Lab grown diamonds are artificially created in labs/machines, but their organic makeup is the exact same as ones that come from the ground. Visually there is no difference.
Why do people need to disclose if one is lab made if they are identical in every way? And why do people think less of lab-grown diamonds? Is there a difference?

Well for one thing you should be able to determine the origin of any diamond you buy. The Kimberley Process was created to keep “conflict” diamonds (used to finance terrorism or warlords) out of the marketplace. This necessitates a verifiable chain of custody going back to where it originally came from. Lab-created diamonds are inherently not conflict diamonds. Mining in general is also less than great for the environment so many people specifically seek out lab versions as the most ethical option.
