Why choose Lab Diamonds?
Lab diamond engagement rings, as the name implies, are produced in a lab through the use of extremely high temperatures and pressure conditions that occur in the earth’s crust where natural diamonds form. But are Lab grown diamonds real diamonds? Possessing the same sparkle, brilliance, and fire, you receive the highest quality provided in a natural diamond. With no noticeable differences between natural and lab diamonds, it can be impossible to distinguish between the two. These ethical diamonds can be considered more desirable than natural diamonds as they are free from flaws and impurities that are acquired in the formation and mining of natural diamonds. Up to 40% more cost effective than mined diamonds, paired with a more ethical background – lab diamonds are just as luxurious, dazzling and durable. Opting for lab diamonds means that dreaming big can become a reality. As pictured below, Lily Arkwrights ‘Coco’ ring in the sizes of 1.75ct, 2.52ct and 3.55ct, the possibilities are endless!
Lily Arkwright only sources and sets IGI and GIA Certified lab diamonds so you can be rest assured that your diamond has been expertly crafted and meets your specific requirements.
Why choose Moissanite?
Extremely rare in nature and unique with original chemical and optical properties, moissanite was originally discovered in a meteorite crater. Its lab grown formation takes place under controlled laboratory conditions through innovative thermal growing processes, enabling its use for engagement rings and other fine jewellery.
Moissanite engagement rings are an amazing diamond alternative. Ever so slightly brighter and more reflective, their stunning visual appearance is perfect for brides desiring an eco-friendly option. In terms of hardness, moissanite scores only slightly lower than a diamond at 9.25-9.5 on the Mohs scale, making it both a durable and perfect choice for everyday wear.
Lily Arkwright specialises in moissanite gems. Their rings can be set in either Charles & Colvard Forever One Moissanite or with their own branded Lily Arkwright Moissanite. With decades of experience, Charles & Colvard are leading producers wHO develop gemstones with astonishing clarity, which are rated from ‘internally flawless’ to ‘very slightly included’ range. Using a unique patented process to grow each moissanite, Forever One by Charles & Colvard possesses impeccable colour-ten times whiter than standard moissanite-exceptional cut and clarity, creating a gemstone with exceptional beauty and sparkle. However, they also provide their own Lily Arkwright moissanite, which is a gorgeous option that won’t hurt your wallet! Just look how gorgeous the Lily Arkwright ‘Allure’ moissanite ring looks below.

Lily Arkwright is proud to be able to produce vividly colouredl, ethical and sustainable pieces without any of the harmful effects of mining.
