Should You Buy A Lab Grown Diamond?

Lab grown diamonds have officially stepped out of the background. Once considered a quiet alternative, they’re now a front-runner in modern jewelry design—offering new ways to express personal style, explore bolder looks, and bring fresh energy to classic pieces.

At Worthmore Jewelers, we work with both lab grown and natural diamonds every day. And while they’re virtually identical in brilliance and quality, lab grown diamonds are opening up entirely new possibilities—especially for y’all who want your jewelry to feel contemporary, intentional, and completely your own.

So, should you buy one? If you’re looking to create something unique, expressive, and design-driven—the answer might be yes.

A New Approach to Style

Lab grown diamonds aren’t just about accessibility—they’re about design freedom.

Because they offer more flexibility in size and price, clients are using lab grown diamonds to create looks that feel fresh, personal, and distinctly modern. At Worthmore, we’ve seen a major shift toward styles that break from tradition without losing sophistication.

Some of our favorite directions include:

Sculptural Engagement Rings

Lab grown diamonds make it easier to explore elongated shapes, oversized centers, and bold proportions. Whether it’s a radiant cut in a hidden halo, a pear-shaped diamond with a curved band, or a two-stone ring with asymmetrical design, lab grown stones make those high-impact looks more achievable.

Stackable and Layered Bands

Many of our clients are building bridal stacks that evolve over time. With lab grown diamonds, you can invest in a larger engagement center stone, and still have room in your budget for a contour band, diamond guard, or a mixed-metal anniversary ring down the line.

Modern Color Play

Lab grown diamonds are also available in a range of fancy colors—including soft pinks, icy blues, and bright yellows. For those interested in non-traditional designs, colored lab diamonds are a stunning way to bring personality and depth to a piece without overpowering it.

Bridal and Beyond: Jewelry That Moves With You

While lab grown diamonds have made a major impression on the bridal world, they’re just as impactful in everyday fine jewelry. At Worthmore, we’ve worked with clients to create:

  • Minimalist diamond station necklaces with clean, modern lines

  • Bezel-set earrings with sleek, low-profile sparkle

  • Tennis bracelets and bangles in oversized carat weights that feel bold, not flashy

  • Statement pendants featuring lab grown diamonds in unexpected cuts

These pieces are designed to move with you—not just to sit in a jewelry box. They’re perfect for those who see fine jewelry as an extension of personal style, not just a symbol.

Custom Design with Creative Range

One of the most exciting parts about lab grown diamonds is what they allow in custom design.

Because they offer more size-for-budget flexibility, you’re able to prioritize design without having to scale back elsewhere. Want a split-shank band with diamond accents? A multi-stone cluster ring? A tension-set pendant with architectural edge? Lab grown diamonds give you the space to go for it.

And if you’re redesigning a piece, adding new stones, or working with a family heirloom—we can help you integrate lab grown diamonds into something fresh, meaningful, and personal.

Why Worthmore Clients Love This Direction

Lab grown diamonds align perfectly with Worthmore’s approach: forward-thinking, flexible, and never one-size-fits-all.

We’ve helped countless clients choose lab grown diamonds not just because of price, but because of what they made possible:

  • A design that felt more bold and expressive

  • A ring that allowed for growth—both in style and meaning

  • Jewelry that reflected who they are now, not just tradition

And most importantly? They didn’t have to compromise on beauty, quality, or significance.

Final Thoughts: A New Kind of Luxury

So—should you buy a lab grown diamond? If you're looking for a refined, modern way to express your style and expand your design possibilities, it’s worth exploring.

Lab grown diamonds have become a new standard in style-conscious fine jewelry—not a substitute, but an option with its own appeal and flexibility.

At Worthmore Jewelers, we’re proud to be part of that conversation. Whether you choose natural or lab grown, the most important thing is that you love what it represents—and how it looks when you wear it.
