Lab Grown Diamonds in Canada.
Custom Jewelry by Lux Jewels
Why Choose Lab Grown Diamonds in Canada
Most diamond buyers don’t realize they’re paying for 4 to 6 layers of middlemen before a stone even reaches a retail display case. Every layer adds 15 to 30 percent markup. I’m Suman Smith, founder of Lux Jewels. I started this company in 2007 because I saw too many people overpaying for diamonds they didn’t fully understand. In 2015, I became one of the first jewelers in Canada to offer lab grown diamonds as a primary option, years before most jewelers would even stock them.
Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds, created using CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) or HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) technology. They’re chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. Same carbon crystal structure. Same 10 on the Mohs hardness scale. Same brilliance, fire, and scintillation. The Federal Trade Commission officially recognized them as real diamonds in 2018. I only work with Type IIa lab grown diamonds, the purest classification available. These stones are over 99.95 percent pure carbon and make up less than 2 percent of all diamonds worldwide.
Lab grown diamonds cost 30 to 50 percent less than mined diamonds of identical quality, not because they’re inferior, but because the supply chain is shorter. No mining permits, no rough auctions, no regional distributors. I source directly from certified growers. Every stone comes with an IGI grading report confirming cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. If a diamond doesn’t pass our own internal quality check, it goes back. I don’t promise the lowest prices. I promise integrity: ideal light reflection, no undertones, and no hidden markups.

What Our Clients Say
I recently lost my brother. Suman created for me and my family necklace urns. She created exactly what I envisioned and I couldn’t be happier with the necklaces. She was very sensitive about the entire process including handling my brothers ashes. Honestly, I don’t think there was anyone else I could trust to do something so personal and sensitive. I’m grateful my brother will be with me always now in a beautiful urn that will last me my lifetime. Thank you Suman. 🙏🏾
WOW… after I had made a few mistakes going with a big name jewelry store, I chose to walk away from that experience and was completely blessed by the divine timing of meeting Suman and Lux Jewels. With less than a month before my wedding, Suman was able to design and order our wedding bands and brand new engagement ring for my fiancée exactly how we envisioned! This business should be about souls, not customers, and Suman absolutely impressed us with her empathy and huge heart for our situation and our timeline. She made us feel like family. We couldn’t be happier with our overall experience. Thank you Suman & Lux Jewels!
Suman designed my engagement ring and wedding band. I could not be more happy with her work!! She is easy to work with, professional, intuitive of desired styles and creates amazing, high quality jewelry. I would recommend working with Suman over and over. You won’t be disappointed.
Thank you Suman/Lux Jewels for saving the day. My husband worked with Suman several years ago to custom make my stunning engagement and wedding ring. Unfortunately a few months ago our house was broken into and my beautiful ring was stolen. Luckily we had the ring insured and Suman walked us through the steps of the insurance claim, and worked with me to come up with an updated custom designed ring. It’s so stunning I can’t take my eye off of it. Thank you for turning our lemons into lemonade Suman!
How Custom Jewelry Works at Lux Jewels
Illuminate & Discover (01)
We start with a free video consultation. You tell me about your style, your lifestyle, and your budget. Share images of what you love before the call. I’ll share examples during. No pressure, no commitment. This is about understanding what you want and whether we’re the right fit for each other.
Inspire & Design (02)
Once I understand your vision, I source diamonds directly from certified growers. No middlemen. I’ll send you a video of each stone with its IGI certificate and a detailed estimate. Our design team then creates a 3D CAD rendering of your piece. One revision is included. Most clients don’t need changes, but we adjust until it’s right.
Pride & Craftsmanship (03)
Our goldsmiths bring your design to life in 99.5 percent repurposed gold or platinum. Every setting, every stone placement, every finish is done by hand. I’ll send you progress updates as needed. When the piece is finished, it goes through our quality control process before it leaves our hands.
Embrace & Cherish (04)
Your finished piece is fully insured, carefully packaged, and delivered to your door. Open the box and see something that’s yours alone. A piece that tells your story, built from scratch, with nothing generic about it.
