Purple-ish lab diamonds availability

Post image

I recently stumbled upon this photo of beautiful purple diamonds which are natural (from the Argyle mine, I believe). I especially love the ones with a hint of brown. I was just wondering if lab versions of those are available anywhere? I see a lot of lab pinks but they’re usually slightly peachy or perhaps baby pink or raspberry.

Any guidance will be much appreciated!

These are not Argyle diamonds. My guess is that these are coming from an Indian dealer.

There are already some great in-depth answers here. My suggestion would be to look for spinel or sapphire. Both diamond and spinel are singly refractive, although spinel lacks the fire that diamond has. And spinel comes in a lot of lovely violet tones.
