What does a 1-carat lab-grown diamond cost in Canada?
A fair price range in 2026, and the three specs that move the price most.
In 2026, a loose 1-carat lab-grown diamond in Canada usually costs about $700 to $2,100 CAD. Shape, colour, clarity and cut quality explain the gap. Before you compare prices, compare the full cost: many US sites show prices before tax, duties and brokerage, so the total grows at the door. Three specs matter most. First, cut: an excellent cut is worth paying for. Second, colour: G or H looks white in most settings. Third, clarity: VS2 is often eye-clean. Jouwell shows every price openly in CAD, with insured shipping and duties included. Sales tax is calculated at checkout.
