Lab grown diamonds are genuine diamonds. Cubic zirconia and moissanite are diamond simulants, meaning they are entirely different materials that approximate the appearance of diamonds without sharing their physical or chemical properties. A lab grown diamond has the same hardness, the same refractive index, and the same carbon crystal structure as a mined diamond. A cubic zirconia does not. At ENEA Studio, every stone in this collection is a genuine lab created diamond, never a simulant of any kind.

Brilliant Earth, Clean Origin, and Blue Nile process lab grown diamonds at scale in production facilities where no single craftsperson is accountable for the finished piece. At ENEA Studio, Laki Tasatzis, a third-generation goldsmith trained in Athens with a background in archaeology and material culture, oversees every piece that leaves the workshop. Seventy years of Greek goldsmithing discipline applied to lab created diamond jewelry produces something no production line can replicate: fine jewelry where the setting is as considered as the stone, built once and built to last.
