As we gear up to celebrate World Environment Day, let’s adorn ourselves with sustainable jewelry. How? With lab-grown gems, of course!
In an era where eco-friendly fashion is the ultimate style statement, these gemstones offer guilt-free glamor. From vintage-inspired treasures to cutting-edge designs, there’s a lab-grown piece for every trendsetter.
Why Are Lab-Grown Diamonds And Gemstones Considered Sustainable?
Lab-grown diamonds and gemstones are revolutionizing the jewelry industry by offering a sustainable alternative to traditional mining.
For context, these gems are created in controlled environments with the help of cutting-edge technology, resulting in stunning stones that are virtually identical to their earth-mined counterparts. Angara champions lab-grown diamonds and gemstones, making it easier than ever for consumers to make an eco-friendly choice without compromising on quality or beauty.
For instance, did you know that producing a single carat of mined diamonds releases a staggering amount of carbon into the atmosphere? In stark contrast, lab-grown diamonds emit just six pounds of carbon per carat — an impressive 4.8% of the carbon footprint of mined diamonds.
Of course, the benefits of lab-grown diamonds extend far beyond the reduced carbon footprint. These gems also require significantly less water — 108 fewer gallons per carat, to be precise. And considering the fact that Angara has sold 1,200 carats of lab-grown stones recently, that’s a remarkable 130,000 gallons of water saved in just a few months!
If that doesn’t say ‘water conservation,’ we don’t know what will.
What’s more, by using only 0.07 square feet per carat, lab-grown diamonds disrupt far less land than natural gemstones and generate just one pound of mineral waste. This minimal ecological damage means you can enjoy your stunning lab-created jewelry stress-free, knowing it’s a choice that respects our planet.
And if you think sustainable sparkle means sacrificing color, think again! In addition to lab-made diamond jewelry, Angara offers a dazzling array of lab-grown sapphires, emeralds and rubies, allowing you to add a vibrant pop of color to your eco-conscious style.
