Q1: What is the difference between natural and lab-grown diamonds?

Natural diamonds are formed deep within the earth under extreme pressure and temperature, making each one truly unique. Lab-grown diamonds are created in laboratories by replicating the same natural conditions. They share the same physical and chemical properties, but differ in origin and pricing. At ALUXE, we offer both options to suit your values and preferences.

Q2: Why do diamond prices vary so much?

Diamond prices are determined by the “4Cs”: Carat, Color, Clarity, and Cut. For example, at ALUXE, two diamonds of the same carat weight can differ in price depending on the precision of their cut or clarity grade. You can check real-time transparent pricing directly on our website.

Q3: How do I choose the right diamond for me?

We recommend starting with your budget, then selecting the diamond specifications based on its purpose. For engagement rings, a well-cut diamond with strong brilliance—like one with Triple Excellent (cut, symmetry, polish)—is ideal. For daily wear or gifting, a well-balanced diamond in color and clarity offers both elegance and value.

Q4: Are the prices shown on your website accurate?

Q5: What is the average price of a 1-carat diamond?

In Singapore, a 1-carat diamond can range anywhere from SGD 6,000 to over SGD 20,000.This range depends on the Four Cs, as well as certification (such as GIA or IGI). To make sure you’re getting the best value, consider using a diamond price-checking tool.
