. Each one is a rare geological marvel, formed by nature, shaped by time, and brought to light through responsible and ethical sourcing.
Every natural diamond carries a story that began long before us. With their natural origins and limited supply, they are celebrated for their rarity, legacy, and enduring worth.
What Is a Lab Diamond?
Crafted by Science. Indistinguishable by Beauty.
Lab diamonds are created in advanced laboratories using technology that replicates the Earth’s natural diamond-forming conditions. Through methods such as High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), these diamonds develop the same crystal structure and brilliance as natural ones.
They are one hundred percent real diamonds, chemically, physically, and visually identical. The only difference is origin. Lab diamonds are a conscious choice for modern romantics who value innovation, transparency, and environmental responsibility.

How to Choose Between Natural and Lab Diamonds
There is no right or wrong choice, only the one that feels right for you.
Choose a natural diamond if you value rarity, tradition, and the timeless allure of nature’s creation.
Choose a lab diamond if you appreciate innovation, sustainability, and the ability to achieve greater size or quality at a more accessible price.
Both are equally beautiful, equally real, and equally capable of representing love in its purest form.
ANANTA’S Commitment to Both
At ANANTA, we hold both types of diamonds to the same uncompromising standards of excellence in brilliance, clarity, and craftsmanship.
Whether natural or lab-grown, every diamond we offer is:
- Certified by leading gemological institutes including GIA, HRD, and IGI
- Selected for beauty, symmetry, and emotional resonance
- Matched perfectly with its setting and your story

A diamond is more than a choice of origin. It is a reflection of who you are and what you wish to celebrate.
At ANANTA, we are here to help you find the one that feels just right, because no matter where it begins, every diamond we offer ends with meaning.
