Many people have become more educated on the diamond mining industry and as such, have become increasingly conscious of how the diamonds they buy are sourced. Interestingly, though there is a lot of concern about how diamonds are sourced, the demand for these precious gems has not slowed. In fact, it has only increased. This puts strain on the diamond mining industry and has the potential to make its practices even more questionable.
However, mining is no longer the only avenue to acquire diamonds. Lab created diamonds are now available. They are indistinguishable from natural diamonds to the naked eye and are as pure as natural gems, if not more so. They’re also available in many shapes and sizes. These authentic diamonds have substantial promise for the industry as they are a viable option for people concerned about the origins of the diamond they are purchasing.
