I don’t need to remind you that diamonds are a girl’s best friend; we already know that.
But what you might not know is there’s a new acquaintance to be made: coloured gemstones. Specifically, lab-grown ones.
These sparkly gems are taking over red carpets and Instagram selfies, seen across Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa, Drew Barrymore and others.
A brighter, bolder and more personal style to your classic diamond, gemstones are more than just a trend – they’re a way to let your personality shine through.
And because I know we all love an excuse to shop, I’ve found some of the best coloured gemstones that are lab-grown to “frost yourself” this winter.
The best lab-grown coloured gemstones, as seen on…
Emerald
Bella Hadid is the ultimate muse. Pairing a black gown with emerald drop earrings, this look just screams elegance.
