Lab-Grown Diamonds: Ethical and Stunning
Posted on March 19, 2025

Lab-grown diamonds are quickly changing the jewelry industry. Created in a lab, these diamonds are chemically identical to natural diamonds but avoid the ethical concerns and environmental impact tied to mining. They’re also more affordable, making luxury jewelry accessible to more people.
Diamonds have been prized for centuries, with their modern popularity growing in the late 1800s when De Beers controlled diamond production. The 20th century brought diamonds to the forefront of engagement culture, thanks to campaigns like “A Diamond is Forever.”
But diamond mining has its issues. The Kimberley Process was created to prevent the trade of conflict diamonds, but lab-grown diamonds offer an even better solution. First created in the 1950s, today’s lab-grown diamonds are made using HPHT and CVD methods, which produce diamonds identical to mined ones. According to the American Gem Society, lab-grown diamonds are graded the same as natural diamonds and are indistinguishable in terms of cut, clarity, color, and carat weight.
Not only are lab-grown diamonds more affordable, but they are also part of the growing shift in the market.
