It will be great investment as well, as the value of mined diamonds only increases with time.

Why Choose Lab-Diamonds?
Lab created diamonds (also known as man-made diamonds, and cultured diamonds), are pure, crystallized carbon diamonds grown in a controlled laboratory environment. They have the exact same physical, chemical, and optical properties as earth-mined diamonds. They are also graded on the same scale as earth-mined diamonds and come with a grading report/certificate.
ECO FRIENDLY
Lab-grown diamonds require less space and resources to produce stones than that of the monolith mines that wreak havoc on local ecosystems.
VALUE
Lab-grown diamonds offer excellent value and are 30-50% more affordable than mined diamonds of comparable size and quality.
CONFLICT-FREE
Lab-grown diamonds never fund foreign conflict. Further, work conditions are carefully regulated and never exploit child laborers.
