Boho Loves: MiaDonna – ‘The Greener Diamond’ Conflict-free, Beautiful, Ethical and Affordable Diamonds

Diamonds are beautiful, there is no denying that, but do you always know where your diamonds are coming from? Now I have to admit this isn’t something I gave much thought to back when I was looking at engagement rings, however now I know more about diamond mining and the harm it can do it’s certainly something I would think about for any future diamond jewellery purchases. MiaDonna is a company I would definitely look at buying diamonds from, as they are conflict free, Eco friendly  and Support The Greener Diamond charity. Anna-Mieke the founder of the company set MiaDonna up to try and give something back to the diamond industry and offer a new alternative ‘to offer consumers beautiful, ethical and affordable fine lab-grown diamond jewellery that would help free innocent children oppressed by the active conflict diamond mining industry.’ The diamonds are beautifully cut and a fraction of the price of a mined diamond, plus you can wear them with a clear conscious.

If you’re looking for lab-grown diamonds, engagement rings, or fine bridal jewellery, look no further than MiaDonna. Handcrafted in the U.S. using recycled precious metals, lab-grown gemstones, and lab-grown diamonds, their fine jewellery is guaranteed conflict-free, crafted without negatively impacting native communities or our environment. MiaDonna is a foundation-first company and proudly gives back a minimum of 10% of their net profits from every purchase to their charity foundation, The Greener Diamond. These funds help to build educational, mentorship, agricultural, and urgent relief programs in diamond mining communities in countries such as Liberia and Sierra Leone, Africa.

Why should couples choose lab-grown diamonds over earth-mined diamonds?
Lab grown diamonds are more beautiful, ethical and affordable than any diamond we will get out of the earth. They are chemically, optically and physically identical to earth-mined diamonds, but are priced up to 40% less, and come without any environmental or humanitarian concerns. They are also guaranteed conflict-free, we can tell you exactly where your lab-grown diamond came from and how it was made. Additionally, lab-grown diamonds are graded and certified by the same laboratories that grade earth-mined diamonds, and they undergo the same criteria for certification.
