At Dainty London, we believe in creating pieces that not only capture hearts but also respect our planet. Lab grown diamonds represent another step in our journey to combine timeless luxury with modern consciousness.

What are Lab Grown Diamonds?

Simply put, lab grown diamonds are real diamonds – chemically, physically, and optically identical to their mined counterparts. The only difference is that they are created in sophisticated laboratories rather than extracted from the Earth. Using advanced technological processes that replicate natural diamond formation, these gems are cultivated with precision and care.

The Brilliant Benefits

Sustainable Luxury

Just as we pride ourselves on using recycled precious metals in our collections, lab grown diamonds represent another step forward in sustainable luxury. These gems require significantly less water usage and land disruption compared to traditional mining methods.

Ethical Clarity

Every lab grown diamond comes with complete transparency in its origin story. There's no question about working conditions or environmental impact – just pure, conscious luxury.

Value & Quality

Here's a sparkling truth: lab grown diamonds typically cost 20-40% less than mined diamonds of equivalent quality. This means you can often choose a larger, higher-quality stone while maintaining the same budget.

The science behind the sparkles

Lab grown diamonds are created using one of two methods:

•          High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT)
•          Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD)

Both processes result in diamonds that are chemically identical to mined diamonds, certified by the same gemmological institutes, and graded using the same 4Cs: Cut, Clarity, Colour, and Carat.

The future of Fine Jewellery

The fine jewellery industry is evolving, and lab grown diamonds are leading the way. As we expand our own fine jewellery collections at Dainty London, we are excited to embrace these innovative gems that align perfectly with our values of sustainability and conscious luxury.

Making your choice

Whether you're considering your first diamond purchase or looking to add to your collection, lab grown diamonds offer an exciting opportunity to make a choice that's both luxurious and forward-thinking. Like the recycled metals we use in our pieces, these gems tell a story of innovation and responsibility.
