    It’s worth adding a more recent perspective for anyone who finds this thread later. Lab-grown diamonds have really matured over the past year. I ordered a custom ring through Harper Tait Fine Jewellery and received an IGI certificate along with the option for international delivery. No traditional jeweller offered me the same level of transparency about the stone’s origin.
    Perhaps you weren't looking at the right jewellers ...
    Just saying...

    It's pretty obvious about a lab grown diamond's origin.
    It's in a lab.

    You really can get certificated non-blood diamonds.

    If the jeweller that you recommend is based in the UK and you are based in the UK (this is a UK based website after all) what relevance does 'international delivery ' have as a positive?

    I've looked at the website and I can't find anywhere (not saying it doesn't exist) when this company was established.
