In 2025, the choice of the perfect diamond has never been clearer: lab-grown diamonds are revolutionising the world of luxury jewellery.
Celebrities such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Meghan Markle, Emma Watson and Jennifer Lopez have showcased their lab-grown diamond jewellery on the red carpet and in everyday life.
But why are more and more people choosing lab-grown diamonds for engagement rings, solitaires and precious jewellery?
Here are four reasons that will forever change your perspective on diamonds.
Reason 1: Lab-Grown Diamonds are 100% Real Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds are authentic diamonds, not imitations.
This is the first myth to dispel. They are not fakes, and certainly not cubic zirconia.
Created in cutting-edge laboratories using technologies that precisely replicate the conditions of the Earth’s mantle, lab-grown diamonds have:
– The same chemical composition (100% pure carbon),
– Identical physical properties (hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale),
– Indistinguishable brilliance from mined ones.
The definitive proof?
Even the most expert gemmologists cannot distinguish them from mined diamonds with the naked eye. Molecular analysis instruments are required to notice microscopic differences in atomic structure.
Fàbera lab-grown diamonds are certified by the same prestigious gemmological institutions that evaluate natural diamonds: IGI and HRD, according to the same rigorous standards of the 4Cs (cut, colour, clarity, carat weight).
Reason 2: Excellent Value for Money
Lab-grown diamonds cost up to 80% less than natural diamonds.
This is because there’s no speculation created by multinational companies like De Beers or mark-ups from jewellers (let’s also add that mined diamonds aren’t as rare as we’ve always been led to believe!).
The creation of lab-grown diamonds requires less labour and resources compared to the complex and expensive process of extracting natural diamonds.
Let’s take an example: a 1-carat Fàbera lab-grown diamond with IGI certificate of authenticity and SCS-007 Sustainability Rated Diamond (F-VVS2) costs €970, versus a 1-carat mined diamond (E/F-VVS2) which can cost between €8,000-€10,000.
So, if you want to invest your money both in a precious piece of jewellery and in something else (for example, the experience you could create when making your marriage proposal) whilst still obtaining a diamond with the same characteristics as a mined one, lab-grown diamonds are the best choice.
Reason 3: A Responsible Choice with a Completely Traceable Supply Chain
Choosing laboratory diamonds demonstrates your commitment to environmental sustainability.
The extraction of natural diamonds is notoriously more impactful and harmful to the environment and wildlife. Deep diamond excavation leaves enormous craters that, in many cases, are visible from space!
The green revolution of lab-grown diamonds:
– Zero environmental impact from mining,
– Renewable energy in the most advanced laboratories,
– 100% traceable supply chainfrom creation to finished jewelry,
– Reduced carbon footprint of 85%compared to extraction.
Attention!
It would be wrong to say that lab-grown diamonds are 100% sustainable; their technology still has significant room for improvement in energy efficiency. However, they still prove to be a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly alternative compared to mined diamonds.
Reason 4: Ethical and Conflict-Free
Lab-grown diamonds are the perfect choice for consumers who opt for ethical choices. They offer a guarantee of conflict-free origin, ensuring that the purchase supports responsible practices throughout the entire diamond supply chain.
The diamond supply chain is complex and there have been cases where diamonds extracted from conflict zones have ended up on the market with fraudulent or misleading documentation. The truth is that only lab-grown diamonds are guaranteed to be conflict-free.
Additionally, none of Fàbera’s lab-grown diamonds come from conflict zones.
2025 is the year of awareness: more and more couples are choosing lab-grown diamonds for engagement rings that represent their values.
It’s not just about a diamond, but about a declaration of love that looks to the future with responsibility and intelligence.
