In an article from early February, 2018 Business Insider reported on the 10 most critical problems in the world, according to millennials. The number one concern? Climate change and/or the destruction of nature.
With so many eyes on this problem, there are many companies around the world that are doing their part to create sustainable products and services. From Starbucks cutting out plastic straws to Patagonia honing in on the topic of human consumption, it seems that the new trend across all industries centers around the environment.
There is one industry that you might not know is making a huge impact on helping our earth. Lab-grown diamonds, like the ones offered by Clean Origin, are making their way into the homes — and onto the hands — of engaged couples everywhere.
Earlier this year, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced that lab-grown diamonds are in fact REAL diamonds. They even expanded their definition of “diamond” to include those grown in a lab.
Yet, many people still wonder, ”Is there a difference to the makeup of the diamond?” The answer is, no. The only difference between a mined diamond and a lab-created diamond is its origin.
Lab-created diamonds are “grown” in a lab that replicates the natural diamond growing process that mined diamonds go through. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically and optically the same as those grown beneath the earth’s surface.
“When the FTC made their announcement earlier this year, it was a huge win for Clean Origin,” says Tony Walsh, COO of Clean Origin. “Our goal is to offer truly conflict-free diamonds for a broader market. We hope that this ruling will encourage more couples to consider the benefits of lab-grown diamonds.”
Lab-grown diamonds can be anywhere from 20-30% less expensive than mined diamonds. By cutting out the need for miners, lab-created diamonds touch fewer hands, making them less expensive.This means that you can purchase a diamond that is 20-30% larger for the exact same price!
“Clean Origin has excellent customer service with excellent products at the best prices! I highly recommend them for any jewelry needs,” says Clean Origin customer, Parker N.
Ethical
As you may know, the mined diamond industry came under scrutiny several years go when unethical production practices were exposed. “Blood” or “conflict” diamonds were funding violence and exploiting miners and their families.
Thanks to the Kimberley Process, established in 2003, these unethical practices have been significantly reduced. However, if avoiding conflict or blood diamonds is important to you, lab-created diamonds provide peace of mind, and you may find reassurance in knowing the exact origin of your diamond…a Clean Origin.
As with the mining of any natural resource, diamond mining has a significant impact on the environment. Although diamond mining companies have taken steps to try to minimize their effect, it still takes a sizable amount of energy to mine a diamond.
Lab-created diamonds, on the other hand, take considerably less energy to grow. Plus, minimizing the amount of energy used in the growing process helps to decrease the costs.
One of the companies making their name known in the lab-grown diamond industry is Clean Origin. As third generation jewelers, the diamond experts at Clean Origin have over 100 years of collective experience. From the start, high-quality diamonds and exceptional customer service have been their number one priority, which is why they chose to design all of their jewelry using lab-created diamonds.
“We’re doing our part to provide 100% conflict free, eco-friendly, and affordable diamonds for life’s most momentous occasions,” says Alexander Weindling, Founder of Clean Origin. “We take great pride in knowing where our diamonds come from, and providing the absolute best value for our customers.”
