Lab-Grown Stones

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Skydiamond Unveils a Revolutionary Lab-Grown Stone, 'Liquid Silver'

— December 17, 2024 — Fashion
Skydiamond, the innovative lab-grown diamond pioneer, introduces 'Liquid Silver,' a groundbreaking stone with a mesmerizing silvery-black hue that doesn’t exist in nature. Crafted using only carbon dioxide, wind, sun, and rain, this metallic marvel is an engineering feat powered entirely by renewable energy.

Developed in Gloucestershire, England, the Liquid Silver stone features a unique pooling effect, creating deeper refractions and more vibrant rainbows compared to traditional white diamonds. Using electron beam technology—similar to vintage cathode ray tube TVs -- the stone’s internal structure is subtly altered, unlocking its stunning silver-black sheen without relying on harmful radiation or chemicals.

Skydiamond’s mission is clear: to push the boundaries of sustainable innovation and redefine luxury. Already making waves with collaborations at Selfridges and Gucci Vault, this carbon-negative gem signals a bold, eco-conscious future for the diamond industry. The Liquid Silver collection will be at Skydiamond’s holiday pop-up in London until January 3rd.
