Why Celebrities Love Lab Grown Diamonds – And You Should Too

In recent years, lab grown diamonds have all but dominated luxury, fashionable, and glitzy red carpet segments with everyone from A-list celebrities to eco-conscious fashionistas raving about them. So what is the hype about lab grown diamond jewellery? And is it time to ditch mined diamonds and switch to lab grown diamonds?

Let us uncover the story begins with the trends, the technology and the ethical brilliance of lab diamonds.

What Are Lab Created Diamonds?

At first glance, lab grown diamonds appear to be no different from mined diamonds. This is because they have the exact same substance - pure carbon that is crystallised in the isometric cubic crystal system. The only difference is how they are formed.

Mined vs. Lab Grown - How are they different?

Mined diamonds are created deep within the Earth under pressure and extreme heat over billions of years.

Lab grown diamonds, however, are created in controlled lab environments via technology using High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).

This creates a diamond that is physically, chemically, and optically the same as a mined diamond and has none of the environmental or ethical downfalls.

The Benefits of Choosing Lab Grown Diamonds

Making a choice to purchase lab grown diamond jewelry is not merely a fashionable decision. It is a choice you have made based on facts, which align with your values and lifestyle.

1. Eco-Friendly

Traditional diamond mining causes significant land displacement, water pollution, and energy consumption. Comparatively, lab grown diamonds have a much lower carbon footprint, use less water, and do not involve any of the destructive practices of mining.

2. Ethically Sourced

Lab grown diamonds are conflict-free, meaning you can wear your sparkle with the peace of mind that no one was harmed in the process of making your jewelry.

3. Cost-Effective Luxury

Lab grown diamonds are 30–40% less expensive than mined diamonds. This means a lab diamond can often allow you to have more diamonds at a similar price point — or even less.

4. Perfect for Modern Jewelry Designs

Jewellery designers have been gravitating toward lab created diamonds because of the availability and versatility. Lab created diamond jewelry has limitless design potential, whether for a sleek engagement ring, modern earrings, or stackable bracelets.
