The difference between a natural diamond and a lab-grown one runs deeper than appearance. At Layaz Fine Jewellery New Zealand, we believe that the true brilliance of a diamond lies in its origin, story, and authenticity. A natural diamond is a rare creation of the Earth — shaped by time, pressure, and nature’s artistry — while a lab-grown diamond is its human-made reflection. This guide reveals how to distinguish the sparkle of truth: from the emotional and ethical significance of natural diamonds to the craftsmanship that gives them life. Discover why ethically sourced natural diamonds remain the world’s most timeless expression of love, artistry, and sustainability. Layaz serves clients in Auckland, Wellington, Tauranga, Christchurch, Queenstown, and across New Zealand, crafting fine jewellery that celebrates integrity and brilliance in every facet.
