For
generations, the catch phrase‘ Diamond are a girl’s best friend’ has rung
through the ears of couples and they’ve been the popular choice for Engagement
Rings for even longer. But in more recent times, many young couples have been
searching for Diamond alternatives for a more environmentally conscious and
more ethically choice.
This
is where the sparkling Lab Created
Diamonds come in – they have improved so much in recent years thanks to the
improved cutting technologies and better manufacturing. They are essentially
Diamonds. They are formed the same way – under intense pressure consisting of
the same carbon atoms and are also engineered into the same characteristic
diamond crystal structure.
Given
that we can take a little short cut that helps us avoid approximately a billion
years or so, we are able to achieve the exact same look and feel as the natural
Diamond. They score a 10 on the Moh’s scale of hardness – the exact same as a
natural genuine Diamond – and, they have the same dispersion of light which
means they exhibit the exact same gorgeous sparkle and shine.
As well as those aspects, another eye-catching feature of these Diamond
alternatives is the fact that they’re Lab Created; this means that they are
grown and not mined which makes them 100% ethically sourced. When you consider
the huge social impact and environmental footprint that mining can have, these
Lab Grown Diamonds are a safe and ethical choice, often making them the only
choice for conscientious couples.
More and more couples around Australia are purchasing Lab Created Diamonds for their conflict free origins and eco-friendly production but the price tag isn’t bad feature either. Whether you’re looking for Lab Grown Diamonds in Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide, the price of these Lab Created Diamonds compared to natural Diamonds are significantly better. Lab Created Diamonds are a huge jump down in terms of a price tag often saving buyers sometimes up to 70% of the cost. When you consider the same approximate price, buyers may be able to get a larger and higher grade of Lab Created Diamond for the same price of a genuine Diamond.
Lab Created Diamonds do demand a different price depending on where in the world you’re purchasing from so it’s always good to consider customs, shipping, and GST costs when you’re shopping, meaning sometimes purchasing locally in Australia can end up costing a lot less than importing. When you’re considering purchasing one of these glistening gems, you’ll need to consider the supplier or retailer and whether you’re looking to purchase a loose Diamond or have it set in Jewellery. Given the smaller price tag of the Lab Created Diamonds, some couples can afford to upgrade the setting or choose a set of bands to complement their Engagement Ring.
Having an appointment with a Jeweller who can
explain all your options and offer those services to you is a must – even
though a Lab Created Diamond Engagement Rings are less expensive, it is still
an important, and often a once in a lifetime purchase.
When looking at Diamond Jewellery, Lab
Grown Diamonds can often be a great alternative, especially in large
heavy-set items such as an Eternity Ring or a Tennis Bracelet. Buying multiple
Diamonds usually in the same grades so that they match can often be expensive,
the Lab Grown alternatives can cost effective, and way to still maintain the
same look and even allow for sometimes larger stones in the same price range.
