Our Founder and CEO joined to share the reality of an industry undergoing one of the most significant transformations of our century.

For more than a hundred years, diamonds were sold on the promise of scarcity. Yet according to the International Gemmological Society, diamonds are among the most common gemstones on Earth. The rarity was never simply geological; it was carefully managed.

That story has now begun to unravel.

In 2018, the FTC formally recognised that a diamond is a diamond, whether it comes from the earth or from a laboratory. Both are graded and certified by leading institutions including IGI and GIA, using the same 4Cs.

Yet lab-grown diamonds are not simply the same as their mined counterparts. They represent the natural evolution of the industry, created without mining and without the environmental and ethical concerns that have long shadowed traditional supply.

Dubai’s DMCC formally established lab-grown diamonds as a standalone industry vertical, recognising their distinct economics, supply chain and rapidly expanding role across technology as well as jewellery. The announcement came as UAE lab-grown diamond trade reached a record 76.9 million carats in 2025 — up 91.5% year on year.

This is precisely why Nathalie Morrison spoke to CNBC now. The conversation around lab-grown diamonds is no longer simply about an alternative to mined diamonds; it is about the emergence of an industry in its own right.

At , we celebrate the heritage of diamonds while embracing the technology of tomorrow. Every one of our diamonds is Type IIa, representing the top 1 -2% of quality in the world. Every stone is D–E colour with VVS+ clarity. Every diamond is cut to Hearts and Arrows optical symmetry, achieved by only the top 1% of diamonds globally, and finished to the Astrea Ideal Standard.

This is what modern luxury looks like today: considered, transparent and truly extraordinary.

Diamonds are no longer just for her. ✨

For centuries, fine jewellery was written into a single story. A story that quietly told half the world it was not for them.

That story is changing.

Today, 20% of Astrea London’s sales are pieces for men. And the number is growing. Because in this new age of expression, confidence, and freedom, men are choosing to wear jewellery the way they always could have, beautifully, boldly, and entirely their own way.

Our ambassador says it best. In a world like rugby, jewellery has never been common. Yet more and more, the men shaping culture are choosing to wear it with pride. Bracelets. Necklaces. Rings. Earrings. Pieces that mark moments, hold memories, and carry meaning.

At , we believe fine jewellery has always belonged to everyone. And we are proud to be part of a moment that finally reflects that.

Diamonds are for everyone. Beauty is for everyone. The future is for everyone.

The future of forever is here. 🩷✨

What is the price of a diamond today? 💎

The reality is that a diamond has never been an investment, despite many years of misconceptions, except perhaps in the case of exceptionally rare stones. Mined diamonds have lost 50–70% or more of their retail price on resale, sometimes from the moment you leave the shop.

Yet mined diamonds can still command a significant premium over lab-grown diamonds with comparable characteristics, even though both have the same chemical, physical and optical properties. Their origin cannot reliably be determined by the naked eye alone; specialist equipment is required. This is why I believe lab-grown diamonds increasingly reflect a more transparent market price for the diamond itself.

Take a beautiful 2-carat, D-colour, VVS+ diamond ring with excellent light performance:

An Astrea lab-grown version might cost $5,000–$8,000.
A comparable mined diamond ring of the same certification could cost around $60,000.

It isn’t $50,000 more diamond. It is the premium attached to its mined origin.

If that $60,000 mined ring resells for 50% less than its original retail price, that’s already $30,000 lost. Even in the extreme hypothetical scenario of recovering nothing on the lab-grown ring, your maximum loss is only the $5,000–$8,000 you paid, and the second-hand market for lab-grown diamonds is still developing.

Ultimately, a diamond is a beautiful gem made to be worn, loved and celebrated. Whether you choose mined or lab-grown, what matters most is understanding exactly what you are paying for, and having the freedom to choose. 💎🩷

The conversation around diamonds is quietly changing. ✨

For decades, lab-grown diamonds were something to explain, sometimes even something to defend. Today, they are something to celebrate.

At a recent lunch with our Global Creative Director , our Founder sat with women of every generation. Women who once might have chosen a mined diamond without question, now proudly wearing lab-grown, and speaking openly about why.

It is no longer only Gen Z asking for something more thoughtful. It is women in their forties, fifties, sixties, and beyond, choosing lab-grown for the reasons that matter most. Because a diamond is a diamond, as the FTC formally recognised in 2018. Because it is a fairer price. Because it is made without hurting the world we love.

The numbers tell their own story. Lab-grown diamonds have grown from 1% of the market in 2015 to more than 40% last year. 70% of engagement rings sold in the United States today are lab-grown. And the world’s most trusted publications are all speaking to the same beautiful shift.

At , we are proud to lead that chapter. Every diamond we craft is chosen from the top 1% of quality in the world. Certified by IGI, GIA, or GCAL. Cut to Hearts and Arrows precision. Set in recycled gold. Made to be lived in for a lifetime.

Lab-grown diamonds are not a passing trend. They are the natural evolution of the industry, and the natural next chapter of luxury.

The future of forever is here. 🩷
