Recently, more consumers are moving toward eco-friendly options in every aspect of their lives, as well as concerning themselves with ethical practices of companies they purchase from.
Here at Van Adams Jewelers, we consider both natural and lab grown diamonds to be fantastic choices for your engagement ring. However, lab created diamonds have become increasingly popular because they’re cost effective, eco-friendly, and ethical. That being said, we ethically source all of our natural stones as well.
1. Lower Price for Better Quality
Lab grown diamonds tend to cost about 30% less than a natural. So, that doesn’t make them “cheap” by any means. But, due to the controlled conditions of the lab, the quality can be superb!!! Also, lab grown diamonds come in a variety of clarities and colors so you have the same choices as you do with natural diamonds at a lesser cost.
2. Eco Friendly
Saving the Earth is something that benefits all of us. Since lab grown diamonds are created in a lab, they do not require digging up tons of earth, potentially polluting the air with fossil fuels due to large equipment or contaminate local water sources.
3. Ethically Sourced
All of our diamonds, natural or lab, are ethically sourced. We subscribe to The Kimberly Process for all of our natural diamonds. There is no place in our world for conflict diamonds. Nonetheless, we are more than pleased to make your dream engagement ring a reality whether you decide that a lab or natural diamond best fits with your values.
