Lab Grown is becoming increasingly popular as a sustainable alternative as the gemstones are made, not mined. This heavily reduces the impact on the earth. Lab Grown also gives us more control over the finish of the gemstone as we aren't competing with naturally occurring environmental factors (i.e. things that create flaws in mined stones).
Here at House of Felix we encourage you to do your research. We pride our selves on quality and value to ensure you are receiving a product you fall in love with.
