We must admit, we love diamonds. But what we love more is our environment and human lives. Have you seen the movie Blood Diamond? The title refers to mined diamonds which lead to human suffering, corruption, child labor, poverty, environmental disruption, and war. Diamonds are hardly traceable. This is why we choose lab-grown diamonds which are 100% conflict-free and real. Lab-created diamonds are made with an innovative technology identically to the real chemical process in nature. Let us introduce you to 5 ethical jewelry brands with real, conflict-free diamonds created in a lab.

Lark & Berry

Supermodel Martha Hunt was one of Lark & Berry’s first supporters and was proudly wearing their lab-grown diamond pieces during the Cannes Film Festival. Besides their colorless diamonds of category F and VS+ in clarity (eye-clean), Lark & Berry also creates beautiful gemstones using lab technology. Find their most precious jewels in the “Fine Jewelry” section that features pieces in platinum and 18K gold with fancy cultured gemstones and diamonds.  In the Demi-Fine Jewelry, you can shop playful 14K gold (white, yellow & rose) pieces with cultured diamonds.
