bling. diamonds: ethical, sustainable and affordable

How everything began

"A diamond which does good in the world instead of harming it"

The bling. story began in late 2019, when I was searching for a diamond engagement ring, but realized that buying natural diamonds potentially funds unethical labour practices and toxic emissions. It is still impossible to be 100% sure that a natural diamond is not a blood diamond.

As a physicist, I then searched for alternatives and thus, in 2020, the first bling. lab-grown diamond was born.

Our Idea

After a successful proposal with Hera in 2021 and our blissful union, we have created bling. together to give access to beautiful diamonds to everyone with a clear conscience. We avoid all the associations with land destruction and unethical practices, but instead invest in climate protection und humanitarian projects, which help local communities that were hurt by the natural diamond industry.

Unlike zirkonias and other simulants, lab-grown diamonds are the exact same gem stone as natural diamonds from a physical and chemical standpoint, even down to the atom. The only difference lies in the way we access the stones. Natural diamonds are often associated with pollution, human rights violation and the destruction of entire ecosystems, not to mention so-called "blood diamonds". The solution: Our lab-grown diamonds are created with modern technology exclusively for you as your very own symbol of love and eternity.
