Ethically produced also known as laboratory grown diamonds are diamonds which have been created in a controlled environment. They are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. The primary difference is their origin: Mined diamonds form deep within the Earth, while Ethically produced diamonds are created using a CVD (chemical vapor deposition) process in a laboratory.

Ethically produced diamonds offer an ethical & sustainable alternative to mined diamonds. They drastically reduce the environmental impact & minimize the negative social aspects associated with diamond mining.

Yes, ethically produced diamonds are generally more affordable than mined diamonds of similar quality. Their production costs are generally lower & there is significantly more transparency within the processing of the diamonds.

Ethically produced diamonds are generally of exceptional quality & are graded using the same criteria as earth diamonds. Most Ethically produced diamonds may even exhibit superior characteristics & there is a simple reason for this. 

The manufacturing process (CVD) is such that it is literally a duplication of a section of a mined diamond. For this reason it makes significantly more sense to use an exceptional quality earth diamond slither as this will affect the end result.

Ethically produced diamonds have a significantly lower environmental impact. They require less energy, produce fewer carbon emissions, and do not involve destructive mining practices. No fossil fuels or exploitative labour practices are used in the production process.

Yes, ethically produced diamonds are considered conflict-free. They do not finance or contribute to conflicts, as is sometimes associated with mined diamonds. Paragon diamonds deal only with production facilities that utilize green energy harvested from direct sunlight.

Yes & in fact an important criteria of Paragon diamonds is that our production partners need to be carbon neutral. To date they generate more power than they need & feed the excess power back into their local communities

They support the growth of the lab-grown diamond industry, which can provide economic opportunities in research & development.

Yes, lab-grown or ethically produced diamonds are diamonds & therefore can be certified by reputable gemological laboratories, just like mined diamonds. These certificates confirm the diamond's quality and authenticity.

Yes, they most definitely are considered a more sustainable option. They have a smaller ecological footprint compared to mined diamonds.

While  & in fact our supply partners generate more power than they need & feed the excess power back into their local communities.

The mission of Paragon diamonds is to do just that.

Ensure that our diamonds are conflict free, ethically produced in carbon neutral or carbon negative facilities & adopting fair labour practices. Renewable energy sources & transparency throughout their supply chain are a key element of Paragon diamond certification.

Ethically produced diamonds do offer a more sustainable alternative to mined diamonds & as technology improves & the industry grows, they are likely to become an increasingly more important choice for consumers.
