Why Lab-Grown Diamonds Are the New Luxury of the Future
Luxury is evolving—and its newest face is conscious, radiant, and entirely redefined. At Sol Et Terre, we’re embracing a shift that’s not just aesthetic, but ethical: the rise of lab-grown diamonds.
These are real diamonds, crafted through modern alchemy—science meets sustainability—with the same dazzle, durability, and decadence as their mined counterparts. Only, with none of the environmental baggage.
What Makes Lab-Grown Diamonds So Desirable?
Let’s break it down:
-
Identical in brilliance to mined diamonds—chemically, physically, and visually
-
80% more affordable, making exceptional quality more accessible
-
Zero mining, dramatically reducing environmental and ethical impact
-
Fully traceable, offering transparency modern luxury demands
Lab grown diamonds cost less to produce than natural diamonds cost to mine, plus they are a renewable product, unlike natural diamonds. Because of this, lab grown diamonds are more accessible to buy than natural diamonds.
However, a lab grown diamond is still 100% authentic and identical to a precious beautiful mined diamond, which means it is worth something: it is a highly valuable, desirable and still very rare product. Plus the technology, skills, machinery and innovation required to produce a lab grown diamond are significant; hence lab grown diamonds have a significant market value, albeit less than natural diamonds.
What does that mean for you? It means you can wear your values—elegantly.
Not a Trend. A Revolution.
In 2024 alone, nearly 80% of engagement rings sold by top jewellers were lab-grown. That isn’t just a shift—it’s a signal. The next generation of tastemakers is choosing jewellery that aligns with their beliefs without sacrificing beauty or prestige.
And it’s not just engagement rings. From self-love purchases to milestone gifts, lab-grown diamonds are becoming the go-to for discerning, style-led individuals who care deeply about the origin of their adornments.
Fashion’s biggest night, the Met Gala is star-studded event all around — usually with a focus on new clothes — but this year a less talked-about topic joined the conversation at the Met Gala in a big way: sustainability. Including the Lab Grown Diamonds trend.
At Sol Et Terre, we’ve built a conscious collection that honors both craftsmanship and conscience. Each diamond is grown, cut, and set with meticulous care—designed for those who want their jewellery to whisper elegance, not excess.
We believe that:
Luxury should never cost the Earth.
And beauty should never be blind to impact.
Every Sol Et Terre piece tells a story of sustainability, responsibility, and style. Whether it’s the ring you say “yes” with, or the necklace you wear every day, these pieces aren’t just jewellery. They’re statements.
