Don’t worry! We ain’t into the cliche talk of having the best diamonds in the industry or about being a leading retailer of the same yet again. Though that stands true, we’re just talking science here - and how the diamonds we sell are actually friendly.
Our lab grown diamonds support local communities by eliminating the need for harmful mining practices. This reduces social conflicts and ensures that substantial resources are used to benefit local economies.
At Friendly Diamonds, our main priority is you. We offer ethical and budget-friendly choices for you! Our diamonds provide the same stunning quality but at a more affordable price, making luxury accessible to everyone.
Having a significantly lower environmental impact and being Earth-kind is our top-most priority. All our diamonds require less energy and water, produce fewer carbon emissions, and avoid the ecological damage caused by mining.
Lab grown diamonds are no different to mined diamonds, except for their source. Like ice, which can be formed naturally or in your refrigerator- the composition remains identical, the output better!
Absolutely! Lab-grown diamonds possess the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds and the only difference lies in their origin. While natural diamonds are extracted from the Earth through mining processes, lab grown diamonds are created in controlled laboratory environments. This ensures a more ethical, environmentally-friendly approach without compromising on the quality of the beauty of the diamond.

Here is a table representing the similarities and differences between a lab-grown diamond and a natural diamond.
Here is a table representing the similarities and differences between a lab-grown diamond and a natural diamond:
Characteristic | Lab Grown Diamond | Natural Diamond |
---|---|---|
Formation | Created under controlled laboratory environments and conditions using High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) procedures. | Formed naturally under high pressure and high temperature over billions of years in Earth’s crust and mined. |
Cost | $$ Significantly cheaper than a natural diamond | $$$$$ More expensive due to the mining procedures |
Chemical Composition | Carbon | Carbon |
Time Taken to Grow | 30-40 days | Millions of years |
Conflict Free? | Yes | No |
Hardness (Mohs) | 10 | 10 |
Creating a lab grown diamond is a marvel of modern science. Lab grown diamonds are created using either High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) processes, replicating the natural diamond-growing conditions within a controlled environment. Over several weeks, carbon atoms bond to this seed, forming a rough diamond that is later cut and polished to perfection. This method ensures each diamond is crafted with precision, resulting in stunning, high-quality diamonds.
Lab grown diamonds represent a commitment to a more kind, ethical, and carbon-neutral future. Traditional diamond mining can have devastating environmental and social impacts, including habitat destruction, soil erosion, increased water usage, human rights issues, and more. In contrast, lab grown diamonds are produced with a minimal ecological footprint and are 100% conflict-free. By choosing us, you are supporting a friendlier transformation—one where luxury and responsibility go hand in hand.
Our passion for elevating to a more transparent, sustainable, benevolent, and all-inclusive jewellery industry is parallel to none. At Friendly Diamonds, we are dedicated to achieving carbon neutrality, recognizing the urgency of addressing climate change. We are actively trying to source our lab grown diamonds from facilities that are powered by renewable energy. By meticulously monitoring our carbon footprint and advocating for sustainable practices, we strive to lead by example and inspire others to join us in fostering a friendlier horizon.
At Friendly Diamonds, our journey towards a sustainable future is driven by our dedication towards a positive change. We invite you to explore our collections of ethically-sourced, unique, and exquisite jewellery. Together, let’s advocate not just for beauty, but for the betterment of our planet and a friendlier tomorrow.
