Why Celebrities Are Choosing Lab-Grown Diamonds in 2025

By Aishwarya Kumar

From Taylor Swift to Leonardo DiCaprio, celebrities are redefining luxury with lab-grown diamonds. Here’s why it matters.

From red carpets to world tours, lab-grown diamonds are stealing the spotlight. Celebrities like Taylor Swift, Emma Watson, and Leonardo DiCaprio are redefining luxury by choosing sustainable, lab-grown diamonds over mined ones. As ethical fashion gains momentum globally, these choices are sending a powerful message — one that is resonating with consumers and jewelry brands alike.

In this blog, we explore how Hollywood and Bollywood’s most influential names are early adopters of lab-grown diamonds and why this movement is making waves in India’s fine jewelry space too.

Leonardo DiCaprio: The Original Advocate of Lab-Grown Diamonds

Few celebrities have championed sustainability like Leonardo DiCaprio. Not only did he invest in Diamond Foundry, a pioneering lab-grown diamond company, but he has also used his platform to raise awareness about the environmental toll of traditional diamond mining.

DiCaprio’s support was one of the earliest and strongest signals that lab-grown diamonds are the future of luxury, combining elegance with ethics. His commitment continues to inspire both the industry and the conscious consumer.

DiCaprio, a longtime advocate for sustainability, chose not just any diamonds, but ethical ones. Lab-grown, conflict-free, and powered by renewable energy, these stones reflect both his personal values and his deep respect for his mother.

Taylor Swift: Lab-Grown Diamonds on Her Eras Tour

In a much-talked-about moment on her 2024 Eras Tour, Taylor Swift was spotted wearing minimalist yet dazzling lab-grown diamond studs from an co-conscious designer. The fashion world took notice — and so did millions of fans.

Her look made headlines not just for the sparkle, but for the message: luxury can be sustainable. In a world where Swift’s every outfit goes viral, this was a bold and deliberate endorsement of ethical jewelry.

Taylor Swift was spotted wearing her VRAI Linked Tennis Earrings featuring VRAI created diamonds at her last US stop on The Eras Tour in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Emma Watson: A Consistent Voice for Ethical Fashion

Known for her advocacy in sustainable fashion, Emma Watson has repeatedly chosen lab-grown diamonds for red carpet events and interviews. As a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador and face of the “Green Carpet Challenge,” she embodies what it means to align values with visibility.

Watson’s jewelry choices are never accidental — they are carefully curated to support the planet and women-owned businesses. She’s helping push lab-grown jewelry into the mainstream while educating millions on why these choices matter.

Lab-Grown Diamonds in India: Rising Alongside Global Influence

As global celebrities shine in lab-grown diamonds, the ripple effect is reaching Indian shores. Consumers here are becoming increasingly aware of sustainability, and homegrown brands are stepping up to meet that demand.

From city professionals to fashion-forward brides, Indian shoppers are now embracing IGI-certified, conflict-free lab-grown diamond rings and earrings that offer the same brilliance — with none of the environmental guilt.
