The Top Hollywood Stars That Shine Brighter With Lab-Grown Diamonds
It is an era of mindfulness and electric vehicles, of vegan lifestyles and reduced consumption, there are enough advocates of sustainability and conscious living be it youth icon and environmentalist Greta Thunberg or heartthrob and actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Easily available alternatives are making their way into daily life and consumers are spoiled for choice to make the right decision- one that keeps in mind our planet.
One remarkable change in the environmental movement is the advent of lab-grown diamonds. We don’t say this with the intent of greenwashing but simply choose to state facts - these sustainable diamonds are better for the environment and human safety and rights as well. Conflict diamonds exist and are heavily smuggled into countries to avoid detection. Miners die, holes are dug into the earth and fossil fuel is exhausted for the hedonistic pleasure of owning a bit of sparkle. While every woman is drawn to diamonds, there is now a cruelty-free option for diamond lovers and the lab-grown movement is gaining momentum
