Solar Diamond Toi Et Moi Emerald Blue Sapphire 18K Yellow Gold Ring

Solar Diamonds and lab grown diamonds are both created in a laboratory setting using either intense pressure or intense heat to create a diamond in a matter of days and months, rather than over years and years.

The key difference is that whilst most lab diamonds do not necessarily disclose the source of energy they use, with Solar Diamonds you can be assured that your diamond was grown using only fully sustainable and renewable energy sources.

We believe that lab-grown diamonds from a preferred provenance and limited supply, such as Solar Diamonds, will prove a better source of retained value than the majority of lab grown diamonds in years to come.

Apart from their provenance, Solar Diamonds are identical to natural diamonds to the naked eye.

Unlike natural gemstones and diamonds, Solar Diamonds are created using a scientific process under laboratory conditions that is powered by solar energy and sunlight rather than being mined from the earth.

This has various different advantages and disadvantages in terms of responsible sourcing. Whilst Solar Diamonds have no carbon footprint and do not disturb the environment, they also do not create the same local beneficiation that natural gemstones and diamonds do in the communities that make a living from sourcing them.

At Fenton we will continue to offer responsibly sourced natural gemstones and diamonds that meet our rigorous standards for ethical production. We recognise that there is a place for both man-made and natural jewels in the industry as we look forward and are committed to bringing customers the best within each category so they can make informed and conscientious decisions.
