Understandably, selecting a gemstone for the most cherished pieces of jewellery in our lifetime come with careful consideration. At Metal and Dust, we know the things that matter to us, also matter to our community. We can work with both Natural (Mined) and Lab Grown Diamonds, but it's no secret we favour the more sustainable option. Here's why.

Quality Without Compromise

Lab Grown Diamonds are made with advanced technology that replicates the exact conditions by which a Mined Diamond is formed underground. Chemically and physically they are identical to Mined Diamonds. Instead of forming over millions of years, they are made in a few weeks. This controlled process means they are produced with extreme precision.

You can select a higher quality Lab Grown Diamond, often with better cut, clarity and brilliance in comparison to a Mined Diamond. To put it simply, you'll get a better quality, bigger diamond for a more affordable investment than a Mined Diamond where you may need to make compromises on quality.

Ethical and Environmental

Lab Grown diamonds are produced without mining, significantly reducing environmental impact. They require less water, energy, resources and produce far less waste. Lab Grown Diamonds are fully traceable and conflict-free. 

Modern, Attainable Luxury

The meaning of luxury in fine jewellery has evolved. It is no longer defined by excessive price points, but careful considerations that reflect the values of informed consumers. Lab Grown Diamonds are affordable, consciously produced and uncompromising in quality.
