Sustainability at the Heart of the Partnership
This collaboration is built on a shared commitment to sustainability.
CHIC's merchandise programme embraces a carbon-neutral approach, prioritising responsible production methods and recyclable materials. Skydiamond mirrors those values through a pioneering process that has redefined what a diamond can be.
Skydiamond makes the world's most sustainable lab diamond. It is currently the only carbon-negative lab-grown diamond. Every Skydiamond uses four natural ingredients: wind, sun, rain, and atmospheric CO₂. They are produced in the UK using renewable energy. Skydiamonds offer traditional diamond beauty. They do this without environmental mining impact.
The partnership represents a natural alignment between two brands committed to innovation, responsibility and positive change.
Diamonds Created from the Sky
Not all lab-grown diamonds are created equal.
Diamonds are produced locally in Gloucestershire's Sky Lab. They come exclusively from nature's elements. This offers complete end-to-end traceability. The facility is powered by 100% renewable energy. It comes from sister company Ecotricity. This facility is the only one of its kind.
The result is a real diamond. It has beauty, durability, and sparkle. These are expected from a mined diamond. It is created without extraction or mining. It also has a dramatically reduced environmental footprint.
As Skydiamond puts it: "Bling without the sting."
A Future Collectible
The CHIC x Skydiamond brooch is a meaningful collectible. It is for fans and for collectors alike. It is priced at £1,975. This pays tribute to the year CHIC formed. Each piece celebrates music history. It also supports a more sustainable future.

The CHIC x Skydiamond brooch is more than jewelry. It symbolises creativity, innovation, and conscious luxury. It blends CHIC's timeless influence, while also incorporating Skydiamond's pioneering spirit.
