Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, they say. Through the years, diamonds have been seen as a sign of wealth and opulence by many across the world. They are, many times, used as an expression of love, gratitude, and significance among loved ones.
As many already know, diamonds are formed from carbon after many years of being compressed by the earth. These precious stones are then mined, cut, and polished to produce the sparkling stone we all love.
“No pressure, no diamonds.” – Thomas Carlyle
Now, however, not all diamonds are mined, some are grown in labs but they still come out as special and precious as mines ones.
Ada Diamonds is a sustainable jewellery brand that deals in the production of lab-grown diamonds for engagement and wedding rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and more. The company was founded by “two partners seeking true brilliance”.
After deciding to get married in 2011 and finding it hard to get laboratory-grown diamonds, husband and wife duo, Jason Payne and Lindsay Reinsmith, founded Ada Diamonds. The luxury jewellery brand is named after lady Ada Lovelace.
The brand, whose core values are hinged on quality, artistry, and integrity, was founded to help others build beautiful, meaningful diamond jewellery to show their love kindly.

All of the diamonds at Ada Diamonds have “the exact same crystal structure, chemical composition, optical properties, and physical properties as mined diamonds”. This means that it is hard to tell the difference between a mined diamond and one of Ada Diamond’s diamond.
All the rings they sell are custom and made-to-order and through their work, Ada Diamonds has taken customisation and personalisation to a whole new level. The company has a patent-pending process that allows them to grow diamonds from materials that are meaningful to their clients.

They take something that holds the best memories of their clients and turn it into a diamond that will last forever. The Lavoisier diamonds, which take about 6 months to create, are formed after the material has been broken down into its basic carbon element.
Materials such as flowers, cakes, champagne corks, photographs, favourite beverages and so on are burnt and turned, through pressure, into a diamond that will be dearer to its wearer because of the memories they hold.
