Real Talk: Frequently asked questions
Why are lab grown diamonds so popular?
The rise of lab grown diamonds isn't just a trend—it's a reflection of how modern collectors are redefining luxury. These remarkable gems share the exact chemical composition as their earth-mined siblings (yes, they're real diamonds), but they tell a different kind of story. Think of them as diamonds that capture the spirit of our time: where innovation meets intention, and consciousness pairs perfectly with beauty.
Why are they having their moment? Imagine getting the brilliant fire and timeless allure you love about diamonds, while knowing exactly where your stone comes from. Lab grown diamonds emerge from advanced facilities rather than mines, offering complete transparency in their journey from creation to your jewelry box. This modern origin story often comes with a more accessible price point, meaning you can embrace a larger stone or invest in that extra sparkle you've been dreaming of.
For the conscious collector who doesn't believe in compromising between ethics and elegance, lab grown diamonds represent something powerful: the future of fine jewelry, where technology and tradition dance together to create something truly extraordinary. Because true luxury isn't just about what we wear—it's about the choices we make and the values we celebrate.
How do I take care of my jewelry?
Your pieces are meant to be worn, loved, and lived in—but even the most enduring relationships need a little care. Think of jewelry maintenance as a ritual, not a chore. Like your morning skincare routine or that perfect cup of coffee, it's those small, intentional moments that make all the difference. Here's a simple rule: take off your pieces before swimming, working out, or tackling that DIY project you've been planning. When it's time to tuck your jewelry away, treat each piece like the individual star it is—give them their own cozy spots to rest, especially our sterling silver and vermeil pieces, which can be a bit sensitive to the elements.
Keeping your jewelry luminous is surprisingly simple—regular gentle buffing with a polishing cloth maintains their natural radiance, while occasional deep cleaning helps remove life's little traces. Just remember to ensure each piece is completely dry before storing it away, like letting your hair air dry before styling. A little love goes a long way in keeping your jewelry collection as brilliant as the day you first fell for it.
