Why Today’s Couples Prefer Lab Grown Diamond Mangalsutras

Have you noticed all these stunning, and subtle diamond mangalsutras being worn by everyone on Instagram or in parties? And I know that the designs are so sleek that they make you want one too. But you don’t want to spend a ransom of a mangalsutra right? And that is why, you should pick lab grown diamond mangalsutras that keep the emotional connection with the tradition but bring along a hefty expense, or ethical baggage. Lab grown diamond mangalsutras have the same composition and shine as the natural diamonds, but cost only 10% of them. Since these pieces don’t cost you a big sum, they don’t have to be locked away in the lockers and you can actually wear them freely and enjoy the piece that you paid for.

Mangalsutras That Match Today’s Lifestyle

A lot might not have changed in the last one decade, but the concept and culture of marriages surely have. The time when the girls didn’t want to get married at all or wear sindoor or mangalsutra or chudas has gone, and the new brides and wives are owning up to their roles and serving absolutely stunning looks. They love to flaunt their sindoor and the prettiest mangalsutras around their neck. But these new couples aren’t going for the typical 90s mangalsutras, instead they are playing smart and picking lab grown diamond mangalsutras, and here’s why.

A Mangalsutra That Fits Real Life

The generations have changed and so have our lifestyles. Being a wife no longer means being home and taking care of the big, happy family. Today, the modern brides are running the world. Sometimes they have to be at the office, sometimes it's a zoom call, other times it's a metro ride or a pilates class or a brunch with her girls, or it can even be a date night or a puja. And the chunky 90s mangalsutra definitely can’t catch up to the fast-paced brides of this generation. But different brands, both online and offline, have come up with some of the most stunning pieces. These designs are lightweight, sleek and versatile. Whether you pair it with a white shirt and jeans or a silk saree is your choice, because these mangalsutras are so effortless to style. 

Personal Stories Over One-Size-Fits-All

The older concept was that each bride should have a mangalsutra style for them but now we believe that your mangalsutra would resonate with you, because how can you style it if you can’t relate with it to understand the piece? And to give it a more personal touch, you can always get it customised. And with lab grown diamonds, customisation has become so much easier and affordable. 

Perhaps you’re wondering about the customisation ideas. Worry not, I got you. 

• Initials:

You can get both of your initials engraved somewhere in the pendant to keep it close to your heart.

• Specific dates:

Wedding dates, or engagement dates, or the day you guys met for the first time are some of the popular engagement choices.

• Design motifs:

Pick designs that reflect something about your story, maybe how you guys met or what you guys love.

• Diamond Shape and Size

Always pick a diamond cut that resonates with you. If you are a bride who likes trendy, oval is your pick, but if you like timeless, classic pieces, go for round cut diamonds. But if you like vintage and royal touch, pick emerald cut diamonds.

• Chain and Length

Choose the length of your chain according to your comfort and style preferences. Some people might prefer shorter chains so that it can sit perfectly on the collar bone while others might prefer a longer chain that dangles freely.

Emotional Value Over Resale Value

One thing that has significantly shifted is that couples are no longer just centred on the investment value but are more focused on the emotional value of the pieces. Lab grown diamonds might not have the same resale value as mined ones, but they are okay with it, because they are buying the mangalsutras to resemble a future together and not to resell it in the future. They are buying to wear.

And the best part about lab grown diamond mangalsutras is you can carry these pieces so effortlessly and guilty-free.

• Affordable

The price range of lab grown diamond mangalsutras makes it perfect to fit right into the budgets of every couple, without hampering their finances. 

• Sustainable and Ethical:

Since lab grown diamonds are made in the lab, they don’t cause mining damages and hence are more sustainable and ethical.

• Versatile:

The designs today are very easy to style and you can always make a pick that resonates with you.

A Symbol of Modern Love

Lab grown diamond mangalsutras are a lot like modern relationships. You might ask “how?” but once you see the resemblance yourself, you’ll see how true it is.

• Consciously Chosen:

Unlike traditional marriages, where everything was blindly followed by customs and rituals, modern relationships make their own decisions and choices. And just in the same way, today, the lab grown diamond mangalsutras are consciously chosen instead of blindly followed

• Balanced between Tradition and Freedom:

Earlier, marriages were all about traditions, but today the narrative has changed and freedom is as important as traditional values. Similarly, these lab grown diamond mangalsutras carry the emotions of our traditions, while giving the brides the comfort of freedom to go take on the world.

Conclusion 

They say we respect where we come from, and never forget our roots, and I, for one, totally agree, but we should not be afraid to update from time to time. And that balance between our roots and updating with the world is why so many Gen Z and millennial couples are choosing lab grown diamond mangalsutras over traditional options.

And if you are looking for a mangalsutra too, I’d totally recommend lab grown diamond mangalsutras, because they are versatile, practical for everyday use, affordable, sustainable and can be easily customised and thus holds a very strong emotional value. It’s a true symbol of modern relationships.
