Worcester, Massachusetts Mar 16, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Massachusetts jeweler Ilah Cibis is set to open her flagship store in Worcester this spring and will be the only jeweler in New England offering Aether Diamonds, the world's only lab-grown diamonds made entirely from reclaimed atmospheric carbon. Her jewelry and the diamonds are already available on her website at ilahjewelry.com

Lab-grown diamonds have become a popular option for people looking for affordable alternatives to mined diamonds. At prices, 40 to 60 percent less than minded diamonds, couples looking to get engaged can buy larger and better-quality stones with their budget. Lab-grown diamonds also offer the benefit of being sustainable and human rights-friendly. However, not all lab-grown diamonds are environmentally friendly. It takes large amounts of energy to grow diamonds, and considering that the majority of lab-grown diamonds are grown in China and India, a lot of that energy is coming from coal. Methane, which is carbon and hydrogen, is also the key component in growing most diamonds and is derived from fossil fuels and fracking.

Aether Diamonds have pioneered a process that removes all fossil fuels from the diamond growing process as well as recaptures CO2 emissions to be used as the raw material for diamond growth. They are literally diamonds made from air! They also use all renewable clean energy sources to power the growth process. Aether commits a portion of its profits to support other carbon capture initiatives, so that for every carat of diamond they sell 20,000 metric tons of CO2 are removed from the atmosphere. The average adult American's annual carbon footprint is 17,000 metric tons, so a one-carat diamond purchase can offset your carbon footprint for over a year. These diamonds are essentially the most beautiful carbon offsets you can buy and are the world's first carbon-negative diamonds. Learn more about these incredible stones here.
