Let’s Talk Lab Diamonds: Real, Ethical, and Beautiful
Lab-grown diamonds are transforming the fine jewellery world — and we think that’s a good thing.
At Auclair, we proudly offer lab-grown diamonds as part of our collection. Why? Because they’re genuine diamonds, every bit as stunning as their mined counterparts — and they offer customers an ethical, sustainable, and affordable alternative.
What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are created in high-tech laboratories that replicate the natural conditions in which diamonds form underground. They have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds — and are graded using the exact same 4 Cs.
This isn’t cubic zirconia or a simulant. These are real diamonds, just made in months rather than over billions of years.
Why Choose a Lab Diamond?
✅ Ethical Sourcing
Mined diamonds can sometimes come with a high human and environmental cost. By choosing a lab-grown diamond, you’re supporting a more transparent supply chain and helping reduce the demand for unsustainable mining practices.
✅ More Diamond for Your Budget
Lab diamonds typically cost 30–50% less than mined diamonds of the same size and quality. That means you can get a bigger, higher-grade stone — or save significantly — without compromising on brilliance or beauty.
✅ Environmentally Conscious
While no production method is impact-free, lab-grown diamonds have a much smaller environmental footprint, using less land and water, and avoiding the ecosystem disruption associated with mining.
But Is It Still ‘Special’?
This is the question we hear most — and the answer is yes. Your ring’s value comes from what it means to you, not where the stone was formed. A lab-grown diamond still reflects your love, your story, and your commitment. It’s no less real, no less precious, and no less symbolic.
Final Thoughts
Lab-grown diamonds aren’t just a trend — they’re the future of fine jewellery. At Auclair, we’re here to offer choice without judgement, and beauty without compromise. Whether you choose a lab-grown or natural stone, our promise remains the same: exceptional quality, ethical sourcing, and a piece you’ll treasure forever.
