As the saying goes, diamonds are forever. And with the rise of lab-grown collections, they’re more accessible than ever before—especially when it comes to Pandora’s latest innovation.
The renowned jewellery brand has expanded its Pandora Era collection with an exquisite array of melee lab-grown diamonds. The collection features groupings of smaller stones that reflect and radiate light beautifully in an array of white and yellow gold designs, from dainty rings adorned with trios of petite stones to sleek, single-stone pieces and rows of pavé.
Whether you’re looking to add a touch of elegance or make a dazzling statement, each piece can add sophistication and shine to every look. Here we show you how to stack and style with Pandora’s new collection.
What Are The Benefits Of Lab-grown Diamonds?
In the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, it’s understandable that we’re becoming more conscious of the impacts of our spending habits and the world of diamonds is no different.
Lab-grown diamonds are identical to mined diamonds, but instead of being excavated they are created in a laboratory. With the same optical, chemical, thermal and physical characteristics as their mined counterparts, lab-grown diamonds are also graded by the same standards—that is, the four “C’s” of cut, colour, clarity and carat.
Pandora Lab-Grown Diamonds are grown, cut and polished for exceptional quality to maximise radiance and sparkle, with no imperfections to the naked eye, near colourless quality and excellent cuts.
They also have a lower carbon footprint compared to mined diamonds, and, since August 2022, every piece from Pandora Lab-Grown Diamonds collections has been made with diamonds grown, cut and polished with 100 per cent renewable energy and set in jewellery crafted with 100 per cent recycled silver or gold.
How To Stack And Style Lab-grown Diamond Jewellery
Sleek, modern and timeless, the Pandora Era collection reimagines classic bezel and prong settings with a unique take. Now the range showcases melee lab-grown diamonds, which enable stacking and layering in an entirely new way.
Whether you wear it every day or for special occasions, individually or layered, the glittering collection allows you to play with size, proportion and shape to express your personal style. Pair lab-grown diamond earring studs with hoops and ear cuffs for an asymmetric look, while keeping the neckline minimal with a single lab-grown diamond necklace.
For bracelets, blend different materials and balance bold cuffs with slender bangles, while mixing metals in your ring stacks. Don’t be afraid to experiment and create a look that’s uniquely yours. Get inspired to update your jewellery wardrobe with our favourite pieces below.
