Why Lab-Grown Diamonds are the Perfect Choice for Body Jewelry Lovers
Have you heard about lab-grown diamonds? They’ve been getting a lot of attention in recent years. You might be wondering if they’re really worth buying or if natural diamonds are still the better choice.
Ethical and budget Smart – Stunning Gems Perfect for Nostril, Carttiladge and eardrum Sparkle at Master Pierce
At Master Pierce, we offer a carefully curated collection of 14k lab-grown diamond jewelry. Each stone is hand-set to capture the same brilliance and fire as a natural diamond—without the environmental impact.
In this post, we’ll take a closer look at how lab-grown diamonds are made, what makes them special, and why they’ve become a favorite among people who value both beauty and responsibility.
Are Lab-Grown Diamonds “Fake” Diamonds?
You might be surprised to learn that lab-grown doesn’t mean fake.
A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond in every sense—it just forms in a lab instead of deep underground. That makes it a great alternative to synthetic stones like cubic zirconia.
These diamonds share the same chemical makeup, sparkle, and strength as mined ones. They’re created in controlled labs that mimic the natural conditions where diamonds develop. The only real difference is where they come from.
Because they’re made of the same material, lab-grown diamonds are just as durable as natural ones. Both score a perfect 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, so you can wear them every day with confidence—no need to worry about scratches or dullness over time.
Lab-grown diamonds are more than just an alternative — they’re the future of fine jewelry, blending cutting-edge science with timeless artistry.
How are Lab-grown Diamonds Made?
The creation of a lab-grown diamond mimics the natural formation of diamonds but without the geological timescale, following one of two methods:
• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): This method involves placing a diamond seed in a plasma reactor chamber where gases rich in carbon form layers on the seed, gradually building up a rough diamond.
• High-Pressure High Temperature (HPHT): In this method, scientists expose a diamond seed to extreme pressure and heat, replicating the natural conditions under which diamonds form.
Both processes result in diamonds that are structurally and visually identical to those mined from beneath the Earth’s surface.

❄️ Do Numbing Creams Work?
Some clients choose numbing creams to take the edge off. They can help reduce discomfort but won’t remove pain completely, and the effect may wear off mid-session. At Master Pierce, we can guide you on safe options—but it’s always best to manage expectations.
Recommended Aftercare Products
✨ Naked Foaming Soap Aftercare – Gentle daily cleanser with tea tree, aloe, and lavender to keep skin fresh and clean.
💧 After Inked Tattoo Moisturizer – Hydrates, protects, and supports proper healing.
Use these products daily to keep your tattoo clean, moisturized, and vibrant while it heals.
❤️🩹 Healing & Aftercare
The tattoo journey doesn’t end when the machine stops. Healing comes with its own sensations—tenderness, itching, and sensitivity. Proper aftercare reduces discomfort and ensures your tattoo heals beautifully.
What to Expect:
✔ Initially: Redness and swelling for up to a week.
✔ During healing: Ink may rise to the surface, and light scabbing is normal.
✔ Fully healed: Colors soften and settle after about a month.
❤️🩹 Healing & Aftercare
✅ Keep your tattoo clean and lightly moisturized
✅ Avoid picking, scratching, or scrubbing
✅ Wear loose clothing that won’t rub
✅ Avoid submerging in water (pools, tubs, ocean) for 3 weeks
✅ Stay out of direct sun and tanning until healed
✅ Always apply sunscreen to healed tattoos to prevent fading
