"Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. In 2018, the Federal Trade Commission confirmed this by removing the word "natural" from the legal definition of diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds have the same chemical structure, brilliance, and durability as mined diamonds. The only difference is their origin - they're grown in controlled labs."
"I do not see mined diamonds as the equivalent of wearing real fur, but I do think women today want choices that reflect their values. Half of millennial and Gen Z couples pick engagement rings with lab-grown diamonds - well beyond what the mining industry had expected."
"It was something I could no longer look away from. Such was the impetus for Haejin Jewelry in Williamsburg - to create beautiful jewelry without human cost. Today, Haejin Jewelry is known for custom lab-grown diamond engagement rings in Brooklyn, designed for couples who value beauty, ethics, and transparency."
Sue Kim founded Haejin Jewelry in Williamsburg after recognizing the human cost of traditional diamond mining. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically identical to mined diamonds, confirmed by the FTC in 2018, with the same brilliance and durability but grown in controlled laboratory environments. The name Haejin means "Jewelry Formed by the Sun" in Korean, reflecting Kim's vision of bringing ethical light to the jewelry industry. Millennial and Gen Z couples increasingly choose lab-grown diamonds, with McKinsey reporting that half of these demographics select lab-grown options for engagement rings. Haejin Jewelry specializes in custom engagement rings that combine beauty, ethics, and transparency, positioning itself within New York City's thriving jewelry market.
