Lab diamonds, also known as lab grown diamonds, are created in laboratory conditions using advanced technological processes that mimic the natural conditions under which diamonds are created in the earth. These diamonds are chemically, physically and optically identical to mined diamonds, and what’s more, they also have a number of other benefits.

They are cheaper: 

On average, lab diamonds cost 40-95% less than their mined counterparts.

They don’t have as much of an impact on the environment::

Creating diamonds in a lab requires significantly less energy and has a lower impact on the environment as compared to traditional mining.

Making these diamonds is faster than the process of how they naturally form: 

The process of making lab diamonds takes a few weeks while natural diamonds are created over billions of years.

They are ethical and sustainable:

Lab diamonds are not affected by the same issues that are associated with diamond mining, such as environmental degradation and human rights violations.

The beauty of earrings with lab grown diamonds lies in their simplicity. Featuring a single, beautifully cut diamond in the center, these earrings really highlight the clarity and brilliance of the gemstone. Unlike more elaborate designs, the minimal style of stud earrings ensures that the diamond itself becomes the star of the show. This makes the earrings incredibly versatile and means that they easily pair with both casual and evening wear.

Halo settings are well known for their ability to magnify the brilliance and fire of the central gemstone. The smaller diamonds surrounding the central stone reflect light into the main diamond, increasing its sparkle and making it appear more distinctive. This ingenious design maximizes the beauty of the earrings, resulting in a dazzling display that commands attention.

The distinctive pear shape (also known as a teardrop) of these earrings presents a beautiful balance between the rounded end and pointed tip, creating a stunning visual effect. This shape maximizes the brilliance of the diamond as light passes through the facets, enhancing its sparkle and fire. The elongated shape of pear earrings also gives the face a slimmer look which flatters/suits the wearer by drawing attention to the neck and face.

These earrings are an elegant and timeless piece of jewelry that would suit a variety of occasions. The circular shape of these earrings symbolizes eternity and wholeness, making them an ideal choice for those looking for a piece of jewelry with deeper meaning. Plus, they are so light and comfortable that you’ll love wearing them all day long.

Earrings with lab diamonds are for those who value both beauty and responsibility. The controlled environment of a lab guarantees high-quality stones that meet strict standards, often resulting in fewer imperfections and a better overall quality than in some mined diamonds. In addition, the ethical and environmental benefits make lab grown diamonds a conscientious choice for those who want to enjoy luxury without compromise.

Many jewelry experts praise lab diamond earrings for their innovation and beauty:

Lab diamonds have revolutionized the jewelry industry,” says Jane Smith, a well-known gemologist. “They come with all the beauty and durability of mined diamonds, but with other benefits that resonate with today’s consumers.

They are the same material, the same beauty, the same durability, the same quality factors as natural diamonds…They come in all the different shapes. Unusual shapes can be done with lab-grown diamonds that you would never think of doing with natural diamonds, because the material is so much less expensive says Paul Cassarino, president of The Gem Lab.

2. Color – lab grown diamonds are graded on a color scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). For the best look overall, choose a color grade between D and F.
3. Clarity – indicates the presence of inclusions or defects. If you are looking for quality diamonds, start with a clarity grade of VS1 (Very Slightly Included) or higher.
4. Carat weight – the size of the diamond is measured in carats. Determine the carat weight based on your budget and preferences.

The most common metals to set lab diamonds into are white, yellow, and rose gold as well as platinum.

When choosing earrings, take into account the personal and lifestyle preferences of the person who will wear them. For everyday wear, stud earrings or small hoops are practical and comfortable. For special occasions, larger pear or halo earrings might captivate more.
