Are you in the market for your dream Engagement Ring?

For many years, we have admired and loved diamonds, to spoil that someone special in your life or to add that something sparkly in our jewellery collection.

After all, diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

Traditionally we have all known about mined diamonds, especially when we purchase an engagement ring. Diamonds have been mined from the earth, from all different parts of the world, like Belgium, South Africa and Israel. As technology and the world has become more revolutionised, the Jewellery Industry has been able to take advantage of the expansion and benefits of this brand new evolution.

In the last few years we have begun to engage in the new developments of lab-grown diamonds. This type of diamond is manufactured in a highly controlled lab environment, using advanced technological processes, rather than ethically mined from the earth.

Lab-grown diamonds has the same physical appearance of mined diamonds and is ethically created as are mined diamonds. It has the same sparkle, but are much more sustainable, with an almost-zero carbon footprint.

Whether purchasing ethically mined or lab-grown diamonds, the significance is not characterised by the shape or size, nor is it characterised by the price or where the diamond is sourced. The true significance of the diamond you choose is the love and story it represents between you and the special person in your life.

WHY CHOOSE LAB GROWN DIAMONDS OVER ETHICALLY MINED DIAMONDS?

While ethically mined diamonds have been available for hundreds of years, lab-grown diamonds are growing in popularity for a number of reasons. These include:

• Same composition of a Mined Diamond
• Allows the ability to buy a larger diamond for lower price.
• Maintains the Ethical values and environmental sustainability.
