The response to this new collection has been remarkable, reflecting Warren James’ firm belief that a diamond is a diamond. Lab-grown diamonds are identical to mined diamonds – physically, optically, thermally, and chemically. Every piece in this collection has been carefully handpicked to ensure optimum clarity, featuring sparkling F-G rare white colour diamonds that shine with mesmerising brilliance and lustre. Choosing lab-grown diamonds doesn’t mean compromising quality or beauty; it’s an extraordinary option that showcases elegance and sophistication. What’s more, lab-grown diamonds are a more sustainable choice, requiring significantly less energy and producing minimal waste. This makes them a thoughtful, ethical alternative to traditional mined diamonds. Warren James’ lab-grown diamond collection includes standout pieces perfect for Valentine’s proposals, offering an impressive range of rings from clusters to elegant solitaire styles set on classic white or yellow gold bands. Special cuts like stunning pear and marquise shapes are brilliantly crafted and mounted on halo bands. For those seeking additional gifting ideas, the infinity necklace adorned with labgrown diamonds is a beautiful, personalised piece that symbolszes eternal love. Of course, the timeless elegance of a solitaire diamond never goes out of style. With a rich heritage spanning 45 years on the UK high street, Warren James is dedicated to providing affordable luxury and has a deep passion for crafting exquisite jewellery.
