When selecting jewelry for milestone moments like engagement rings or wedding bands, the choice of metal is as crucial as the design itself. Gold remains a timeless favorite for its warmth and elegance, but not all gold is created equal.

It occurs when a gemstone displays different colors under varying light…

Laboratory Cultivation Diamond Market and Industry Trends The rise of laboratory-grown diamonds in the U.S. market has been unstoppable. The U.S. accounts for 80% of the world’s cultivated diamond market, a statistic that demonstrates its dominance in this field. In recent years, as technology continues to advance, cultivated diamonds are virtually indistinguishable from natural diamonds in terms of quality, and comparable to natural diamonds in terms of crystal structure integrity, transparency, refractive index, and color dispersion.
