The Diamond Lab’s debut will showcase loose lab-grown diamonds and jewellery creations across three collections retailing between £375-£350,000, including the limited-edition Selfridges Yellow Diamond line. The alluring yellow lab-grown diamond stones represent the iconic department store will be suspended on twin transparent bands signifying the invisible threads which connect us all, made of either 18 karat white or yellow gold.
Every piece of jewellery from The Diamond Lab is designed with lab-created diamonds rather than earth-sourced ones, fusing science with luxury; the only difference is the origin. Diamonds from above the ground can now be obtained while avoiding the high environmental tag.

Customers will also be invited to join jewellery design workshops so they can create custom LAB100 jewellery from The Diamond Lab with intention to create a bond with its customers. The LAB100 bracelets have a simple aesthetic and each one has a handcrafted lab-grown diamond strung on clear thread to represent industry’s transparency and the brand’s commitment to educating consumers on mindful stones and sustainable practices of jewellery making.
