Looking for a dazzling diamond with modern brilliance and timeless value? More couples than ever are discovering lab grown diamonds — and asking the same smart question: Where’s the best place to buy one?
At South Shore Diamond Exchange, we know that choosing your diamond is more than a purchase — it’s the start of your story. Let’s break down how to find the best place to buy lab grown diamonds, what to look for, and why working with trusted local experts makes all the difference.
What Makes A Good Place To Buy Lab Grown Diamonds?
Not every diamond store is the same. Here’s what sets the best apart:
Certified Lab Grown Diamonds
Always choose a jeweler that sells stones with trusted, third-party certification (like GIA or IGI). Certification proves the diamond’s quality, grading, and authenticity — giving you confidence in what you’re investing in.
Knowledgeable Staff
A well-trained team should walk you through every detail, from diamond shapes to grading reports, so you understand what you’re choosing.
Custom Design Options
A good jeweler doesn’t just sell you a diamond — they help you set it in a piece that’s uniquely yours.
Local Reputation
Independent jewelers often bring generations of experience and trusted service — and you know exactly who you’re working with.
Why Local Expertise Matters
A lab grown diamond may look the same online — but in person, you’ll notice differences in sparkle, cut, and presence. A trusted local jeweler:
- Shows you multiple stones side by side.
- Helps you compare cuts, clarity, and carat.
- Guides you through settings and metals that make your diamond shine.
When you shop local, you’re not alone — you have a guide.

What to Know When Buying Lab Grown Diamonds
Are Lab Grown Diamonds Cheaper Than Natural?
Yes — lab grown diamonds often cost 20–40% less than mined diamonds of similar size and quality. That means more of your budget can go toward a bigger stone or custom design — just one more reason to compare your options side by side with a trusted jeweler.
Where To Buy Engagement Rings With Lab Grown Diamonds?
Many couples buy lab grown engagement rings online or from big chains — but a local jeweler like South Shore Diamond Exchange gives you something extra: the chance to see the diamond in person, compare settings, and craft a ring that truly fits your story.
How To Spot Fake Lab Grown Diamonds?
Genuine lab grown diamonds are real diamonds — but some sellers may pass off look-alikes like CZ or moissanite. Always buy certified stones from a reputable source and ask to see the grading report. Local experts help you compare and choose confidently.
Do I Need To Insure A Lab Grown Diamond?
Absolutely. Just like any fine diamond, your lab grown ring deserves protection. Ask your jeweler for an appraisal and insure your ring against loss or damage — it’s a smart way to protect what you love, wherever life takes you.
Tips For Getting The Best Value
- Compare Certification: Always ask to see the grading report.
- Ask About Trade-In: Some jewelers offer upgrade programs down the road.
- Consider Warranty & Care: Look for resizing, inspections, and cleaning.
