A softer kind of statement
Natural coloured diamonds are among the rarest gems on earth. Grown in a lab, the same crystal chemistry produces pinks and yellows that are certified, consistent and a fraction of the price.
We are seeing them chosen as a first fine-jewelry piece, or as a second stone to wear alongside an engagement ring.
Sapphire and ruby, too
Lab-grown sapphires and rubies share the exact composition of their mined counterparts. Paired with white diamonds in 18k gold they read classic, not costume.
