Let’s face it—when it comes to diamonds, celebrities don’t settle. They’ve got access to the world’s finest, flashiest, most outrageously expensive stones. So why are some of the most glamorous names across the globe trading in the traditional rocks for something grown in a lab?
Simple: lab-grown diamonds are stealing the spotlight, and this time, it’s for all the right reasons.
What’s Got Celebs Switching Up Their Sparkle?
If diamonds had PR reps, lab-grown diamonds just hired the best in the business. They’re not trying to “pass” as natural—they’re confidently showing up with a new vibe: high-tech, high-ethics, high-fashion.
They’re created in labs, yes. But we’re talking about labs that look more like NASA than chemistry class. These stones are grown under the same conditions that form diamonds deep within the Earth, just without the mess, mining, or moral murkiness.
The result? Real diamonds. Certified. Crystalline. Celebrity-approved.
Celebrities Who Are All-In On Lab Diamonds
Meghan Markle
The Duchess of Sussex made headlines when she wore a pair of lab-grown diamond earrings by Kimai. Elegant, minimal, and sustainable—classic Meghan.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Leo isn’t just a fan—he’s an investor. He’s one of the earliest backers of Diamond Foundry, a pioneer in lab-grown diamond production.
Emma Watson
Ethical queen Emma Watson has worn lab-grown diamonds from brands like Vrai, aligning with her stance on sustainable fashion.
Bindi Irwin
When Bindi got engaged, she said yes to a lab-grown diamond ring. For someone raised to protect the Earth, this choice wasn’t just pretty—it was personal.
Vivek Oberoi – Not Just Wearing It, Building It
Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi co-founded Solitario, a luxury brand that exclusively deals in lab-grown diamonds. He’s been actively promoting sustainable jewellery choices across media platforms and business events.
Why the Shift?
Here’s why even A-listers are switching:
1. Sustainability Is the New Luxury
Traditional diamond mining causes major environmental damage—think deforestation, carbon emissions, and tons of wasted water. Lab-grown diamonds, especially those made with renewable energy, leave a much lighter footprint.
2. Transparency is trending
Many celebs have publicly distanced themselves from industries linked to exploitation. Mined diamonds—especially those from untraceable sources—can have shady supply chains. Lab-grown options? 100% traceable, certified, and conflict-free.
3. Bigger Bling for Less
Lab-grown diamonds typically cost 30–40% less than mined diamonds. So whether you’re buying a three-carat ring or layering tennis bracelets, you’re getting more shine for your spend, without compromising on ethics.
4. They Just Look Good
Let’s be real: no one wants to wear a “woke” accessory that doesn’t slay. Lab-grown diamonds? Crisp clarity, fire, and brilliance that compete with—if not outdo—the mined ones.
From Trend to Standard
This isn’t just a niche moment. Lab-grown diamonds are showing up at the Met Gala, in engagement ring boxes, and on fashion magazine covers. And now, they’re starting to take over red carpets, wedding registries, and everyday luxury, too.

So go ahead. Sparkle smarter.
