What is a Lab Grown Diamond?
We often are asked “what is a lab grown diamond?”, in addition to inquiries about our options in true sustainable diamonds.
When it comes to sourcing diamonds for our wedding & engagement and fine jewelry collections, we choose to go above standards set by the jewelry industry. Our long standing suppliers hold certification that assures the mines they work with adhere to internationally recognized standards for ethical, conflict-free diamond mining practices.
We are committed to providing every sustainable option available, allowing you to choose the ring and stone that speaks to you. In addition to our ethically mined natural diamonds, our engagement ring line is created with 95% recycled diamonds. Recycled, or reclaimed, diamonds are extracted from fine jewelry with a previous life, and placed back into the diamond supply chain. They carry no new environmental or labor impact, and are GIA certified to meet the same cut, clarity, and color grading standards set for our newly mined diamonds.
Our lab grown diamonds are cultivated in controlled lab environments that mimic the process found in nature. The end result is a diamond that is both visually and molecularly the same as a natural diamond, with the same grading system that considers cut, color, clarity, and carat. We partner with labs certified in sustainable cultivation, using the lowest energy and emission footprint.
