As you can see, I’ve become fascinated with created (also called sustainable or lab grown) diamonds. They have the same chemical composition as an earth mined diamond, but made under pressure in a lab. This pendant by Vrai & Oro would be much more expensive if the 1 carat emerald cut stone it holds was traditionally mined.

As it stands, it sells for USD$1,400. It’s available in stones starting at a quarter carat for $500. There are many stone cuts from which to choose. They come with a chain measuring 16-18 inches, in 14k white gold.
