We know diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but does it matter if they are lab grown? There are many things to take into consideration when buying an engagement ring, but this is a decision you might not know a lot about: lab-grown diamonds vs. natural diamonds. We spoke with Clean Origin to find out just what the difference is and most importantly, why someone would consider them for an engagement ring. Read on to learn all about lab-grown diamonds and how they are actually better for the environment.

 

 

What is the difference between lab-grown and natural diamonds?

The only difference between lab-grown and natural diamonds is their origin. Natural diamonds are mined from the earth while lab-grown diamonds are created in a lab. Lab-grown diamonds use technology that replicates the heat and pressure that natural diamonds experience deep within the earth.

 

How are lab-grown diamonds created?

There are two processes that can create lab-grown diamonds: High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).  An HPHT diamond starts as a small diamond seed that’s placed into carbon. Then, the seed is exposed to 1.5 million pounds per square inch of pressure and 1500 degrees Celsius of heat. The pure carbon melts and starts to form a diamond around the starter seed.  Once cooled, a pure carbon diamond remains. CVD diamonds begin as a thin slice of diamond seed, often produced from an HPHT diamond. The diamond seed is placed into a sealed chamber and heated to 800 degrees Celsius. Then, the chamber is filled with a carbon-rich gas like methane. Using technology similar to that of microwaves or lasers, the gasses are ionized into plasma, creating pure carbon. That carbon bonds with the diamond seed and slowly crystallizes to form a lab-grown diamond.

 

What are the benefits of buying a lab-grown over a natural diamond?

Lab-grown diamonds are an ethical and environmentally responsible alternative to natural diamonds. According to a report from Frost and Sullivan, every carat of a natural diamond that is mined disrupts nearly 100 square feet of land and creates almost 6000 pounds of mineral waste. Mined diamonds also result in 1 injury per 1,000 workers annually while lab-grown diamonds result in zero. Lab-grown diamonds are also competitively priced; you can purchase a lab-grown diamond for 20-30% of the cost of its mined diamond counterpart.

 

How to Have a Sustainable Wedding

 

Can anyone tell the difference between lab-grown diamonds and natural?

No, lab-grown and natural diamonds appear exactly the same. They’re made using different processes, but each process produces the exact same result. Even trained professionals can’t tell the difference between a lab-grown and natural diamond with only the naked eye.

 

Does the value of lab-grown and natural diamonds differ?

Lab-grown diamonds are 20-30% less expensive than natural diamonds. This is because lab-grown diamonds have a shorter supply chain. With a lab-grown diamond, you can have the signature diamond sparkle at a competitive price.

 

What is the difference between lab-grown diamonds and diamond simulants?

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds while diamond simulants only look like diamonds.  Diamond simulants can be any material that’s made to appear like a diamond to the naked eye.  A common diamond simulant is a cubic zirconia; it may look like a diamond, but has very different characteristics from the real thing.

 

Are lab-grown diamonds suitable for an engagement ring?

Lab-grown diamonds are perfect for engagement rings. Because lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, they have the same strength and sparkle as traditional mined diamonds. The competitive pricing of lab-grown diamonds makes it possible to craft a stunning ring that’s within your budget. Lab-grown diamonds are an ethical option that gives you and your partner peace of mind through all of life’s special moments.

Something borrowed, something BREWED?! There is nothing new about coffee carts making an appearance at weddings. We have seen this for a while now, but what’s new is that it is no longer considered a trend, but a NECESSITY. At this point in your wedding planning process, you have probably considered what type of refreshments you would like to supply your guests to sip on throughout the evening. Nightowl Coffee, Olive Coffee Cart. Moliendo Coffee Co, MVP Coffee Company and Café de Miele are here to tell you why you NEED coffee at your wedding, bridal shower or any event. As if it isn’t already hard enough to turn down a lavender latte on a typical day…try saying no when a craft coffee bar is set up right next to the dance floor. We asked our coffee cart vendors the same question: “why is coffee no longer a trend, but a necessity?” Read on to hear why a wedding coffee bar is a must-have for your upcoming wedding.

Is coffee expected at wedding receptions?

Short answer is yes. “No longer do brides settle for mediocre coffee with sugar packets and stir sticks. Craft coffee not only tastes better, but it creates a customizable experience for each person that comes through the baristas’ line. It is more than a memorable experience where you can’t get married without an espresso bar service,” Nightowl Coffee says.

 

Okay, but why choose a coffee bar over setting out a carafe?

 

It helps create the wedding “experience.”

As the specialty coffee industry grows, the status quo of a classic coffee urn is no longer enough. Coffee carts have become a unique way for wedding guests to explore specialty coffee in a way that may not be possible in a traditional coffee shop. It allows them to take the pressure off ordering the wrong thing and just have fun with the experience of trying something new.  It is the best of customer service combined with a wide variety of drink options available from creative specialty lattes to traditional espresso-based drinks. It is a treat that meets people where they are whether they drink coffee for the caffeine buzz or are truly a coffee aficionado.

 

It’s serves as another station for guest flow.

“Coffee is a necessity at a wedding because it provides another point of service for your guests!” Olive Coffee Cart makes a great point! Having a floor plan that allows your guests to mingle, dine and dance easily is a key factor when laying out your floor plan. Similarly, you want food, drink and experiential stations that reflect this intent as well. Stations break up larger lines and create moments for guests to move throughout your space and event.

 

It serves as an alternative for those who are not partaking in alcohol.

“The ability to have a crafted and made-to-order latte, cold brew, or hot cup is a GAME CHANGER! We have seen people who aren’t partaking in alcohol, or weddings that don’t provide a beverage service absolutely love coffee,” says Olive Coffee Cart. “It also goes great with the cake, keeps people on the dance floor, or helps to sober em’ up before their party bus home! We haven’t met a person who hasn’t enjoyed a cup at the end of the night!”

 

How much coffee is needed for a wedding?

The good thing about booking a wedding coffee cart is you don’t have to worry about ordering the right amount of coffee (or cups, sugar packets, stir sticks, etc)! Coffee carts like the one offered by Moliendo Coffee Co typically offer a bottomless espresso bar and unlimited supply of hot and iced drinks from reception to send-off.

 

When is the best time to serve coffee at your wedding?

Another tick in the pro column, coffee stations are available for the entire length of your wedding. That’s right—start to finish. Nightowl Coffee  offers an unlimited coffee bar experience from post-ceremony (cocktail-hour) to send-off. To top it off, they polish off every couple’s exit with “lattes in the limo.”

 

What are a few ways a couple can customize their coffee to make it reflect their relationship or event?

Coffee bars like Nightowl Coffee elevate the appearance and experience of standard coffee stations and match the aesthetic of every couple’s design style. Couples can add a custom bar or branded cups to the wedding package for an even more personalized touch. Others may have a standard cart display but offer signature lattes and/or custom menus to reflect your event or tastes.

 

For a seasonal touch, Nightowl Coffee can even customize flavors and products: “From honey lavender, mint julep, and apple pie in the spring to pumpkin spice, cinnamon pecan, and maple bourbon in fall, our seasonal rotation of house-made syrups give brides the ability to enjoy their favorite flavors in each season. Just don’t forget about those Texas summers, where cold brew and iced lattes always steal the show.”

You know we love any excuse to throw a brunch with our North Texas wedding community! So to say celebrating our Brides of North Texas Spring/Summer 2022 magazine release was highly anticipated would be an understatement! Hosted by Bingham House, this soiree was sprinkled throughout the venue’s house, courtyard and event hall creating a roomy and spacious experience. When entering the event hall, you were greeted by Satin Pavement’s beautiful geometric backdrop and the urge to get moving to DJ Adam Morgan’s tunes. While each guest wandered about the historic event space, they had an abundance of savory or sweet snacks and drinks to choose from provided by Vestals Catering. We know that sweet treats are popular, so Katrina Makes Cakes and Girl’s Who Twirl Cotton Candy catered to all the people that joined us who have an especially strong sweet tooth! A hot, frothy latte to warm us up was exactly what we all needed from Nightowl Coffee Cart on that chilly February day. While grazing on all the tasty nibbles, eyes were naturally drawn to the bright centerpieces by Blissful Wedding and Events laying atop Posh Couture Rentals’ perfectly matched watercolor linen table cloths. To tie the indoor and outdoor seating altogether, Loot Rentals adorned the courtyard with velvet accent chairs and jute rugs, making the fresh air irresistible! We were lucky enough to have Marissa Merritt Photography capture the party so we can all relive it once more!
