We all love to indulge a little, or a lot, and why shouldn’t we? Enjoying life is far more important than any fad diet or trend.

However, if you want to gently shape your body to look even better than it already does in your favourite dress, jeans or power suit, there’s a shining beacon in the clothing realm that’ll do the trick – shapewear.

Yep, this line of lingerie will look great – and more importantly, feel great – no matter how hard you’ve gone on the party pies and champers.

Indeed a decent shapewear garment (commonly referred to as Spanx) can completely change the way you look and feel when you step out for any occasion, smoothing out your curves and giving you a confidence boost to boot.

And the best part? It’s totally acceptable to wear at any age.

Some of our favourite celebrities themselves are proving it – how else can they look so impeccably toned and flawless on the red carpet?

Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco, 38, certainly hasn’t shied from being vocal about her love for the form-flattering garments.

Speaking at the 2016 Golden Globes, Cuoco told InStyle: “I love Spanx. I’m all about it.”

Chrissy Teigen is frank about her love of Spanx – and we can’t blame her, she looks incredible! Image: Getty

Meanwhile, model mum-of-four Chrissy Teigen has also been candid about her love for shapewear, and how it was inspired by none other than Kim Kardashian.

“[Kim] made me feel so much better because we went to the bathroom and [Kim] had me zip you up,” she previously said in an interview. “And I was like ‘Oh my god, she has Spanx on! She’s cool. She’s normal.”

Actress Robin Wright is also a keen fan, stating in an interview: “Always! I have to wear them all the time.”

So now that we’ve established that shapewear is, in fact, absolutely acceptable to wear at any age, as well as transforming the way you look and feel in any garment, we’ve rounded up the best types and places to buy shapewear in Australia – and it can all be done online.

The best shapewear in Australia

Waist control underwear

Good old Bridget Jones was onto something here. Waist-control underwear will give you shape and cut a few inches off the belly region (depending on how tight you go).

01

Seamless Sculpting Mid Waist Brief

$62 at Skims

Kim K’s own line, Skims, is the holy grail of shapewear. The Seamless Sculpting Mid Waist Brief promises a smoother silhouette and a seam-free construction that avoids any muffin-top mishaps.

Sizes: XXS – 4X

Colours: sand, mica, clay, ochre, sienna, bronze, jasper, cocoa, espresso and onyx

Materials: 82% nylon, 18% elastane

Key features:

  • Strong compression along the tummy and waist
  • Brief back, cotton gusset and a wide crotch for added coverage
  • Interior silicone underband that prevents rolling

02

Triumph Belform Panty

$57.46 (usually $69.95) at Curvy

With a reinforced front panel and rigid stretch fabric, the Belform Panty provides a firm hold and creates a smooth silhouette. It compresses multiple zones of the body with great finesse to ensure your stomach and bottom, are well sculpted.

Sizes: 12 – 24

Materials: polyamide, elastane

Key features:

  • High-rise cut with soft stretch waistband
  • Ensures bottom and stomach are well sculpted
  • Designed to allow ease of movement while wearing

Also available at:

The ‘all over’ slip dress

This style is a two-in-one winner – investing in a decent shapewear slip dress, which sculpts your entire silhouette, is a smart choice if you want to save some dosh and look incredible to boot.

03

Nancy Ganz Women’s Body Architect Slip Dress

from $132.58 at Amazon

Australian company Nancy Ganz is dedicated solely to shapewear, and their commitment isn’t for nothing. The brand’s creation of the ‘Hip Slip’ back in the 1990s was revolutionary in modernising traditional shaping garments like girdles. Now, their Body Architect Slip Dress has evolved with the demands of our times, and we think they’ve nailed it.

Sizes: 10C – 16D

Colours: black and warm taupe

Key features:

  • Convertible strapless contour cup with built in bra for defined shape and lift
  • Zoned panels for targeted control
  • Anti-slip print around the hem to hold in place

The bodysuit

Much like the slip dress, the shapewear bodysuit is a revelation when it comes to doing (or more accurately sucking in) everything at once. Toning your body from the chest to your thighs, these puppies are your go-to wardrobe staple for when you’re gearing up to squeeze into that slip dress.

04

Spanx Suit Your Fancy Strapless Cupped Bodysuit

$219.95 at The Iconic

Australian online shopping website The Iconic houses a number of shapewear brands that’ll do the trick, including OG brand and Opera Winfrey’s personal favourite Spanx, which has well and truly nailed the body suit.

Sizes: XS – XL

Colours: very black and champagne beige

Materials: body: 51% elastane, 49% nylon; gusset: 80% nylon, 20% elastane

Key features:

  • Sculpting second-skin fit
  • Dense stretch microfibre fabric; cling-free shaping; slightly sheer under light
  • Moulded underwire bra with push-up padding

The under bra slip

For those with a slightly more voluminous bust, this variation of shapewear is perfect. With a neckline reaching below your chest and sculpting the body from the waist down, you’ll still be able to wear your favourite bra. Comfort and fashion are sometimes a tough pairing, but this style is the perfect compromise!

05

Hush Hush Essensual Firm Control Underbra Slip

$69.95 (usually $105) at The Iconic

Hush Hush is another Australian brand that knows how to make a quality piece of shapewear that’ll last you for yonks. Their seamless Essensual Firm Control Under Bra Slip is the perfect investment for the indulgent weeks ahead.

Sizes: 10 – 24

Materials: nylon, elastane

Key features:

  • Firm control
  • All over body shaping and control
  • Invisible seams

The thigh shaper

We can’t all have a derrière like Kim Kardashian, but this shapewear style can certainly give it a nudge. Smoothing out your thighs, hips, tummy and midriff, you’ll be slipping into that two-sizes-too-small frock you bought last summer in no time.

06

Ambra Powerlite High Waisted Shortie

$39.95 at Myer

Australian company Ambra has not only nailed this style in the form of their Powerlite Thigh Shaper Short, but they also have a key philosophy we’re happy to live by – being undefined by age or demographic. And it’s glaringly obvious by their designs, which are simple, comfortable and super affordable.

Sizes: 8 – 16

Colours: black and rose beige

Materials: 83% nylon, 16% elastane, 1% cotton

The post Snezana Wood is launching a luxurious sleepwear range in collaboration with Homebodii appeared first on Now To Love.

It didn’t take long for Snezana Wood to cement herself on social media as the queen of elegance and style after stealing Sam Wood’s heart on The Bachelor.

Using her Instagram account as a fashion look book, Snezana often dons neutral colours so it should come as no surprise her clothing collaboration with Homebodii predominately features black sleepwear.

A sneak peek of Snezana’s new range.
(Image: Instagram)

“I’m thrilled to share super exciting news on a project I have been working on for the past year with @homebodii,” she announced on Instagram.

“I have curated my very own capsule collection of luxurious sleepwear! Think elegance fused with comfort. I spent the past 48 hours adding final touches to my collection which I am completely obsessed with! I can’t wait to share more details with you all soon xx”.

Homebodii is an Australian brand located in the Gold Coast which sells loungewear, sleepwear and intimates made from sustainable materials.

The launch date remains unknown.
(Image: Instagram)

Snezana announced the collaboration with a behind the scenes reel featuring intimate moments with the Homebodii team trying on collection, travelling, and talking with Channel Nine.

“Secret’s out! Cannot wait for the launch of this incredible collection,” the brand page commented on the reel.

In the video, followers saw a teaser of Snezana’s sleepwear collection featuring a silk maxi-dress with a low cut back, accessorized with a black robe or a romantic gold chain. Hanging on the clothing rack were also beautiful black laced items – ready to spice up any mediocre night.

Followers flooded the comment section with love and praise, meanwhile others admitted the slip dress could also be a day-look.

“I’d wear the first black long dress one out,” one wrote.

Unfortunately for shoppers, the range has not launched yet with the air date remaining a mystery – for now. Watch this space for more information.

When it comes to our undergarments and shapewear, the rule of thumb is we don’t want to see it.

But if you’ve experienced the awful feeling of finding that amazing strapless dress or top but not having the bra to make it work, believe us – we get it.

For a lot of us, it isn’t realistic to just go braless and even if you can ideally do that, a little bit of extra comfort will never go astray.

Finding the perfect bra is a learned art, especially when you’re dealing with the added hazard of no straps, you’ve probably experienced the slipping and sliding of a strapless bra only for it to end up covering your stomach and not where you need it.

That’s one of the many reasons we are so grateful to the wizards working in bra development and tech who have made finding a good, discreet bra so easy these days.

How do I look classy on a budget?

A lot of the time, looking stylish on a budget comes down to how you accessorise.

Adding jewellery, a belt, sunglasses and a nice bag can really elevate an outfit and take it from good to great.

Neutral colours and structured shapes also tend to make an outfit look “classier”.

How can I look effortlessly stylish everyday?

You can make small changes in your everyday life that can transform your outfit.

Things you can do to look effortlessly stylish everyday include making sure your clothes don’t have wrinkles, wearing delicate jewellery, combining wide or flowy pants with more form-fitting tops, wearing neutral colours and being confident.

No matter what you’re wearing, confidence will make your look shine.

There is nothing quite like slipping into a fresh tracksuit set, an outfit that is endlessly cosy and effortlessly stylish and means you’re instantly ready to relax.

No more are we settling for old track pants from years ago; we are claiming 2024 as the year of chic tracksuits. Especially now that it’s almost winter and we are enduring chilly winds and cool days, a good quality tracksuit is a worthy investment.

What makes a good tracksuit?

However, if you’re looking to save cash but don’t want to skimp on quality, cotton blends and fleeces are a great bet for comfy tracksuits.

Also, take into consideration when and where you’re planning to wear these. If they’re strictly for the home you can go for something more formless, but if you’re aiming to nail the athleisure look then you can shop something a bit more ‘fashion-forward’.

As much as we love our bras, they can get in the way of a good outfit.

But no more do you have to toss between adequate support and the perfect dress or top. Thanks to stick-on bras and bra tape, you can enjoy the freedom of backless dresses or strappy silhouettes without worrying about lines and lingerie.

Whether you are after tape to lift and support or a stick-on bra to provide some extra push and shape, we have you covered.

The best bra tape and stick-on bras to shop in 2024

How do I make sure my stick-on bra stays on?

The best tip to ensure the longevity of your stick-on bra or tape is to ensure you are applying it to clean and dry skin, which means no moisturiser.

Also, ensure to wash your bra/cups after each use as this will help it retain its stickiness.

Ensure you use nipple covers if you are using bra tape, this will prevent pain when removing across that delicate area – ouch! If you find you have residue left over on your skin after, use some oil and soak it.

The post Wearing & caring: 11 sustainable fashion brands to help you go green this year appeared first on Now To Love.

]]>
Ah, that satisfying thrill of putting on a brand new pair of perfectly fitting jeans, that ever-flattering dress you’ve been eyeing up for weeks, or a freshly purchased crisp white shirt.

If you’re anything like us, you’ll be well aware of the tantalising appeal of shopping for new clothes – but it comes at a cost much greater than many of us realise.

As the world battles with a waste crisis, we’re looking at a very slippery slope if we don’t make changes to our shopping habits now by choosing to buy from more sustainable fashion brands.

And while a brand new outfit might make us feel good for the interim, its long-term effects are much greater.

The fashion industry accounts for one of the highest rates of pollution than any other industry – with Australians alone putting more than 6,000 kilograms of textiles into landfill every 10 minutes.

If there was ever a time to take a walk on the greener side it’s now, and luckily for us, it has never been easier. Plenty of brands have hopped on the eco-friendly train to offer stylish and sustainable options that can suit all styles and budgets.

The best sustainable fashion brands to buy in Australia

Below we’re taking a look at some of the best sustainable brands available to buy in Australia, that are putting actions to words and going green. Whether you’re looking for budget buys or luxury labels, we have them all.

01

Aere

from $20

Aere is an Aussie brand exclusive to The Iconic that creates timeless pieces with that true Australian touch, from carefully selected materials and fabrications.

02

Paire

from $29

For high-quality and sustainably made basics like socks, knits and underwear, Paire is a must-watch brand that uses cutting-edge tech to create lasting products.

It uses a blend of natural materials such as Australian Merino wool and eucalyptus fibre to create innovative materials to keep you warm, dry and on-trend.

03

Cariuma

from $65

Not just sneakers: Cariuma puts its best foot forward when it comes to making sneakers in a way that’s better for us and the planet. Pair by pair, the brand does its part to rebuild rainforests through its ecological restoration program.

Working closely with the indigenous communities local to the area in Brazil, the brand has followed their guidance on how to tend to the land and best support regrowth and restoration, improve seed storage efficiency and replanting methods that mitigate risk and preserve biodiversity.

04

Boody

from $10

Underwear and basics are often forgotten in the hunt for sustainable wardrobe additions. However, Boody disrupts the game with the creation of its organically grown bamboo products that are as soft as clouds.

With products from period underwear, activewear, everyday dresses and apparel, Boody has a range of timeless pieces that are so comfortable you’ll never want to take them off.

05

Jac + Jack

from $54

If you want to splurge out and invest in some timeless pieces that will last you for years to come, Jac + Jack is the brand to watch. Founded in 2004, the label has fast become a favourite of conscious Aussie shoppers looking for classic and effortless everyday pieces, made from quality low-impact materials.

The brand is transparent regarding its journey to eco-friendly design and the next steps as it moves to the future of fashion.

06

Spell

from $39

Spell has firmly cemented its place in the Australian fashion landscape with its boho, free-spirited style that screams Byron Bay. Its pieces are intricately designed and use circular and regenerative materials to cut down on waste and promote ethical production.

07

Bassike

from $50

Another homegrown favourite, Bassike is just that, a collection of timeless basics and wardrobe building blocks made from high-quality and sustainable materials, meant to last a lifetime.

A B Corp-certified company, Bassike is on a constant journey to progress its business and design journey in a way that makes a positive impact on the earth. Shop everything from t-shirts to leather and footwear without compromising style or sustainability.

08

Outland Denim

from $79

A favourite of Meghan Markle’s, Outland Denim is a reputable Australian fashion company not only offering some seriously chic denim styles but also doing a hell of a lot of good for the earth.

The company’s ethos is entrenched in helping others – it works to provide careers for women who have been exposed to sex trafficking in Asia by providing jobs and assistance to them.

09

Faithfull The Brand

from $27

Shop the perfect summer and holiday pieces without the guilt at Faithfull The Brand. With a wide array of swimwear, dresses, tops and more, there are endless pieces to suit your style and the best part is, it’s eco-conscious.

Another B Corp-certified brand, all Faithfull pieces are handmade in Bali (where the brand was founded), and it has a focus on providing the best for its employees worldwide including upskilling, parental support and community investments.

10

Calli The Label

from $20

Tap into that laidback Australian lifestyle with these stylish pieces from Calli the label. From denim to suit pieces, Calli is for the modern and conscious woman.

Ensuring to source fabrics from sustainable and ethical providers, as well as working with independent bodies to conduct audits on manufacturers, Calli is working to be socially and environmentally conscious at every step.

11

Kow Tow

from $34

Kow Tow is engaged with a slow production chain, meaning some of its collections take a whopping 18 months to design and hit the floor. But it’s all in the name of the environment. With certified Fair Trade cotton and two single manufacturers in India, the company keeps things simple, yet significant.

The brand’s youthful yet timeless aesthetic provides fashion for all ages and styles, we’re a particular fan of its dresses and t-shirts.

How to shop fashion sustainably

When shopping for sustainable fashion, start by looking for brands that use eco-friendly materials like organic cotton or recycled fabrics. This shows they’re committed to reducing their environmental impact.

However, be cautious of greenwashing – some brands talk the sustainability talk without walking the walk. So, seek certifications or real evidence of their eco-efforts, not just fancy marketing words.

Additionally, support brands that treat their workers fairly and are transparent about their production processes. When a brand cares about its workforce and shares how it makes its products, it’s a positive sign.

Lastly, prioritise well-made and durable clothes, as they save you money in the long run and reduce landfill waste. You may have to fork out a little more than desired to begin with, but it reduces having to buy replacements each season.

$129.99 at Cotton On

A leather jacket knows no bounds, nor does it belong to any defined era. That’s why you’re in for a win if you’re planning to buy a leather or leather look style this winter. 

This slightly oversized style is just one of many options.

Key features:

  • Front button closure
  • In-seam pockets
  • Fully lined

What is the warmest type of winter coat?

Down is one of the warmest materials you can get when it comes to coats. Comprising a fine layer of bird feathers, down is the perfect insulator to keep you warm amid the winter chill.

Uniqlo has a great line of down-padded jackets which are ideal for colder climates.

What is the difference between a winter jacket and a winter coat?

It can be confusing working out if an item classifies as a jacket or a coat, but it’s actually quite simple. 

The key difference between a winter jacket and a winter coat comes down to length – coats are hip-length or longer, while jackets sit at or above the hip area.

Kate Middleton’s favourite affordable brands and where you can shop her outfits https://www.nowtolove.com.au/lifestyle/kate-middleton-affordable-brands/ Wed, 20 Mar 2024 23:21:38 +0000 https://www.nowtolove.com.au/?p=508126 Fit for a princess.

Catherine, Princess of Wales is renowned for her impeccable style, and we are all envious of the incredible outfits she wears on a regular basis.

From evening gowns and tiaras to casual jeans and sneakers, Kate Middleton knows fashion and we know where you can buy some of her favourite wardrobe pieces.

While the Princess of Wales wears various designer brands that cost a pretty penny, Kate Middleton is also known for wearing pieces from high street brands that are surprisingly relatively affordable.

From ASOS to Zara and Topshop, Catherine has donned some pieces that us mere commonfolk can actually purchase without totally breaking the bank, and still channel our inner princess.

As you’d expect, almost anything that Kate Middleton wears immediately sells out – especially if it’s an affordable piece (this phenomenon is appropriately referred to as the ‘Kate effect’). However, we’ve done our best to find the pieces that are still available to purchase, as well as provided some similar alternatives.

Scroll through to see a curated a list of some of the most affordable brands Kate Middleton’s best outfits are from, and find out where you can shop them for yourself.

& Other Stories

Looking effortlessly put together in a casual ensemble, Kate wowed in these simple but classic jeans from & Other Stories. The slim cut style comes in various washes and can be dressed up or down. For just $135, we’ll immediately be purchasing these to channel our inner Princess Catherine.

Reiss

Kate looked effortlessly chic wearing this classic knit turtleneck jumper. This piece is from one of Kate’s recent favourite brands, Reiss, and while it’s a little more on the pricey side, it’s a piece that’ll never go out of style and will last for years thanks to the quality cashmere material.

ASOS

Princess Catherine has worn these ASOS brand earrings multiple times. The 14k gold plated twist hoops are extremely affordable (only $30!) but they are (unsurprisingly) currently out of stock. However, ASOS stocks a very similar style by Topshop which you can purchase for just $22.50!

GAP

(Images: Getty/GAP)

Catherine wore a gingham fitted button-up shirt from GAP in 2014 and again in 2017. This classic design is undoubtedly a wardrobe staple and it’s available in multiple colourways for just $45.

Boden

(Images: Getty/Boden)

In April 2023, Kate Middleton swapped out her usual heels for a more comfortable pair of flats. The specific style she wore from Boden aren’t available in Australia, but the brand stocks a style that is extremely similar to the original pair Kate wore (and they’re even on sale).

lululemon

For engagements that require some physical activity, the Princess of Wales always looks chic in her choice of activewear. Kate’s go-to brand for activewear is lululemon and her favourite pieces include the Define Jacket and Chargefeel Low Women’s Workout Shoe.

Missoma

(Images: Getty/Missoma)

These gorgeous earrings from Missoma have become a jewellery staple for Princess Catherine. She’s worn them on at least eight occasions since she debuted them in 2020, so you know they have Kate’s tick of approval.

Superga

(Images: Getty/The Iconic)

We all need a pair of classic white sneakers in our lives, so why not go for this style from Superga? The Princess of Wales has worn these sneakers to about 12 public engagements and they’re only $77.

Veja

Staying on the theme of white sneakers, another brand Kate has been seen wearing frequently is Veja. This specific pair are both fashionable and practical – a must-have in your shoe collection.

Are you manically Googling trying to get your hands on a cosy winter coat that will keep you warm (without breaking the bank) this winter?

Maybe you’re looking for a bit of celebrity inspiration to help you decide what kind of coat you really want to don. Look no further than the chic neutral-coloured style worn by royal fashion icons Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle.

Interestingly, both women have shunned the traditional black jacket and instead have been seen wearing camel coats by Spanish brand Massimo Dutti.

Camel is here to stay. Chic neutral coats cropping up everywhere this season, with high end luxury fashion label Max Mara selling dozens of cosy camel coats, as well as our favourite accessible brands like Stradivarius, who have created amazing affordable trench coats (more on that very soon).

As for the specific styles favoured by the stylish royal ladies, while Meghan and Kate looked incredibly chic, sadly Massimo Dutti’s coats are well outside our price range.

Meghan also wore a camel coat for her first official public engagement in 2020, wearing Massimo Dutti at Canada House in London.

So we’ve gone on the hunt for some affordable dupes that are still super stylish and cosy, but won’t break the bank.

Keep on scrolling for the ultimate cosy camel coats – all under $300.

The post Jeans, nice top, full wallet: The best denim styles under $100 on the market right now appeared first on Now To Love.

Whether you’re a bell-bottom gal or a straight and skinny-leg legend, you can guarantee there’ll be a pair of jeans out there that’ll suit you.

The only dilemma here is where to actually find the darn things.

If you’re in the familiar pickle, we’ve got some good news for you.

In a year where curveballs have been thrown left right and centre, one very solid silver lining has emerged from 2020 and landed smack bang in every beloved clothing store we frequent – a refreshed collection of denims – and you can bet there’s a style for everyone.

We were ready for it – and boy have we been delivered the goods.

While the skinny leg had a serious heyday in those early years of the 2010s, it looks like the early 20s are bringing back a little nostalgia when it comes to denim.

From 80s-esque flares and bell-bottoms and to the grungy 90s straight leg, we’re seeing jeans of all shapes and sizes grace the sidewalks.

Of course, not all denims come cheap, which is why selecting a great pair of trousers can result in a slight budget dilemma.

That’s why we thought it supremely pertinent to celebrate our denim dreams by finding you the very best denim styles on the market … under $100.

Yep, strap yourselves in and keep scrolling for our favourite picks from these affordable brands – all you’ll need now is a nice top.

Why lab-grown diamonds are the gemstones of the future https://www.nowtolove.com.au/lifestyle/lab-grown-diamonds/ Wed, 13 Mar 2024 05:15:00 +0000 https://www.nowtolove.com.au/?p=507549 Save yourself a pretty penny.

The post Why lab-grown diamonds are the gemstones of the future appeared first on Now To Love.

]]>
There has been a surge in popularity in lab-grown diamonds and moissanite stones within the jewellery industry in recent years.

Now To Love spoke with the owner and founder of Cullen Jewellery, Jordan Cullen, to find out just exactly why lab-grown diamonds and moissanite have become a leading jewellery trend.

So, what exactly are lab-grown diamonds? As the name suggests, they are created in a lab by “replicating natural conditions in a controlled environment using predominantly the CVD (chemical vapour deposition) method which starts with a diamond seed, a combination of pressure, temperature and the right mix of gas to replicate how a diamond grows in nature,” according to Jordan.

While similar to lab-grown diamonds, moissanite does vary slightly. Moissanite is a gemstone that is also created in a lab but it features an extra amount of sparkle and fire that diamonds don’t. For some people, the increased level of sparkle makes moissanite an even more desirable choice than a diamond.

Cullen Jewellery creates a range of products including engagement rings, fine jewellery and more. (Image: Cullen Jewellery)

One key reason for the rise in popularity of lab-grown diamonds is because they “have the same physical, chemical and optical properties as mined diamonds which makes them indistinguishable with the naked eye.”

This means that lab grown diamonds are in fact real diamonds – the only difference being where they were sourced from.

There are also a number of ethical, environmental and economic benefits to purchasing lab grown diamonds and moissanite over traditional mined diamonds, which has certainly influenced their rise in popularity.

Not only does the process of mining diamonds cause damage to the environment, but many mined diamonds in circulation are also blood diamonds that have been sourced unethically and their origins are unable to be traced.

Additionally, as Jordan confirmed, lab-grown diamonds are significantly more affordable than their mined counterparts which means that “consumers can go for a larger stone of far higher quality and still pay a lower price.”

As lab-grown diamonds and moissanite have become increasingly popular in recent years, many customers now go to jewellers, such as Cullen Jewellery, specifically seeking out lab-grown stones.

Cullen Jewellery has become a leading retailer in the space and for many they are a preferred jeweller as they “have refused to sell mined diamonds at all and have committed to only selling diamonds of an ethical origin.”

In terms of trends, there has been a steady increase in demand for lab-grown stones and moissanite compared to natural gemstones.

“As more and more jewellers have begun embracing lab-grown diamonds, consumers have benefitted from the education and readily available stock where they can see labs with their own eyes. Culture is shifting and consumers are more aware than ever of the importance of looking after our environment and this has really helped to expedite the shift in demand,” Jordan shared.

Due to the popularity of lab-grown diamonds, Cullen Jewellery has also revealed a collection of coloured lab grown stones, featuring shades of pink, yellow and blue.

According to the brand, there has been a significant demand from clients seeking custom, colourful stones and designs.

Lab-grown diamonds and stones are a perfect option for jewellery, especially engagement rings, as they are durable, affordable and have the exact same properties as mined diamonds – so no one would know the difference!

Jordan believes the future of lab grown stones is bright, and he sees the industry continuing to grow. 

“Lab-grown diamonds have proven themselves with consumers now, they have embraced them with open arms and will continue to do so. As consumer education improves we expect more and more consumers to make the change to lab-grown.”
