Diamonds are the symbol of status. They are the physical embodiment of artifacts of love. We gift diamonds to each other only when it is a very important member of our lives. We also gift each other diamonds to commemorate the big and memorable events that take place in our lifetime. For example, people tend to propose to their loved ones with a diamond ring. So, we can see that there are a lot of instances where we require diamonds. But the industry that brings diamonds to our hands is not such a pretty one.
The diamond mining industry has a lot of dark secrets. This industry notoriously uses cheap labor from Africa and exploits their poor financial condition to its worst. They even employ little kids, with a very cheap wager, also denying them the right to education in the process.
It is harmful to the environment as well. The enormous holes the miners create to mine these diamonds have an extremely bad influence on the overall dynamic of the environment. Not to mention the harmful machinery they use for it too. They emit a lot of carbon footprints onto the environment, and it is slowly crushing the balance of the earth.
As opposed to this, we have lab grown diamonds. Lab grown diamonds are diamonds that were procured in the lab by scientists. The scientists used the same chemical structure to make these. So, even if an expert sees them out in the public, he/she won’t be able to differentiate between mined diamonds and lab grown diamonds. As these are made in the labs, buying these diamonds won’t entail ethical guilt either. Also, another big advantage of lab grown diamonds is that they cost 60-70% of what mined diamonds cost.
So, next time you confess your love do with lab grown diamond rings. Lab grown diamond rings will have a material inside them which is a better alternative than mined diamonds.
