Natural vs Lab Grown Diamonds

Dublin leads the country for lab-grown diamonds, with 65% lab and 35% natural, comfortably above the national lab average of 58%.

That reflects a city where people are design-aware, price-conscious and increasingly interested in ethical sourcing and carat weight.

As a result, rings tend to match the wearer very closely, even when they didn’t see the exact piece in advance.
