Clarity, setting and carats are all the usual terms flung around but there’s one more, newer term to add into the mix - lab grown versus natural.
Lab grown diamonds are the same as natural ones in every way but one: where they originate from.
This simple difference is a huge benefit because a lab-created diamond allows you to get a bigger diamond for a more affordable price.
They typically cost 30-50 per cent less than an earth-mined diamond because the manufacturing process cuts out lengthy supply chains and eliminates expensive mining costs.
Lab-created diamonds are also conflict-free and eco-friendly - in that they are not dug out or mined from the earth.
Here in Australia, Temple & Grace has the largest range of certified lab grown diamonds - perfect for engagement rings or that super special gift.
With five jewellery boutiques, one each in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, you can go in for a fitting or shop online where, if you find a price lower than Temple & Grace, for the same diamond size, cut and clarity, they promise to beat the price by five per cent.
Temple & Grace claims to be the only Australian jewellers which offers unlimited remakes and re-sizes on your ring.
It means that if your perfect partner doesn’t love the lab grown diamond shape or size you’ve chosen, you can have it altered for free.
The five-star reviews speak for themselves, with loved up fiancees giving sparkling praise to the beautiful pieces they’ve received.
