Forget Minimalism: Bold Lab Diamond Jewelry is Taking Over

Have you noticed how jewelry styles are changing these days? The small, simple pieces that were popular for years are starting to make way for something more exciting. Now, bold lab diamonds are becoming the new trend, where more people are choosing bigger and eye-catching pieces that really stand out.  

Lab diamonds are actually taking over the jewelry world in a big way! And here’s the interesting part - while they are created by scientists, they’re still real diamonds with the same chemical, sparkle, and beauty as the natural ones! 

What Are Lab Diamonds?

Lab Diamonds are nothing but actual diamonds which are grown in a lab. Scientists recreate them under conditions from where diamonds naturally form in the earth. But these are created in a much  shorter time frame.

Now, these are not fake diamonds or diamond simulants (such as cubic zirconia). They’re real, just made in a different way. And they’re becoming the first choice for many jewelry lovers who want bold, beautiful pieces without some of the downsides of natural diamonds.  

Why Are Lab Diamonds Taking Over the Jewelry Industry?  

•    Better Value for Money 

One of the main reasons for lab diamonds becoming so popular is simple: they cost less. This means you can get a bigger and more impressive diamond for less money!  

Think about it - if you want a bold piece of jewelry that makes a statement, size matters. With lab diamonds, you can afford a bigger, more eye-catching stone that might have been out of your budget with natural diamonds.   

•    Ethical Sourcing

A lot of people are worried about where their diamonds come from. Natural diamond mining has been linked to environmental damage, unfair labor practices, and so on. 

On the other hand, lab diamonds completely remove all these worries. They are created in controlled environments. There is no risk for buying diamonds that would’ve been created under violence or exploitation. This peace of mind is incredibly valuable to many jewelry buyers.

•    Amazing Quality 

The impurity and inclusion content within lab diamonds is typically lower than what natural diamonds contain. Better clarity ratings emerge from such conditions making the stones glitter with increased brilliance. 

Laboratory diamond creation technology allows producers to create diamond hues that occur only rarely in natural occurrences. Want a bold blue diamond? Or perhaps a striking yellow? The accessibility of these options increases because of lab diamonds.  

•    Perfect for Bold Jewelry Designs

Lab diamonds serve as ideal materials for striking jewelry designs because they present excellent quality at more affordable prices. 

The market for bold diamond jewelry designs employing lab diamonds has increased dramatically since their introduction. Due to their affordability lab diamonds enable jewelry designers to craft exceptional statement jewelry items by incorporating charming earrings and eye-catching necklaces.

Popular Jewelry on Bold and Beautiful Styles 

•    Bold Earrings That Make a Statement

Earrings are one of the most popular ways to make a bold jewelry statement. Large diamond studs, dramatic danglers, and innovative designs are all trending.

For instance, The Jessica Alba-inspired red carpet pearl earrings display 12.00 total carats of pear-cut diamond gemstones which are lab-grown.

Another popular style is the Oval Lab Diamond Earrings that replicate the same design as what Margot Robbie has famously worn on various occasions. 

Oval-cut lab-grown diamonds as the focal point and an additional 4.00 TCW of accent oval diamonds, these earrings create a breathtaking look visible from every angle.

•    Dramatic Necklaces and Pendants

Bold necklaces and pendants are another way to create a statement with lab diamond jewelry. You’ll find various designs from modern and geometric to classic and glamorous.

Ouros Jewels presents The Baguette And Round Cross Pendant consisting of two diamond shapes—long baguette and circular—that amount to 2.95 carats of totality. 

For those who prefer personalized jewelry, the Round Diamond Customized Letter Pendant allows you to wear your initial or a loved one's initials in sparkling lab diamonds. A contemporary adaptation of standard jewelry fashion caters well to customers who desire jewelry pieces that express who they are.

•    Eye-Catching Rings 

Rings are perhaps the most traditional place for diamonds, but there's nothing traditional about the bold new designs featuring lab diamonds.

Lab diamonds led to the evolution of engagement ring aesthetics through designs showcased in the Emerald Three-Stone Engagement Ring with tapered baguette diamonds.

Lab-created engagement rings can also be seen through the rising use of edgier designs that include wedding bands. As lab diamonds lower costs they make a wide range of elaborate designs including stack rings and wide band rings and unique shapes available to everyone.

Why Jewelers Are Embracing Lab Diamonds 

Jewelers are increasingly offering lab diamonds to their customers, and there are several good reasons for this trend:

1. Customer Demand

   Simply put, customers are asking for lab diamonds. As more and more people are learning about lab diamonds, they are specifically asking for them when they shop!

2. Sustainability Goals

   Many jewelry businesses have sustainability objectives and commitments. Offering lab diamonds helps them meet these goals and appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.

3. Better Profit Margins

   While lab diamonds jewelry cost less than natural diamonds, they still offer good profit margins for jewelers. This makes them a win-win - customers get better value, and jewelers can maintain healthy businesses.

4. More Design Freedom

   With lab diamonds, jewelers and designers have more freedom to create bold, innovative designs without worrying about the astronomical costs that would come with using natural diamonds of the same size.

The Quality of Lab Diamonds

People doubt if artificial diamonds match the quality standards of earth-mined gems. Let's address this concern directly:

1.      Durability

       A lab diamond maintains the exact hardness rating of 10 just like its natural counterpart on the Mohs scale. Lab diamonds reveal no difference when it comes to their resistance against surface marks and deterioration.

2.       Brilliance and Sparkle 
   

       A diamond's sparkle hinges on its shape and purity, not its origin from the earth or a lab. Natural gems can't outdo well-shaped lab-grown diamonds in brightness because they show the same level of sparkle.

3.      Long-term Value

       The market value of both natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds keep changing, but lab diamonds maintain good long-term worth because of their durability and timeless appeal.

How to Choose Bold Lab Diamond Jewelry

If you're interested in bold lab diamond jewelry, here are some tips for choosing pieces you'll love:

1. Consider Your Style 
   

   Bold does not necessarily imply dazzling! Think about your personal style and the appearance you want to achieve. Bold may be modern, minimalist, retro, or gorgeous!

2. Think About Wearability
   

   Wearing jewellery that you will really wear is the best type of bold jewelry! Choose jewelry that actually suits your clothing while also taking your lifestyle into consideration.

3. Focus on Quality
   

   The quality of a diamond is always important just like it is for natural made diamonds. Only look for reputable jewellers with high colour, cut, and clarity ratings.
