De Beers-owned Lightbox Jewelry now offers loose pink, blue, and white lab-created<br />

diamonds to its US customers.<br />

Lightbox launches loose lab-created<br />

fancy colour diamonds for consumers<br />

Lightbox Jewelry, the De Beers-owned lab-created diamond jewellery<br />

business, has launched new product category Lightbox Loose Stones,<br />

which enables consumers to purchase individual Lightbox white, pink, or<br />

blue lab-grown diamonds at its standardised price of $US800 per carat.<br />

Lightbox introduced loose stone sales following an increase in<br />

consumer demand for custom design – particularly from the female<br />

self-purchase demographic.<br />

The loose lab-grown diamonds are showcased on the website<br />

alongside one-of-a-kind finished pieces – which are designed to act<br />

as an 'inspiration board' – and a list of jewellers specialising in custom<br />

design work.<br />

Steve Coe, CEO Lightbox Jewelry, said, “From the beginning, we have<br />

had enquiries from consumers who see our lab-grown diamonds –<br />

with their unbeatable price, great quality, and range of colour – as an<br />

opportunity to explore their creativity, making something that is<br />

unique to them."<br />

He added, “We are thrilled to launch this exciting new concept that<br />

offers a simple and accessible way to create fun and affordable,<br />

custom-designed lab-grown diamond fashion jewellery using our<br />

colorful array of stones.<br />

Lightbox Loose will open up a world of possibilities for a broad range<br />

of consumers to experiment with customisation, personalisation and<br />

creative design.”<br />

The stones are available in sizes up to 2 carats, round brilliant or<br />

princess cut, via the Lightbox website. However, they are currently<br />

only available to US customers – unlike the broader Lightbox range,<br />

which ships internationally, including to Australia.<br />

The announcement explained that the “concept evolved as the<br />

company saw a growing demand from customers, particularly<br />

women self-purchasers, looking for bespoke design options.<br />

"To make the process simple and approachable, Lightbox developed<br />

a seamless online purchase and referral experience. Shoppers can<br />

easily select and buy individual Lightbox lab-grown diamonds, peruse<br />

original custom designs, and browse a vetted list of established<br />

jewelers known for their custom design work.”
