The smart choice
Above ground diamonds are new age diamonds. They are “smarter” diamonds, particularly when it comes to value. LeiL diamonds are of the highest quality, created to the same exacting standards as mined diamonds, resulting in stones of exceptional quality. Above ground diamonds are made for a new age luxury market who treasure fine things yet also prioritise value.
Above ground diamonds offer the buyer immense value; they’re created with a shorter supply chain and are sold in a highly competitive market. While not necessarily “cheap”, above ground diamonds allow you to own a far higher-quality stone in comparison to purchasing a mined diamond.
Our new age diamonds are scaled using the same rating system as mined diamonds. Above ground diamonds have the same hardness, density and chemical composition as diamonds found underneath the ground.
While the above ground diamond industry is growing at an astounding rate, many people are still romanced by the allure of mined diamonds.
While whatever stone you decide to choose is a highly personal choice, the simple fact remains that purchasing above ground diamonds will allow you or your significant other access to a larger and higher-quality stone for less.
The Ethical Choice
The stone you purchase to sit within a beloved jewellery piece is often selected for a lifetime of wear. Whichever stone you settle with should be chosen, loved and cherished without the faintest trace of guilt or uncertainty about its origins.
The need for above ground diamonds has grown dramatically in recent years, due in part to an increasing awareness around conflict diamonds and a growing consumer conscience concerned with the origin of mined diamonds sold all around the world. Consumers are stepping away from mined diamonds due to their humanitarian and environmental cost.
LeiL diamonds are 100% conflict-free, and represent a more responsible choice of stone. Increased demand and the growth of the above ground diamond industry is a testament to the changing consumer perceptions around diamonds, highlighting the desire for change and the desperate need we feel to forge the foundations for a kinder world.
Our pieces are created with 100% transparency. At LeiL, we’re committed to transparency and open to discussing anything to do with our brand; from our diamonds to our processes and everything in between.
Diamonds from us straight to you, without the middleman
The Sustainable Choice
Mined diamonds use an astronomical amount of resources to source. By comparison, above the ground diamonds offer a far more sustainable choice. Diamond mining can often involve the removal of vast amounts of soil in areas so large they can be seen from space. Despite efforts being made to try to reduce the environmental impact of diamond mining, these diamonds still represent a heavy cost to the world around us.
