The ritual of giving a diamond engagement ring is a beautiful idea. It's a ritual that will undoubtedly continue for many generations to come, and even with all of the negative publicity that mined diamonds have received over the years, people remain committed to the tradition. This is understandable due to the sheer beauty of diamonds and the symbolism of the act.

But like with anything, when a new way to do something better emerges, we should embrace change, especially when the old way of doing something was harmful. 

We seek to embrace the positive aspects of the diamond engagement ring concept. The traditional craftsmanship of skilled goldsmiths who create luxurious engagement rings must be revered, but the simple fact is that there is a better way when it comes to diamonds. There is nothing hugely innovative about the concept of our offering, we've found a better way to do an old thing.

Because the category of lab created diamonds is still relatively unknown, we rely on thought leaders and innovators who are not afraid to be first. There is less safety in being first, and most people prefer to let others go before them. 

It is for this reason that we do everything possible to minimise risk for those gentlemen who want to opt for a less conventional man made diamond ring. We offer a 30 day money back guarantee, which gives you the chance absolutely ensure the ring is perfect for you. It can almost be seen as a trial period that allows you to make sure that the ring is perfect for your proposal.

But we urge those brave enough to be first to help us spread the word and ensure that more gentlemen are open to the idea of a lab created diamond engagement ring. Be bold, be different, be first.

As with any new ground breaking innovation, there will inevitably be naysayers. The people who for whatever their reasons, want to cling on to the old way of doing things. For a company whose business is built around natural mined diamonds, you can easily understand why they would have a huge vested interest in publicly denouncing synthetic, lab created diamonds that, at the end of the day, threaten their livelihood.

Throughout history there are hundreds of examples where this situation has played out. Whether it be the tobacco companies denying that their products caused deadly disease, or the typewriter companies that urged people to shun computers, the story of companies and people trying to halt progress for their own good are many.

Synthetic, man made diamonds offer so many benefits it is hard to see why anyone would still opt for a natural diamond, but we cannot underestimate the power of fear, which is exactly the tool favoured by natural diamond proponents to insight any gentleman in the market for an engagement ring to cower back to the safety of a natural diamond. Fear of inferiority quality, fear of social stigmas, fear of not spending enough! But when any gentleman takes the time to really consider the possibility, the downside often quickly diminishes. 

Besides the huge environmental benefits, we can't find a better or more rational argument than the fact that our stones will perform just as a natural diamond would, the quality of diamond you can obtain would barely be possible (for any normal person), and they can be supplied at a fraction of the cost of a natural diamond, not only because of the huge mining costs associated with natural diamonds, but because the natural diamond market has been tightly controlled for years in order to manifest artificial scarcity!

Of the synthetic diamonds available MADE Diamonds offer the very latest in technological progress, with stones that we are truly proud of. We are so confident in our work that we offer a 30 day money back guarantee if you're not completely 100% happy with your ring, as well as a lifetime guarantee on every stone! We hope that this continues to give gentlemen the confidence to ignore the naysayers give our man made diamond engagement rings a chance.

For any gentleman in the market for an engagement ring, we know the feeling of pressure and intimidation can be intense. After all, how often do you make such an important purchase. You're buying something that your partner will wear for the rest of their life!

It is such a shame that most men will never even consider the possibility of a man-made diamond engagement ring due to lack of awareness and or a lack of appreciation for how far lab created diamonds have come. But every day we prove that there are gentlemen out there who seek out an alternative to natural diamonds. This enlightened few seek out an alternative because they understand the logic that exists in lab created stones. Once you accept and appreciate the possibilities of a man made diamond, the logic almost defies belief. The beauty and quality of a flawless diamond for a fraction of the price of a natural stone is often enough to persuade any savvy and intelligent buyers who appreciate good value. The value proposition of a man made diamond just makes so much more sense, logical sense.

When you add into the mix the ethical and environmental benefits, the decision takes on a higher level of meaning and significance. Most other companies in the UK who supply lab created stones present at least some serious downside or risk. Either the stones provided are such poor quality (giving every lab created diamond a bad name), or their rings are mass produced and terrible quality. 

We feel that MADE Diamonds offer by far they greatest value synthetic diamond engagement rings available in  the UK, and every day more and more gentlemen agree. The most technologically advanced man made diamonds combined with the history and tradition of fine British craftsmanship.
