DISCOVER LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS.

A pear-shaped diamond draws a different line from a round brilliant. Set upright, it gives a ring an elongated silhouette; suspended from a fine chain, it becomes a small point of light at the neckline. A row of oval stones brings another rhythm to a hoop, while a close-set band keeps the effect compact. These differences in shape, spacing and proportion are where diamond jewelry becomes interesting: the stone is familiar, but the design need not be.

Laboratory-grown diamonds offer the material qualities of diamond with a different origin. Within that category, there is still a world of design to explore. We are drawn to settings that give each stone a clear role, whether that means a single focal point or an uninterrupted line of sparkle. A slim band can sit beside a sculptural gold ring; a pair of diamond hoops can bring light to an otherwise simple outfit. Choose the finished jewel, not just the stone at its center.
