Ethical Issues with Mined
Diamonds
- Mined diamonds often originate from conflict regions with unethical supply chains.
- Workers in these regions face poor working conditions, low wages, and human rights abuses.
Lab Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds deliver the timeless brilliance of real diamonds with ethical craftsmanship and a more sustainable future.
What Are Lab Grown Diamonds?
Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically and optically identical to the mined diamonds. The best part, they are made inside a lab using technology that replicates conditions of high temperature and pressure inside the earth, in a lab and gives birth to a lab diamond.
The only difference between a lab grown diamond and a mined one is the ORIGIN
Nobody, not even the well acclaimed jeweler in your neighborhood can tell the difference between the two. Only highly advanced equipment and Gemological labs can identify if it is a lab diamond or a mined one.
Why Lab Grown
Diamonds?
The fine diamond jewelry as an industry has a lot of murkiness with little light thrown on its supply chain. Every mined diamond exchanges hands multiple times mostly unethically, little of which is known to us. Added issues with mined diamonds are:

Environmental Consequences of
Diamond Mining
- Extracting a single 1-carat diamond involves processing 88,000 to 176,000 pounds of earth.
- This process leads to soil erosion, earth displacement, deforestation, and ecosystem damage.
Lab grown diamonds are a step in the positive direction such that they provide complete transparency in the supply chain that is less harmful to the environment and its surrounding communities. Also they consume less energy in production as compared to their mined counterparts.
Cost Benefits
To top it all, they retail at 60-90% discounted price as compared to mined diamonds simply because you do not pay for the cost intensive activity of mining and transporting it from one corner of the world to another.
Lab Grown Diamonds are the future of the diamond industry.
