However, with leading dealers like De Beers embracing the trend through their Lightbox Jewellery brand and manufacturing techniques refined, <a href=\"https:\/\/cullenjewellery.com\/engagement-rings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lab-grown engagement rings<\/a> are surging in popularity. This shift may even create arbitrage opportunities, with natural diamond prices potentially falling as lab diamond demand rises.<\/p>\n<h2>Lab Diamonds are Identical to Natural Diamonds<\/h2>\n<p>This is a little-known fact: lab diamonds are grown in reactors simulating natural geological processes. Composed of pure carbon, like their mined counterparts, they score a perfect 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them equally durable. Each lab diamond is unique, with distinct inclusions and growth patterns\u2014no two are alike. The naked eye cannot distinguish them; only lab specialists can. In 2018, the Federal Trade Commission ruled that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diamondworld.net\/Content\/FTC-Declares-Man-Made-Diamonds-as-Diamonds\/16533\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cman-made diamonds are diamonds.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Fancy Cuts, Flawless Colours and Big Carats<\/h2>\n<p>Fancy cuts, oversized stones and vivid colours now dominate luxury jewellery. Natural coloured diamonds, such as pinks or blues, command prices from \u00a3400,000 to \u00a33 million per carat. Lab-grown alternatives make these dreams affordable, especially for engagement rings where couples desire large stones without the premium cost.<\/p>\n<h2>A More Sustainable Choice<\/h2>\n<p>Leading jewellery houses are prioritising ethics by adopting lab-grown diamonds for a lighter planetary footprint. Celebrities like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Zendaya, Emma Watson, Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Lopez have embraced the trend. Leonardo DiCaprio founded Diamond Foundry after his role in <em>Blood Diamond<\/em> (2006), spotlighting conflict diamonds. Lab diamonds avoid mining&#8217;s toll: no funded conflicts, displaced communities, harmed wildlife or polluted groundwater.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to Buy Lab Diamonds<\/h2>\n<p><em>Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/em> offers an excellent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harpersbazaar.com\/uk\/fashion\/what-to-wear\/g26098172\/lab-grown-diamond-brands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">round-up<\/a> of celebrity-favourite international lab diamond brands.
