About 5 Carat Lab Grown Diamonds
5 Carat Lab Grown Diamonds – Exceptional Scale, Disciplined Precision
5 carat lab grown diamonds represent a high level of visual scale and require the most stringent control over proportions, symmetry, and surface finish. At this size, even minor variations in cut quality can significantly affect optical performance and overall stability.
At Variation, each 5 carat lab grown diamond is evaluated against rigorous parameters for cut accuracy, balance, and finish. Featuring IGI-certified grading, our diamonds meet internationally recognised standards and are trusted by customers across Germany and Europe.
What Are 5 Carat Lab Grown Diamonds?
5 carat lab grown diamonds are genuine diamonds created using advanced CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) or HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) technology. They are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds.
At the 5 carat level, precision cutting and symmetry alignment are critical to maintain brilliance, control light leakage, and ensure consistent long-term performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 5 carat lab grown diamond considered a high-luxury size? +
Yes. A 5 carat diamond sits firmly in the high-luxury category. It offers exceptional
presence, dramatic finger coverage, and is commonly seen in ultra-premium engagement rings
and fine high jewellery collections worldwide.
How big does a 5 carat diamond look compared to a 3 or 4 carat diamond? +
A 5 carat diamond looks significantly larger — both in weight and visual size. Depending on
the cut, it can appear 20–30% larger than a 4 carat and nearly twice the face-up area of a
3 carat diamond, making it a true showstopper on the hand.
Are 5 carat lab grown diamonds much more affordable than mined diamonds at this size? +
Extremely. Large mined diamonds rise exponentially in price, while lab grown diamonds remain
far more accessible. A 5 carat lab grown diamond can cost up to 80–90% less than a mined
diamond of equal cut, clarity, and color, without compromising brilliance or quality.
Do 5 carat lab grown diamonds sparkle the same as natural 5 carat diamonds? +
Yes. Lab grown diamonds have the same chemical and optical properties as natural diamonds.
When well-cut, a 5 carat lab grown diamond will offer identical brilliance, fire, and
scintillation to a natural diamond of the same grade.
What clarity and color grades are best for a 5 carat diamond? +
At larger sizes, imperfections and color become more visible. Buyers typically choose
D–F color and VVS1–VS1 clarity for a clean, impressive look.
However, cut quality remains the most important factor for maximizing beauty.
Are 5 carat lab grown diamonds certified by IGI or GIA? +
Yes. Most 5 carat lab grown diamonds come with IGI or GIA certification, detailing all 4Cs,
growth method (CVD or HPHT), fluorescence, polish, and symmetry.
Is a 5 carat diamond suitable for everyday wear in an engagement ring? +
A 5 carat diamond can be worn daily, but the setting must be secure.
Designs like strong prongs, double prongs, bezels, or halo settings ensure stability and
protect the diamond, especially given its larger size and height.
Which shapes look best in the 5 carat size range? +
Oval, radiant, emerald, pear, round, and cushion cuts are especially popular at 5 carats.
Elongated shapes (oval, pear, marquise) offer maximum finger coverage, while round and
emerald cuts highlight perfect symmetry and brilliance.
Are 5 carat lab grown diamonds a good choice for pendants or earrings? +
Yes. A 5 carat solitaire pendant makes a dramatic luxury statement, and 2.5 carat each
diamonds create ultra-premium stud earrings with unmatched presence and brilliance.
Do 5 carat lab grown diamonds come in many shapes, colors, and clarity options? +
Yes. The 5 carat category offers a wide range of shapes — including round, oval, emerald,
radiant, cushion, pear, marquise, and fancy cuts — along with several color, clarity,
and cut-grade options to suit your desired style and budget.
