Diamond Debate: The Case For Lab Grown Diamonds

Discussions about lab-grown diamonds in the UK jewelry industry have been increasing, with more and more suppliers playing with the cultivated stones, and retailers questioning whether there is a demand for them. If America is anything to go by, there certainly is consumer demand for lab grown stones. After all, once someone becomes comfortable with the idea of lab grown diamonds, the benefits are hard to ignore. Namely, cultured stones are 100% traceable – placing a big tick in the ethical box – and they are also approximately 30% cheaper to buy than mined diamonds – sealing the deal on the affordability front too.
