Choosing an engagement ring is a meaningful and emotional decision. This piece of jewelry not only symbolizes your love and the promise of a shared future, but also tells a story – your story!
In your search for the perfect ring, you may have already heard of Lab Grown Diamonds as a modern, sustainable alternative to natural diamonds and are now wondering which gemstone you should choose. But what exactly are lab grown diamonds and why should you consider them for an engagement ring?
In this article, we present you the top five reasons why an engagement ring with lab grown diamonds could be the perfect choice for you!
1. Lab Grown Diamonds are Real Diamonds
A big myth surrounding lab grown diamonds is that they are not real diamonds. We want to dispel this myth, because lab grown diamonds are real diamonds. They correspond to their natural counterparts and consist of 100% carbon. They are chemically and physically identical to natural diamonds and visually indistinguishable from one another. The only difference lies in their history: natural diamonds grow underground, lab grown diamonds are manufactured under controlled conditions using innovative technical processes. Both stones sparkle equally beautifully in your engagement ring.
2. Lab Grown Diamonds are ethical and environmentally friendly
Lab grown diamonds are created by human hands under controlled conditions. There are various high-tech processes that imitate the creation process of natural diamonds. These new production methods can reduce the long-term need for mining of natural diamonds, which often leads to the destruction of landscapes, loss of habitats and pollution of water resources.
Lab-grown diamonds are also fully traceable, ensuring you are getting an ethical diamond that has not come from a conflict zone or been trafficked to fund armed conflict.
Be careful when making your choice: not every supplier of lab grown diamond jewelry works with responsible, sustainable diamonds. The production of lab grown diamonds requires energy - only if this is generated from renewable, climate-friendly electricity can one speak of "sustainable diamonds".
We at DEAR DARLING BERLIN work with manufactured diamonds that we source from our German partner DIAVON. These manufactured diamonds are grown using renewable energy in the renowned Diamond Foundry in the USA. The Diamond Foundry has the Carbon Neutral certificate.
3. Lab Grown Diamonds are more cost effective = more *bling* for your budget!
A big advantage of lab grown diamonds is that they are cheaper than their natural counterparts - with the same quality! They shine and sparkle just like natural diamonds, but you can get a larger and higher quality stone for your budget (see "The 4Cs - a guide to diamond quality"). As a rule, most suppliers will also provide you with an official certificate from the GIA ( Gemological Institute of America) or the IGI (International Gemological Institute), which confirms the authenticity and unique characteristics of your Lab Grown diamond.
