Why Lab Diamonds?
Holding identical chemical, optical and physical properties to mined diamonds, they are the closest alternatives to mined diamonds. Lab diamonds, as the name implies, are made in a laboratory by simulating the high temperatures and high pressures that exist in the Earth’s crust where diamonds develop. It is impossible to tell a lab-grown diamond from a natural one because they both exhibit the same fire, sparkle, and brightness. Just as displayed in the image below, Lily Arkwrights ‘Macy’ engagement ring, highlights the ways that lab diamonds can be showcased and made into your dream ring. Since they don’t include the faults and impurities that come from the development and mining of natural diamonds, ethical diamonds can actually be more desirable than natural ones. Lab Diamond engagement rings are ideal for those who want a real diamond without the high price or negative environmental effects associated with mined diamonds. They are 40% less expensive and have less of an impact on the environment while still being just as luxurious, dazzling, and long-lasting.
You can be sure that your diamond has been carefully made and that it satisfies your unique specifications because Lily Arkwright only sources and sets IGI and GIA certified lab diamonds.
Why Moissanite?
Moissanite is a rare gem with unusual chemical and visual characteristics that was first found in a meteorite crater. Extremely rare in nature (even rarer than diamonds), scientists developed an inventive thermal growing technique that occurs under carefully regulated lab settings, enabling its lab-grown development for use in engagement rings and other fine jewellery.
Moissanite engagement rings are an excellent diamond substitute with a stunning visual appearance, ideal for brides-to-be needing an eco-friendly solution and a unrivalled sheen and glitter. Moissanite engagement rings are only a tiny bit brighter and more reflective. With a Mohs hardness rating of 9.25 to 9.5, Moissanite ranks second among all gemstones in terms of durability, making it an excellent option for engagement rings intended to be worn frequently. Moissanite is also the second-most expensive gemstone.
Forever One by Charles & Colvard, the finest moissanite in the world, is offered by Lily Arkwright. Charles & Colvard Forever One clarity is graded “internally perfect” to “very minimally included,” and it is the original producer of moissanite stones. Forever One by Charles & Colvard, which uses a special proprietary procedure to grow each moissanite, has an unmatched cut and clarity, flawless colour, and is 10 times whiter than normal moissanite. This results in a gemstone with exceptional beauty and brilliance. As shown below, the Lily Arkwright 4.20ct Coco ring, displays the bright white their lab diamond moissanite can emit.
Each Charles & Colvard Forever One Moissanite engagement ring includes a limited lifetime warranty that ensures your moissanite stone will keep its fire and brilliance for as long as you live. This warranty symbolises the lifetime of love you and your partner have for one another and ensures your gemstone looks just as stunning as the day you bought it. Do not forget to look at Lily Arkwright’s collection of moissanite pendants and earrings, which would create a stunning bridal set.
A splash of colour
What are coloured gemstones? All three of these stones are regarded as precious gems: rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. As a result of their complexity and far-flung origins, precious gems are, on the whole, significantly more coveted than semi-precious gems.
Lily Arkwright’s collection of lab-grown coloured engagement rings, which previously only featured emeralds, sapphires, and rubies, has expanded to include magnificent padparadscha, alexandrite, as well as yellow, pink, champagne, and aquamarine sapphire. The world’s top producer of lab-grown coloured gemstones, Chatham, is responsible for all of the jewels in the new collection.
Colored Gemstone engagement rings have been incredibly trendy over the past several years. Lily Arkwright is pleased to be able to create items that are ethically and sustainably produced without any of the negative repercussions of mining.
Petite Lab Diamond Engagement Rings
The Lily Arkwright Petite Lab Diamond Line is ideal for you if you want sophisticated, modern, and minimalist designs. Petite rings all have a narrow band and come in a variety of precious metals, including 950 platinum, 18k white gold, 18k yellow gold, and 18k rose gold, in micro plain, pavé, and channel settings.
The exquisite tight band really makes it possible for the centre stone of your choice to steal the show and always maintain a crisp and tidy appearance.
