Why lab-grown diamonds are better than mined diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds or synthetic diamonds are purer, cheaper and more sustainable than natural diamonds, so why are we still mining them? New technologies are opening the door to new hi-tech applications and a more sustainable production process. We’re destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn’t need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What can we do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we’ll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess. #PlanetA #SyntheticDiamonds #LabGrownDiamonds
