Lab-grown Diamonds
Pandora's lab-grown diamonds are created using advanced technology. Identical to mined diamonds in every way, they offer exceptional quality, a known origin and a significantly lower environmental footprint.
Recreating the brilliance of nature, above ground
Lab-grown diamonds are crafted above ground with cutting-edge innovation to still bring the brilliance of nature. Each stone is optically, chemically, thermally and physically identical to a mined diamond, with a known origin and exceptional quality. They are individually grown and finished to exacting standards with remarkable cut, colour and clarity - delivering the same sparkle and strength as a natural diamond but without the environmental impact of traditional mining.
What is a lab-grown diamond?
A lab-grown diamond is a diamond made from pure carbon, formed under conditions that replicate the natural diamond-growing process. Grown in a laboratory rather than mined from the earth, it shares the same physical properties, durability and brilliance as a mined diamond - just created above ground.
Making a lab-grown diamond
From a tiny diamond seed to a finished stone, each lab-grown diamond follows a precise, carefully monitored journey powered by innovation and renewable energy. Using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technology, a rough diamond is grown in a laboratory and then cut and polished using the same techniques as mined diamonds. The result is a diamond that is identical in structure and appearance - just created above ground, with a known origin.
Powered by renewable electricity, crafted from recycled metals
Pandora's Lab-Grown diamonds are grown, cut and polished using 100% renewable electricity. They are set in jewellery crafted with 100% recycled silver and gold (1) - helping to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of our collections while maintaining the highest quality standards.
As a result, a finished white Pandora Lab-Grown Diamond has roughly 9.17 kg of carbon emissions per cut and polished carat. This means its carbon footprint is around 95% lower than that of a mined diamond of the same size.
For further context, the carbon footprint of one of our (Infinite) flagship products, a gold ring with a 1 carat diamond, is just 11.4 kg, which is similar to a pair of jeans.
(1) Since August 2022, all Pandora Lab-Grown Diamonds have been grown, cut and polished using only renewable electricity and set in jewellery crafted from 100% recycled silver and gold. Select Pandora Infinite pieces crafted prior to this date were set with lab-grown diamonds grown using more than 60% renewable electricity on average and set in a mix of recycled and non-recycled silver and gold. Remaining inventory of these pieces are still available at certain locations.
Exceptional quality with known origin
Each Pandora Lab-Grown diamond is individually grown and finished to exacting standards for cut, colour and clarity. We know the origin of our stones - bringing improved traceability and quality consistency to diamond craftsmanship.
All suppliers of Pandora Lab-Grown Diamonds take part in our Responsible Sourcing Programme, which ensures that they adhere to strict ethical, social, and environmental requirements outlined in our policies.
Diamonds for all who love
Pandora Lab Grown Diamonds radiate beauty from every facet. Our skilled artisans carefully grow, examine, cut and polish the stones to unleash maximum brilliance while honouring Pandora's exacting quality and craftsmanship standards. Each diamond is then hand-set into designs rich with meaning, creating lab-grown diamond jewellery to wear today, and forever.
A shift to man-made stones
Since 2021, Pandora has exclusively sourced lab-grown diamonds and other man-made stones. This shift reflects our ambition to reduce environmental impact, support responsible sourcing and expand the use of innovative, lower-carbon materials across our jewellery collections.
