Getting engaged. It’s one of the most exciting and emotional milestones in our lives.
The suspense and secrecy around popping the question means there are a lot of important decisions to be made before even getting down on one knee.
It can feel like quite the tall order to pick the right ring to symbolise your love since there’s so much to consider: Do you go bespoke with the design? Where do you find the right jeweller? And more recently, where has the all-important jewel come from?
Diamonds have long been associated with the happiest times in people’s lives. Though, in recent years, the jewellery industry has been revolutionized with the introduction of lab-grown diamonds.
As people shop smarter, they are increasingly becoming the jewel that everyone wants to know about.
Modern luxury jeweller Fenton introduced Solar Diamonds to the market as a fully sustainable diamond that offers the best price, quality, and responsible sourcing. And the best part? They’re made using sunlight!
Following their launch, customers would often admit they’re impressed, with Emily from the Concierge team saying:
‘A lot of curious clients are coming in to see our Solar Diamonds expecting to notice differences between them and mined diamonds. I’m constantly being told once they see them in person that they literally cannot tell them apart after all!’
Here’s all you need to know about Solar Diamonds, and why they should be high on your list…
So… what exactly are Solar Diamonds?
Solar Diamonds are grown using energy from the sun. They’re fully eco-friendly, renewable, and sustainable, unlike other lab-grown diamonds.
According to Fenton, only an estimated five per cent of lab-grown diamonds use clean and renewable energy, others still use fossil fuel which makes it impossible to justify if you’re looking to invest in an eco-conscious jewel.
As Fenton only sources diamonds that are grown using solar power, they are one of the first and only jewellers today that can offer a totally sustainable and responsible alternative to mined diamonds.
Can you tell the difference?
If it’s not a mined diamond, is it still a diamond?
Yes, Solar Diamonds are real diamonds, chemically identical with the same composition, hardness, sparkle, and brilliance, and are officially recognised diamonds by the Gemological Institute of America.
With each diamond that is created, they are measured with the same four C’s – cut, clarity, carat and colour.
Each Solar Diamond is inspected by a member of the Fenton team to ensure their high-quality standards are met.
How much are they?
At fraction of the cost of mined diamonds, you get all of the benefits of a gorgeous jewel with Solar Diamonds.
It’s said that cost is the fifth of the four ‘C’ when it comes to picking a diamond so if you’re feeling the pinch, you want a way of getting better value without compromising on quality.
If you compare a one-carat diamond, a Solar Diamond would start from £2,500 while a mined diamond would exceed £5,500 in today’s market.
You can also make the ring your own with Fenton with their useful customisation tools. Choose your ideal metal, ring style, carat weight and cut to create your dream ring all whilst having the price update automatically.
Why are they a more responsible choice?
Opting for a Solar Diamond is not only a more eco-friendly choice, but a more ethically transparent one.
The jewellery industry has a long, murky past that is linked back to exploitation and it’s difficult to discover the true origins of mined diamonds because they change hands so many times before even reaching the UK.
With Solar Diamonds, you know exactly where they have come from.
