Let’s face it — nothing feels better than feeling 100% free to be authentically you, confident in who you are and how you present yourself to the world. Wearing a beautiful statement ring is the ultimate pick-me-up, especially when it’s made from diamonds! This idea isn’t just a blog point — it’s actually validated by science!
Hi, conscious consumers — this blog is for you. It’s also for those of you who are just beginning to research the differences in mined and lab-grown diamonds. While much of the debate about lab-grown diamonds zeroes in on semantics (like suggesting lab-grown diamonds aren’t “real”, which is totally false), there are plenty of tangible benefits to opting for a diamond born in a lab versus a diamond formed in the Earth.
“Flawless” is a slang buzzword that we’re all saying to describe amazing, beautiful, wonderful things in our lives. But when we’re talking about diamonds, we shouldn’t be so quick to describe them as “flawless.” Why not? A flawless diamond is exceptionally rare, and we know that because when diamonds are graded using the four C’s (carat, cut, color, and clarity), jewelers specifically look for flaws within the diamond in order to grade the clarity.
Confused about what a diamond is or isn’t based on all the new products coming into the market? We don’t blame you! Things aren’t quite as simple these days when you go to buy a diamond or are browsing engagement rings, simply based on the sheer number of options. Lab-grown, Earth-mined, moissanite, cubic zirconium, morganite — there is a lot to consider!
One of our passions at New World Diamonds is helping to promote a sustainable future through our creation and sales of lab-grown diamonds. No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, you have surely heard of the global climate crisis we are facing. We are not trying to scare you, but scientists from the UN released a report back in October 2018 that detailed how we will see food shortages, wildfires, mass die-offs of coral reefs, and more climate-related issues by 2040 if we don’t take critical actions, stat. Unfortunately, many people are unsure how to take action, as we are caught in a sticky web of political rhetoric and industry-driven marketing efforts that only expand the confusion around environmental impacts that are causing the climate crisis.
Shopping for engagement rings? Before we dive in — congratulations! What an exciting time in your life. We know how special this time is in your life, and we want to help you be as well-equipped as possible when shopping...
While all diamonds are sparkly and beautiful (gemstone diamonds anyway), they are not all created equal. That’s why the GIA established the four C’s of grading diamonds: cut, carat, clarity, and color. When you invest in a certified diamond, it’s accompanied by a grading report that gives you specific details about its four C’s. While things like carat (the total weight of the diamond) and cut are easier to decipher, you may be confused as to what the color means — especially when it comes to white diamonds. In this blog, we’ll explain all about how diamonds are graded based on color to help you better understand this aspect of the diamond grading process. This is true for both lab-grown diamonds and Earth-formed diamonds, as they are graded in the exact same way.
While diamonds are one of the strongest and most durable substances on Earth, they do need some regular maintenance to keep them as bright and beautiful and possible.
Ah, love. One of life’s great joys is finding that special someone, your other half, the soulmate you waited for — the person you decide to create a life with. Life can be tough and wrought with challenges, so when...
