Choosing between ethical lab-grown engagement rings involves more than finding a design you love. Understanding how your diamond was created, how it is certified and which materials are used can help you make a more informed decision.
1. Understand How Your Diamond Was Created
Not all lab-grown diamonds are made in the same way. Skydiamond creates man-made diamonds using carbon captured from the atmosphere, alongside rainwater and renewable energy at our Sky Lab in Gloucestershire. This process is central to Skydiamond’s approach to sustainability.
2. Check Certification and Traceability
A diamond’s origin and quality matter. Independent assessment and documentation can help you understand the stone you are buying. Skydiamond's are independently verified by imperial college London and certified by the Birmingham Assay Office. Discover our full Skydiamond traceability, from carbon to a sky-made diamond.
3. Consider the Materials and Craftsmanship
The setting is just as important as the diamond. Consider the precious metals used, the quality of the craftsmanship and how the ring will be worn for years to come. Skydiamond uses recycled and reclaimed precious metals, reflecting our approach to responsible jewellery craftsmanship.
