Lab Diamond Engagement Ring
The hunt for eco-friendly, affordable diamonds is on! After far too many years of hearing about the violence and poverty surrounding unregulated diamonds, we’ve had enough.
Modern women are demanding an ethical diamond alternative. We want to know where our diamonds are coming from. It’s more than just one of those passing engagement rings trends, but instead a real call to action.
To ensure an ethically produced diamond, many women are turning to lab diamonds. In case you haven’t gotten around to reading my Yes! Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Real Diamonds post yet, I’ll give you the too long, didn’t read version: lab diamonds are amazing.
The lab diamond trend has exploded because these custom stones are conflict-free diamonds with flawless quality and they’re a greener option. How’s That for a win-win-win?
Conflict-Free Diamond Engagement Ring
Of course, diamond alternatives aren’t the only way to get a conflict-free diamond. You can most definitely get a unique engagement ring with a real conflict-free mined diamond too.
The best way to find ethical diamonds is to shop ethical online jewellery stores that abide by The Kimberley Process.
And keep asking questions. Look for information on diamond sourcing and find the exact path of your unique rock.
Eternity Bands as an Engagement Ring
Forget solitaires! Women today are loving the eternity band engagement ring style. From Unusual Black Diamond Eternity Bands to chic rose gold and diamond eternity bands, these unique engagement rings are here to stay.
Rather than wearing the same stack of a solitaire engagement ring with a wedding band, this is one of those engagement rings trends that turns the whole thing on its head.
