# Is a sustainably created diamond a real diamond?

Yes! Lab-grown diamonds have ushered in a new era of sustainability, offering environmentally friendly choices in an industry historically dominated by mined diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds share the same physical, atomical and chemical properties of their mined counterparts and are recognized as real by [consumer protection agencies.](https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=e74d22268b1ca1ee8974514f8a940f87&mc=true&node=pt16.1.23&rgn=div5#se16.1.23_112)
