Changing the Game with Lightbox Jewelry

   

I am so excited to introduce you to my new sparkling jewelry obsession, Lightbox lab-grown diamonds. As you can spot it on me, these lab-grown diamonds were developed by a team of scientists (with over 30 years of research and development experience I might add). Did you know that lab-grown diamonds were a thing?! Well, neither did I but it’s such a cool process. Let me tell you how it works:

First, they put a tiny piece of a lab-grown diamond into a plasma reactor. Next, they heat the plasma to over 6000 degrees Fahrenheit. HOLY HOT! Then, the jewel will start to grow! After about 400 hours into the process, the stones are big enough to cut. The longer the diamond sits in the hot plasma, the bigger it grows. Lightbox scientists can also toy with the chemistry, time and temperature to make each jewel either white, blue, or pink. Cool huh?! They’re even working on creating more colors to add to the mix.

The pieces I had an opportunity to work with are the Halo Pendant in blue, as well as the Halo Earrings in blue. They are simply stunning in person. When I put them on I instantly felt classier and more sophisticated.

Every day of your life is an occasion to feel beautiful! So, some of the simplest touches, like gorgeous jewelry, can make you feel inspired! The older I get, the more I realize the importance of great accessories and jewelry is a great way to do just that. Buying high quality pieces is such a smart way to go.   

Now that you know how these lab-grown diamonds are created, let me tell you a little bit about how the pricing works at Lightbox Jewelry.

First things first, you pick your stone size. Since every jewel has the same incredible quality, the prices are set. $200 for 1/4 carat, $400 for 1/2 carat, $600 for 3/4 carat, and $800 for 1 full carat. What a simple, streamlined process, right? After selecting the size of the stone you like, you can pick your setting. The choices for the settings are sterling silver, or 10 karat gold. The silver is $100, and the gold is $200. I love how simple the pricing is. So straightforward and transparent!

These beautiful pieces are great gift ideas this fall. They are perfect for bridal showers, birthdays and just a treat yourself occasion!
