LabLove:

Sustainability is the first word that comes to mind when talking about lab-grown diamonds.

LabLove, a jewelry brand that is conflict-free, ethical, and more accessible, is created out of a true love for jewelry and diamonds. But, the best thing about this brand is that it does not compromise on quality or style. Founder and CEO, Lexi Winchester says, “Quality does not need to be fragile and ‘babied’. Rather, jewelry should be worn all day, everyday and be passed down with stories to tell for future generations.”

Lab-grown diamonds are not only trending but have a very bright future as the growing favorite among jewelry consumers and Bergdorf Goodman agrees! LabLove can now be purchased at Bergdorf Goodman’s NYC flagship store– a true testament to the importance and love for lab-grown diamonds.
