Lab-grown diamonds are a modern marvel: all the luxury and brilliance of a mined diamond, but without the heavy environmental or ethical cost. Created in laboratories under conditions that replicate the natural conditions of diamond formation, these gems have the same physical, chemical and optical properties of mined diamonds, making them indistinguishable to a viewer.
Unlike traditional diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are not only chemically identical to their mined counterparts but are also produced with a significantly reduced carbon footprint.
Also, these diamonds come certified by gemstone experts, in a myriad of creative settings in diamond jewellery pieces that’ll get you on board with new, conscious luxury.
From engagement rings to bridal jewellery and pieces for everyday wear, here are the top places to buy lab-grown diamonds in Singapore.

Èclat by Oui – Luxury Travel Jewellery and Lab-Grown Diamond Simulants
Founder Ethel Neo, looking for guilt-free and luxurious “travel jewellery” after she lost her engagement ring on vacation, started Èclat by Oui to create unique pieces that follow you on your adventures. The versatile pieces in Èclat by Oui’s catalogue can be styled for various occasions and are designed to be loved and lived in.
It is to note that the stones used in these collections are technically not diamonds: they are simulants crafted to resemble diamonds with a hardness of 8.5 on the Moh scale. They do, however, have the same affordable price point and ethical sourcing of lab-grown diamonds.
This boutique’s most unique offering, and one directly inspired by the founder’s mishap, is the Classic Travel Ring. These rings are meant to be worn in place of heirloom jewellery while travelling to minimise the fear of damage or loss, but they’re no less worthy of treasuring, though they are incredibly affordable. The Madison Ring, a contemporary design with interweaving pavé stones and a centre stone above an interlocking infinity design, is a worthy pick. The Sarah Hoop Earrings are an elegant piece that’s cocktail-dress worthy and summer-ready all at once.
Èclat by Oui is located at 313 Orchard Road, 313@Somerset, #B1-38A, Singapore 238895. Shop the full collection online on the website.
