The rise of gender neutral lab grown diamond earrings

The times have changed and so has the fashion world. One of the most refreshing shifts is the rise of gender neutral lab grown diamond earrings. Jewellery that was once seen as “only for women” is now being embraced just as confidently by men. This change is not just about fashion; it reflects new thinking, new values, and a new openness in society. 

A New Era: Beyond Traditional Boundaries

Perhaps you’ve noticed that a decade ago, when the men’s jewellery world opened up, that the pieces wore were from a totally separate collection than the ladies. But our designers knew how to bring the best of both the worlds and come up with pieces that everyone can relate to. Now both international and national brands are coming up with such subtle designs like lab grown diamond studs, hoops, drops, and huggies that can be styled by both men and women. The settings of these pieces are done in such a way that they can be carried from day to night, from office to a date, from women to men, that too, effortlessly.

Driving Forces Behind the Trend

You might wonder, what changed in all these years that led to the beginning of this new era. 

Inclusivity : Gen Z and Millennials are known for challenging year old norms, and they don’t want to live in a box. They want jewelleries that can speak for them, that can express their unique identity. And brands are responding to their demands with customizable and classic pieces like lab grown diamond studs that look great on everyone. 

Celebrity & Social Media Influence : Social Media plays a big role in our lives. We often see people we admire and try to do things their way. And while scrolling Instagram or Facebook, famous Bollywood and Hollywood faces are often seen styling gender neutral lab earrings or stacks and setting a statement.

Ethics and Sustainability: Now the question still remains, why lab grown diamonds? Because it is a much more sustainable and ethical choice! Since these diamonds are made in the controlled environment of a lab, they don’t cause the same damage as the mined diamonds. So you can shine just the same while keeping your ethics.

Celebrity Endorsements & Pop Culture Shifts

Signature Styles and Everyday Appeal

Coloured Diamonds & Mixed Metals : Now if you want to add a little bit of personal touch, pick a colour and metal of your choice and customize accordingly or get one that’s readily available.

Innovative Design and Technology

Technology has progressed a lot. Science has gifted human kind the same shine as the mined diamonds but in a much sustainable way. Lab grown diamonds leave about 99% less carbon emissions compared to mined stones and use much less water too. And neither do they cause mining damages like deforestation, soil erosion, habitat destruction, or displacement of communities. 

And since the lab grown diamonds are created in bulk in a lab in a much sustainable manner, the availability has increased and the prices are about only 10% of the mined ones, thus making it much more accessible. It gives the designers and brands the chance to push their creative boundaries and come up with such exquisite and unique designs that can be carried by both men and women. 

Technology has also made customization so much easier, because it lets us choose the carat size, diamond colour and metals not just by imagination but by creating a 3-D model of it.  

Everyday Wearability & Versatility

Gender-neutral lab grown diamond earrings are not just for certain occasions or days, the designs are such that they can be carried every single day, regardless of your gender or where you are going. These pieces aren’t a trend but are classic and timeless. Simple studs or huggies can go a long way and are easy to style and can work for office, casual settings and festive occasions. They aren’t just gender-wise versatile but occasion-wise too.
