Clean Origin: Diamonds Done Right

On the alternative, affordable appeal of lab-grown diamonds.

The decision to purchase a single enduring symbol of lifelong commitment is not a small one. Selecting an engagement ring requires careful consideration and thought, which is precisely why lab-grown diamonds are the best choice you can make to demonstrate your commitment to the one you love.

Not only is choosing a lab-grown diamond a more ethically and environmentally friendly choice than purchasing a traditional diamond, but it’s also a more affordable option. Founded by three longtime industry veterans in 2017, Clean Origin has quickly made a name for itself in the mainstream diamond market for its dedication to innovation, transparency, and quality in the field of guilt-free gems.

High-profile celebrities like Lady Gaga, Emma Watson, and Meghan Markle have worn lab grown diamonds out in public and on the red carpet, while conservationist Bindi Erwin’s engagement ring features a stunning lab created diamond set in recycled metal.

What is a lab-grown diamond, anyway?

Lab-grown diamonds have an identical physical and chemical makeup to mined diamonds; the only difference between the two is their origin. Lab-created diamonds are made using state-of-the-art technology that mimics the natural diamond formation process in a fraction of the time. The result? A dazzling stone that is carat-for-carat the same composition as any mined diamond. Over the past decade, lab-grown diamonds have become the fastest-growing sector of the jewelry trade. Today, the majority of large retailers have followed suit, adding lab-grown selections to their offerings as a result of robust consumer demand.

Why go with lab-grown?

Put simply, lab-grown diamonds are a win-win for your budget and your conscience. Buying a man made diamond can be up to 40% less costly than mined diamonds due to a direct-to-consumer supply chain, so you get significantly more bang for your buck. They are an ethically sourced, sustainable alternative to mine-extracted diamonds, which are also often referred to  as “conflict diamonds” or “blood diamonds.” Just as high-quality and long-lasting as mined diamonds, lab-created diamonds are a pure, priceless family heirloom to pass down for generations to come.

With so many options, where do you start when shopping for your dream diamond?

Clean Origin offers a wide array of setting styles, shapes, metal types (such as platinum engagement rings), and metal colors (such as rose gold). So many options can seem overwhelming to the first-time diamond buyer. Rest assured, a Clean Origin diamond expert is always available to guide you through the process, taking you through the 4 C’s of diamond grading—cut, color, clarity, and carat—to helping you build your own custom diamond engagement ring, band, bracelet, pendent, or earrings.

Every diamond is independently certified to guarantee its value is worth every penny of the price tag. Plus, all orders come with free and insured shipping, a 100-day return policy, flexible financing, free resizing, and a lifetime warranty.
