This Lab-Grown Diamond Necklace Is My Favorite Piece of Jewelry
Diamonds sketch our journeys in matters of the heart, from our reveries surrounding childhood crushes to lifelong commitments sealed with an engagement ring. As self-actualized adults, we can also take ownership of our own stories, embracing all forms of love—including loving ourselves.
That’s why, inspired by Pandora I’m no longer waiting for a big moment—I’m treating myself to a necklace from their lab-grown collection. Meet my newest obsession: the Bezel Diamond Station necklace. It’s made of five lab-grown diamonds, each 0.10 carat, adding up to a dazzling total of half a carat. And it exudes sleek elegance, with artfully designed cutouts that playfully dance with the light. An adjustable two-length hook adds both charm and versatility.
This necklace seamlessly adapts to my every style decision, transitioning easily from casual sweaters and jeans to my go-to WFH ensemble of sweatpants and a cozy hoodie. As night falls, it artfully takes on glamour as well, whether paired with my favorite charm necklace for a bold statement, or with an initial pendant for a more understated effect. What I love most is that this piece never forces me to compromise my signature style one bit. It stands out for more than just being eye-catching: Pandora’s lab-grown diamonds rival the quality of mined ones without the high price tag. At a mere $1,200 for jewels that look this good— that’s a definite win.
So while lackluster romances fade, if you’re up for making a lasting commitment to yourself—on Valentine’s Day or any day—this sparkler promises to be with you through thick and thin, forever and ever.
