A Wren Says

There is a question that is floating around. Are lab created diamonds actually better for the environment? Lab grown diamonds are attractive to jewelry shoppers because they are less expensive, and manufacturers uphold them as a good alternative to the problems that come with mining natural diamonds. But remember, do your own research.

Verify where they produce and how. Just because an organization claims to be ecofriendly does not mean that it is. Just because an organization claims to be ethical doesn’t mean it is. It seems despite the blanket claims, the lab grown diamond industry is just like all industries. You have to do your research to make sure that you are dealing with a reputable dealer that aligns with the values you care about. If you only care about costs, the choice will be simpler for you. But if you care about sustainability, environmental protection, and social impact, look into companies before you buy.
