Collection: Big Diamond Jewellery Collection

Diamond certificates help authenticate a diamond’s characteristics for quality and pricing purposes and a certified diamond is very important to a consumer, because without one, is much like buying a car without a warranty.

The Ethica Diamond is certified by the both the IGI and GRI, both using international standards, and all of our lab diamonds are certified by a mixture of bodies, including IGI, GCAL, GIA.

Yes, you will be able to get a bigger carat weight if you choose moissanite over a diamond. Moissanite is a lab-created gemstone that is known for its affordability compared to diamonds, so you can typically get a larger stone for the same price as a smaller diamond. This means that if carat weight is important to you, choosing moissanite may allow you to get a bigger stone within your budget. The Ethica Diamond® is our signature gemstone, which is a premium grade D-E VVS1 independently graded moissanite and this beautiful gemstone is a lot more affordable on the larger carat options compared to diamond.

There is no specific carat size at which a diamond will look "fake." The perceived authenticity and quality of a diamond depend on various factors, including its cut, colour, clarity, how well it is set in a piece of jewellery and also how well the wearer carries it off! However, it is worth mentioning that extremely large diamonds, typically above 5 carats, may raise suspicions due to their rarity and high cost, particularly if they are natural diamonds. In the end, it is a matter of personal preference and individual perception. Bigger diamonds in jewellery are now more accessibly priced than ever before and so many people like to recreate a bespoke piece of diamond jewellery inspired from a celebrity or high profile person.

Lab diamonds are cheaper than natural ones primarily because of their production process. Natural diamonds take millions of years to form deep within the Earth's mantle and then require extensive mining operations to extract them. This entire process is time-consuming and costly, not to mention environmentally damaging.

On the other hand, lab diamonds are created in a controlled environment in a lab setting. They are grown using advanced technological processes that simulate the conditions under which natural diamonds are formed. This synthetic process allows for a more efficient and predictable production of diamonds, which reduces the overall cost of production.

It is also important to note that not all lab grown diamonds are sustainable just because they are not naturally mined. You can read more here about sustainably grown diamonds.

Additionally, lab diamonds do not require expensive mining operations, which can be harmful to the environment. This further reduces their cost compared to natural diamonds.

Overall, the combination of an optimized production process and the elimination of mining costs allows lab diamonds to be produced at a lower cost, making them more affordable for consumers.

Celebrity engagement rings can vary greatly in size, and what is considered "too big" ultimately depends on personal preferences and societal norms. Some celebrities may opt for extravagant and large engagement rings that showcase their wealth and status, while others may prefer more modest and understated designs.

In recent years, there has been a trend towards larger and more elaborate engagement rings among celebrities. However, there is no hard and fast rule about what size is considered "too big." It ultimately comes down to personal taste and what the couple deems appropriate for their relationship and lifestyle.

At Ethica, we can create a bespoke celebrity inspired engagement ring for you if you have a specific design in mind.
