Why choose lab grown stones

We are firm believers that lab grown diamonds are the future of fine jewellery. As one of the first jewellers to recognise this, over half of our collection is now available as lab-grown stones.

lp sustainability beautiful 202604

They're beautiful

Lab grown diamonds and gemstones are formed using state-of-the-art technology to imitate mother nature. They're created by scientists, and are handpicked and tested by gemmologists, ensuring all the quality, clarity and beauty you'd expect from a natural stone - they are chemically and optically identical.

lp sustainability conscious 202604

They're conscious

A conscious and mindful choice, lab-grown diamonds and gemstones are considered more sustainable or environmentally friendly, as they haven't been extracted from the ground, so their production has far less impact on our planet. Because they aren't sourced from mines, they're also conflict-free, making them more socially ethical.

lp sustainability ttainable 202604

They're attainable

Lab-grown diamonds and gemstones are created in weeks rather than millions of years, making them far more attainable than mined stones. This means you can often achieve a larger or higher-quality stone for your budget.

What's the difference between lab grown and mined stones?

lp sustainabilty lab grown banner

Lab grown stones

  • Where art meets science to create a diamond or gemstone in a laboratory, chemically & optically identical to their natural counterparts
  • Same quality, look, feel and sparkle as mined stones
  • Can only be told apart using specialist equipment
  • Considered a more conscious choice because they are environmentally sustainable and socially ethical - no mining is required
  • A faster, more efficient process leading to a more attainable price
  • 6-10 weeks to create
lp sustainability mined banner

Mined stones

  • A rare, natural stone created by our earth
  • Considered higher in value because they are a finite natural resource
  • Require production transparency to ensure they are conflict-free and consciously-mined
  • Have a higher price because they are hard to find, and their production involves mining and transportation
  • 1-3 billion years to create.

How are lab grown diamonds made?

Using an innovative fusion of art and technology, lab grown diamonds are quite literally 'grown' in a laboratory by scientists.

lp sustainability lab grown made 2

The process starts with a tiny shard of a mined diamond, a 'diamond seed', and uses state-of-the-art technology to replicate the natural conditions under which diamonds are formed underground in the earth's mantle.

By applying extreme pressure and heat, imitating the volcanic process, the lab grown diamonds are made of carbon atoms in a lattice crystal structure - exactly the same as mined diamonds. Luckily, lab grown diamonds grow much faster than mined diamonds, and rather than millions of years, it takes just a number of weeks for the carbon atoms to slowly crystalise on the surface of the diamond seed, evolving into a rough diamond. Once ready, the diamond is handpicked and tested by a gemmologist, to be cut, polished and crafted into something beautiful.

Do lab diamonds come with certification?

To ensure quality, trust, and transparency, our lab-grown diamond jewellery is certified where applicable. Here’s what you can expect: 18K gold or platinum with 0.25ct to 0.99ct centre stones include an SKD certificate. From 1.00ct+, 18K and platinum solitaire rings come with GIA or IGI certificate. Select 18K gold or platinum diamond stud earrings from 0.50ct total weight may include SKD certification. Check product details. Silver, vermeil and most 9K gold pieces are not certified, with some exceptions. Contact us for specific queries.
