LaBante FAQ Jewellery
Why Lab-Grown Jewelry?
At LaBante, our mission has always been rooted in compassion, sustainability, and conscious living. Just as we refuse animal by-products in our handbags and accessories, we believe beauty shouldn’t cost the planet or its people. That’s why we’re proud to launch lab-grown jewelry - an ethical, elegant alternative to mined gems.
The Transformation: Nature, Accelerated
Deep in the earth, carbon slowly turns into diamond over millions of years under heat and pressure. Lab-grown stones simply fast-track that same process inside a machine. The conditions are identical - the heat, the pressure, the carbon transformation - only now it happens in weeks instead of eons.
The result? A stone that looks, feels, and tests exactly like a natural diamond. It isn’t an imitation. It’s the same brilliance, same hardness, same sparkle - just born responsibly.
Why Lab-Grown Should Come First
As we expand into jewelry, we’d love you - our LaBante family - to consider lab diamonds before mined ones. Because the real difference isn’t in the sparkle. It’s in the story.
Instead, it’s transparency, clean energy, and integrity in every carat.

The Netflix Spotlight
If you’d like to see how the natural diamond industry operates, watch Nothing Lasts Forever on Netflix. It’s a powerful documentary that explores the myths, marketing, and human cost behind mined diamonds — and how lab-grown gems are reshaping the industry.
The LaBante Promise
For us, the choice is clear: lab-grown jewelry allows us to create timeless pieces that sparkle with integrity. Just like our vegan handbags and accessories, each item is a statement of style, sustainability, and compassion.
Whether it’s a Christmas gift, a birthday surprise, or an anniversary keepsake, we want LaBante London to be your first thought for jewelry that shines brighter in every way.
Because beauty should never come at the cost of the planet, its people, or your values.
