Our Story

In 1995 we began selling lab grown diamonds in the United States and Canada. Then we were known as Ultimate Created Diamond Company (UCD) and we were one of the first to enter this new and exciting world of luxury lab grown diamonds. Our partnerships with brilliant physicists and engineers evolved into Lucent Diamonds in 2000. Today we are recognized as an industry pioneer and renowned supplier of the finest fancy color and colorless lab grown diamonds.
From the start the gem diamond market showed a great amount of interest in our lab grown diamonds. But with physical and optical properties identical to natural mined diamonds at a lower price, our diamonds were both a scientific curiosity and a threat to the diamond trade. Intense yellow and orange color diamonds in polished sizes under a carat constituted our first few years of production. During the past twenty years we have achieved fancy colors across the entire diamond color spectrum including spectacular greens, pinks, purples, reds, and blues. Read more details below in our brief history of Lucent Diamonds.
Colorless diamonds were always possible to grow but difficult and initially not commercially viable. Both technologies for diamond growth (HPHT & CVD) reached levels of maturity around 2014 that finally allowed us to produce the highly desired pure type IIa colorless lab grown diamonds.
Lucent Diamonds has navigated our journey "On the Cutting Edge" by providing our trade partners with innovative diamonds and ethically sourced jewelry at affordable prices. Our diamonds are less expensive to grow above-ground than to extract from below-ground. They are environmentally friendly especially when grown using solar and geothermal energy sources. Lucent Lab Grown Diamonds are simply fine cut and polished diamonds with full grading reports from GIA and other major diamond grading labs.
