Why Choose Lab Grown Diamonds
We are firm believers that lab grown diamonds are the future of fine jewellery. As one of the first jewellers to recognise this, over half of our collection is now available as lab grown or ethically mined diamonds.
They're Beautiful
Lab grown diamonds are formed using state-of-the-art technology to imitate mother nature. They're created by scientists, and are handpicked and tested by gemmologists, ensuring all the quality, clarity and beauty you'd expect from a natural diamond - they are chemically and optically identical.
They're Conscious
A conscious and mindful choice, they are considered more sustainable or environmentally ethical, as they haven't been extracted from the ground, so their production has far less impact on our planet. Because they aren't sourced from mines, they're also conflict-free, making them more socially ethical.
They're Attainable
Lab-grown diamonds are created in weeks rather than millions of years, making them far more attainable than mined stones. This means you can often achieve a larger or higher-quality diamond for your budget. It’s also easier to produce coloured lab-grown diamonds, giving you a wider choice of beautiful shades – all at a more accessible price.

What's the difference between lab grown diamonds and mined diamonds
How are lab grown diamonds made?
Using an innovative fusion of art and technology, lab grown diamonds are quite literally 'grown' in a laboratory by scientists.
The process starts with a tiny shard of a mined diamond, a 'diamond seed', and uses state-of-the-art technology to replicate the natural conditions under which diamonds are formed underground in the earth's mantle. By applying extreme pressure and heat, imitating the volcanic process, the lab grown diamonds are made of carbon atoms in a lattice crystal structure - exactly the same as mined diamonds.
Luckily, lab grown diamonds grow much faster than mined diamonds, and rather than millions of years, it takes just a number of weeks for the carbon atoms to slowly crystalise on the surface of the diamond seed, evolving into a rough diamond.
Once ready, the diamond is handpicked and tested by a gemmologist, to be cut, polished and crafted into something beautiful.
