How the Diamond Upgrade Program Works

If you bring in a 1-carat or higher natural diamond, we can give you a 50% higher carat lab-grown diamond at no cost. The lab-grown diamond will offer the same quality, cut and clarity as your natural diamond. At Diamonds Above, we request a minimum color and clarity for all diamonds you want to upgrade. We accept all natural diamonds with a minimum H color and SI1 clarity.

You can also trade your natural diamond to get a larger carat lab-grown diamond. For trade-ins, you would pay the difference between the cost of the diamond and the trade-in. Trading your natural diamond helps you get a significant upgrade for a fraction of the price of upgrading to another natural diamond ring.

All of our lab-grown diamonds are IGI or GIA certified, so you can be confident the diamond you receive is of the highest standards. Our diamond upgrade program is an ideal option, whether you desire an engagement ring upgrade or other diamond jewelry upgrade.

Why Trade for Lab Grown Diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds are a sustainable and cost-effective way to enjoy beautiful diamond jewelry. When you upgrade your natural diamond pieces to lab-grown diamonds, you can often get higher carats and comparable quality for a more affordable price. Lab-grown diamonds are:

  • Sustainably made: Growing diamonds in a lab is more sustainable than mining them. The lab process produces a smaller carbon footprint than mining because of its minimal water, energy and equipment use requirements.
  • Affordable: Lab-grown diamonds offer unmatched economical prices for the same beautiful quality as natural diamonds.
  • Indistinguishable: from natural diamonds: Both natural and lab-grown diamonds use the same geological processes for growth, with the latter taking less time to make. Aside from minuscule differences, you can't differentiate between a lab-grown and a natural diamond.
