Ethical issues: Couple Promise Rings Set diamonds

We've covered many topics, however, we shouldn't overlook this ethical elephant. Where your diamond is sourced matters. CoupleSet Diamonds are traditionally mined out of the earth. However this has been linked to a variety of environmental and ethical concerns such as conflict diamonds and ecological degradation.

Lab-grown diamonds are a safer, more ethical and often less expensive alternative. They are produced in controlled environments, and are virtually identical to their mined counterparts both chemically and aesthetically.

In a study by the International Grown Diamond Association, 66% of millennials consider lab-grown diamonds as engagement rings. This is a clear indication that consumers are shifting their focus towards ethical purchases.

Practical tip: If you decide to go for a lab-grown diamond, ensure that it's certified by a trusted lab. This ensures the quality of the stone and ensures you're getting a genuine lab-grown stone.
