Learn why Lab-grown diamonds are environmentally friendly

There’s a lot of emphasis on the fact that lab grown diamonds are more environmentally friendly than the mined ones. And where, we all agree to it right now, do we really know the reason behind this? Do you know what makes our gorgeous lab created diamonds a sustainable choice? Read on to know. 

Before digging deep into this one, let’s understand the dangers of sulfur oxide first. Sulfur oxide is such a chemical that causes serious problems like damaging the respiratory system. It disturbs the lung function and irritates human eyes vigorously. It also increases the risk of getting tract infections. As you now might understand that this substance is quite harmful, imagine the production of 30 pounds of this thing while mining diamonds. By buying a mined diamond you are supporting an activity that does this much harm.

On the other hand, the lab created diamonds produce zero amount of sulfur oxide. Indeed a better option, right?

The next thing is the health of these miners. As humans, we can’t ignore the fact that wanting a thing that does harm fellow humans is not the best way to go about it. And the reason behind this is open-pit mining. Open-pit mining is known to be the most dangerous sector in the world. Not only does  it cause a dangerous impact on miners’ health. But also it is really harmful as the damage is caused to the land too. By changing the vegetation and bedrock of the land where the mining is done you can understand the level of harm that is done.

Now let’s come to the formation of lab grown diamonds, as these diamonds are created under a controlled environment in a lab. They are much more ethically sourced.  

The difference between the two options you have while shopping for diamonds is quite clear now. Both have their pros and cons but when it comes to ethics and sustainability lab grown diamonds are a safe choice. These diamonds are going to mean a lot to you once you own them. Make sure they’re sourced by using the best ways and not something which causes this much damage to your surroundings. We hope you make the best choice!
