WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE SOURCING?
The environmental impact of lab-grown diamonds is already far less than that of mined diamonds. By collaborating with producers who employ sustainable techniques and renewable energy sources throughout their production process, we go above and beyond.
We think that everyone working in the diamond industry should be treated ethically. We get our products from labs that follow tight labour laws, guaranteeing fair pay, secure working environments, and the absence of child labour.
We offer comprehensive details regarding the provenance and cultivation method of every diamond we utilise, providing you with comfort and enabling you to rejoice in your deliberate decision.
OUR COMMITMENT TO RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
We exclusively collaborate with lab-grown diamond growers who hold certification from independent agencies such as SCS Global Services and the International Grown Diamond Association (IGDA). The highest ethical and environmental standards are guaranteed to be followed by those holding these certifications.
We go above and beyond the requirements, even though we guarantee that none of our diamonds originate from conflict. We actively look for diamonds produced in facilities that place a high value on social responsibility and sustainability.
We support making knowledgeable decisions. For every diamond we sell, we offer comprehensive details regarding its origin, growing process, and any applied treatments. With Klara Allen, you'll always know precisely what you're receiving.
An Overview of Various Stones
These stunning creations, made in specialised laboratories, have a distinct twist and all the stunning characteristics of their naturally mined counterparts. Think of science as an expert sculptor who uses exacting methods to mould carbon atoms into diamonds. These stones are created under meticulously regulated circumstances that mimic the heat and pressure of the earth, but considerably more quickly.
In a matter of weeks rather than millions of years, this corresponds to dazzling rough diamonds. The durability and brilliance of lab-grown diamonds equals that of mined diamonds. They have the same striking hardness, the same fire, and the same spectrum of hues and sizes. As a matter of fact, it takes a skilled eye to distinguish between them! Compared to typical mining, the creation of these diamonds requires a great deal less energy.
Moissanite, discovered in 1893 within a meteorite crater by scientist Henri Moissan, was initially mistaken for diamond due to its outstanding brilliance and durability. Today, it is predominantly cultivated in laboratories, offering a socially responsible and environmentally friendly alternative to mined diamonds. Distinct from diamonds, moissanite is composed of silicon carbide, boasting remarkable hardness (9.5 on the Mohs scale) and a higher refractive index (2.65-2.69). This results in a dazzling display of brilliance with fiery rainbow flashes, often described as a "disco ball" effect.
Moissanite presents several compelling advantages over traditional diamonds, including exceptional brilliance, durability suitable for everyday wear, social responsibility, and eco-friendliness due to lab-grown production. Moreover, it is cost-effective, making it an attractive option for those seeking larger stones or budget-conscious alternatives. Moissanite's celestial origins, unique brilliance, and responsible production combine to create a truly captivating gemstone, suitable for both personal collections and as a socially conscious statement piece.
Diamonds, symbols of love and luxury, are formed deep within the Earth from carbon under extreme conditions. Mined from locations like South Africa, Botswana, and Canada, or industrially produced in Australia, diamonds play a role in various applications worldwide. They undergo a journey from mining to processing in countries like the USA, India, and China, where they are crafted into beautiful jewelry.
However, behind the sparkle lies an environmental and ethical concern. Mined diamonds contribute to deforestation, water pollution, and high carbon emissions. Miners often endure dangerous conditions, exploitation, and some gems may even be associated with conflict and violence. Klara Allen advocates for an alternative: lab-grown diamonds. These gems, created in controlled labs, possess the brilliance of mined diamonds without the environmental and ethical drawbacks. Choosing lab-grown diamonds reflects a commitment to a world where luxury aligns with compassion and responsibility.

LABOUR ETHICS
When it comes to lab-grown diamonds, our ethical labor practices are just as important as they are for mined diamonds. Our ethical labor practices for lab-grown diamonds ensure that workers are treated fairly and with respect and that they are not exploited. This involves providing a safe and healthy work environment, fair wages, and benefits, and protecting workers' rights to form unions and negotiate for better working conditions. In addition, child labor is not used in the production of lab-grown diamonds and we ensure that workers are not subjected to any form of discrimination based on their gender, race, religion, or nationality.
