10 Factors to Consider When Choosing Lab-Grown Diamond Jewelry
Lab-grown diamonds are a great option for those looking for ethical and affordable diamond jewelry. Here are ten factors to consider when choosing lab-grown diamond jewelry:
-
Conversation is key - have detailed conversations with your jeweller about cut, clarity, color, and finally carat weight. This is so that you understand all the options.
- Make sure any 1ct or over lab grown diamonds comes with a certificate of verification from an independent gemological institute.
-
Compare prices across different brands and retailers before making a purchase.
-
Check the reputation of the brand or retailer you plan to buy from by reading reviews from other customers or talking directly to the brand.
-
Consider your personal style preferences when selecting a piece of lab grown diamond jewelry.
-
Think about what occasions you will wear it for and how it will fit into your overall wardrobe.
-
Make sure you are clear on the language used during your diamond buying experience, a "diamond alternate" and "diamond simulant" are common confusing phrases that actually mean CZ or moissanite stones not lab grown diamonds.
-
Decide if you are looking for classic designs that can be worn for years to come rather or more unique, trendy pieces that can still be timeless when done correctly.
-
Remember that lab grown diamonds have a lower environmental impact and lack unethical labor practices compared to mined diamonds as well as a lower price point.
-
Enjoy your gorgeous new luxury piece, knowing that you made a financially smart, ethical choice.
