Astrea London has announced the launch of two new lab-grown diamond collections, Eternal and L’Amour.
The Eternal Collection features different diamond pieces, including tennis bracelets, stud earrings, and eternity rings, designed for everyday style.
Meanwhile, the L’Amour range boasts an exclusive offering of engagement rings and men’s jewellery.
With their legitimacy confirmed by the FTC (The Official Federal Trade Commission) in 2018 as identical in properties to mined diamonds, not synthetic, all of Astrea London’s colourless diamonds are D, E and F certified.
The group’s premium stones are grown by a team of scientists using technology that mimics the natural diamond formation process, producing stones that diamond experts and gemologists are unable to tell apart from their mined counterparts.
Utilising either high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) or chemical vapour deposition (CVD) methods, using a seed of mined diamond, conditions are recreated in which the jewels form beneath the Earth’s surface, producing diamonds over two to four weeks that are identical to mined ones in terms of physical and chemical properties.
These lab grown diamonds are more affordable and completely ethically traceable.
After launching at Villa La Coste in France, Astrea will open its boutique at the 5-star Fairmont Windsor Park showcasing its collection of luxury lab-grown diamonds.
Nathalie Morrison, co-founder of Astrea, said: “We believe that even by 2035, lab-grown stones will be leading the way for exceptional jewellery. Astrea London is committed to merging classic beauty with the innovation of our time, offering pieces that reflect the values of today’s conscious consumers without compromising on style or substance.”
Claire Ferrini, co-founder of Astrea, added: “Astrea London brings a new dimension to the idea of luxury jewellery. Our customers enjoy the same stunning beauty and elegance of natural diamonds, knowing they are making a more sustainable choice.”
