Frequently Asked Questions

A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond created in a laboratory using advanced technology that replicates the natural conditions of heat and pressure under which diamonds form beneath the Earth's mantle. They possess the exact same physical, chemical and optical properties as mined diamonds and are composed of 100% pure carbon.

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are authentic diamonds. They have the same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), sparkle, fire and brilliance as natural diamonds.

Lab-grown diamonds are pure carbon, just like mined diamonds. In contrast:

• Cubic Zirconia (CZ): A synthetic crystalline material (zirconium dioxide) that is less durable and lacks the optical depth and hardness of a diamond.
• Moissanite: A distinct gemstone composed of silicon carbide with different refractive properties and a different facet sparkle pattern.

There are two primary methods used to create lab-grown diamonds:

• HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature): Replicates the Earth's natural environment by applying extreme pressure and temperature to a carbon source.
• CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition): A diamond "seed" is placed in a vacuum chamber filled with carbon-rich gases, which break down and deposit pure carbon layer by layer.

No, not with visual inspection or standard loupes. Because their physical, optical and chemical compositions are identical, specialized spectroscopic testing equipment is required to detect the growth patterns unique to lab creation.

Yes. Because they are chemically pure crystallized carbon, lab-grown diamonds will test as real diamonds on standard thermal diamond testers.

• Exceptional Value: Lab diamonds typically cost 60% to 80% less than mined diamonds of identical cut, color, clarity and carat weight.
• Ethical & Conflict-Free: Grown in controlled environments with clear supply chains, avoiding conflict-zone sourcing.
• Sustainable: Significantly reduces the heavy land disruption and environmental impact associated with large-scale geological mining.

Lab diamonds hold long-term value in their physical beauty, durability and wearability. However, like mined diamonds, their secondary resale market typically reflects a depreciation from retail purchase prices.

Yes. Our lab-grown diamonds come with independent grading certificates from internationally recognized gemological laboratories such as IGI (International Gemological Institute) or GIA (Gemological Institute of America). Each diamond is also laser-inscribed on the girdle with a unique identification number corresponding to its grading report.

All our fine jewelry is crafted using solid, authentic precious metals — including 9K, 10K, 14K and 18K solid gold (White, Yellow and Rose) and 950 Platinum. We do not use base metal plating for our fine diamond lines.

Yes. In addition to lab-grown diamonds, we offer high-grade moissanite, natural / lab-created colored gemstones, and custom birthstone options upon request.

Yes! We specialize in bespoke jewelry creation. Whether you want to customize an existing design, modify a setting, or build a one-of-a-kind piece from scratch:

1. Share your ideas, reference images or specifications with our design team.
2. We provide a 3D CAD rendering for your review and approval.
3. Once approved, our master craftsmen cast, hand-set and finish your piece.

Note: Custom-designed orders are made specifically for you and are final sale, except in the rare event of a manufacturing defect.

Yes, we offer complimentary or nominal text engraving on most rings and select pendants. You can specify your desired text, dates or symbols during checkout or in your custom design request.

We recommend using a plastic ring sizer belt or visiting a local jeweler for an exact measurement. You can also use our Size Guide. If you need assistance determining your size, contact our support team and we will guide you through accurate sizing methods.

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and secure local payment gateways (Net Banking, UPI, and authorized installment plans where available).

• Ready-to-Ship Items: Dispatched within 24 to 72 business hours.
• Made-to-Order & Custom Items: Crafted from scratch within 2 to 3 weeks prior to insured express shipping.
• You will receive a tracking link via email as soon as your package ships.

We offer a 30-day return and exchange window on all standard catalog items in their original, unworn condition with tags and certification intact. Custom-made or personalized pieces are non-refundable unless verified defective upon delivery.

Yes. We offer a limited lifetime warranty covering manufacturing and craftsmanship defects.

• Routine Cleaning: Soak the piece in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes. Gently scrub behind the stones using a soft-bristle toothbrush, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Safe Storage: Store your jewelry in individual soft pouches or lined compartments to prevent stones from scratching one another.
• Daily Wear: Remove fine jewelry before heavy lifting, gardening, swimming in chlorinated pools, or handling harsh chemicals.

Yes. We partner with retail jewelers, designers and corporate clients globally. Please contact our corporate sales team at inquiry@anamay.one with your business details to access catalog pricing and volume tiers.
