“Correcting the Common Misconceptions about Diamond Mining”
There are common misconceptions that mining is often associated with - Diamond Mining is a significantly evolved industry today. The rising awareness of the collective socio-economic and environmental footprint of diamond mines across the world is shedding a new light on the reality of diamond mining today.

We aim to clarify these misconceptions in this article.
Take a look at this video that explains the reality of diamond mining:
For more information, you are welcome to read NDC (Natural Diamond Council)'s sustainability report here.

natural diamonds vs lab-grown diamonds
We created the perfect guide to illustrate the difference between Natural and Lab-Grown Diamonds. The major misconception is that Lab-Grown Diamonds are better for the environment compared to natural diamonds - FALSE.
Modern Diamond Mining techniques are advanced in ensuring that carbon emissions are minimized and actions are taken with sustainable development as paramount. "The CVD process in creating Lab-Grown Diamonds emits 70% more carbon into the atmosphere as compared to diamond mining practices" (NDC, 2020).
