Diamonds are a girl's best friend, so goes the adage, but when the average price of a 1.0-carat diamond ranges between $4,000 to $6,000, diamonds are acquaintances at best.

But that's where Carat Heritage comes in, a newly launched Singapore brand that specialises in jewellery made with lab-grown diamonds. Here's how they're redefining the industry through sustainable craftsmanship and accessibility, ensuring that opulence can be worn even by the masses. Sustainable and affordable diamonds with no compromise to elegance.

Carat Heritage may be a new name on the scene, but founders Ashley and Belle aren't strangers to the industry. Ashley was a founder of cufflinks brand The Little Link, plus the brand is partnering with jeweller families that bring three generations of expertise. Together, they offer time-honoured craftsmanship and modern innovation to their jewellery pieces.

Part of that innovation primarily involves using lab-grown diamonds. Why choose lab-grown diamonds? It avoids the environmental impact of mining natural ones. Lab-grown diamonds are grown using the same chemical process as natural diamonds, achieving identical brilliance and durability.

Additionally, these lab-grown diamonds are sold at a more pocket-friendly price; Carat Heritage's signature 1-carat solitaire diamond studs, for example, start from $1,988. Simply put, you get diamonds that aren't just identical to natural ones but are more affordable and environmentally conscious.

Ready-to-wear and custom pieces available

Carat Heritage's debut collection features a line-up of accessorial staples. Think rings, necklaces, earrings and tennis bracelets, all adorned with lab-grown diamonds.
