The maker of affordable trinkets will now use diamonds manufactured in laboratories, after it last year said it will stop using newly mined gold and silver. Copenhagen-based Pandora said Tuesday it will release its first collection using lab-made stones in the UK, and turn to other markets in 2022. Pandora’s lab-made diamonds are grown from carbon with more than 60% renewable energy on average, a ratio that’s set to rise to 100% next year. “They really love the fact that we make diamonds accessible to them.”The lab-made diamonds will have the same physical characteristics as mined stones, Pandora said.
