Welcome back to the Rachel Beth Jewellery Podcast Show! I'm Rachel Lake, your host, the founder, and creative director of Rachel Beth Jewellery.
In today's episode, we address a recent listener's question about lab-grown diamonds versus natural diamonds. Although our custom jewellery primarily features sapphires, many of our clients often incorporate diamonds into their designs or request them as centre stones.
**Key Points Discussed:**
- **Similarity in Properties**: Lab-grown and natural diamonds share the same visual, physical, and chemical properties, making them virtually identical to the naked eye.
- **Detection by Experts**: The subtle differences between lab-grown and natural diamonds can only be detected by trained jewellers or gemmologists.
- **Grading Standards**: Both the Gemmological Institution of America (GIA) and the International Gemmological Institute (IGI) use the same methods and standards to grade lab-grown and natural diamonds. These standard-defining agencies see no difference between the two types of diamonds across the 4 Cs (Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat).
- **Cost and Preference**: The choice between lab-grown and natural diamonds often comes down to budget and personal preference. Lab-grown diamonds are typically 30-50% less expensive than natural diamonds.
- **Formation Process**: Lab-grown diamonds are created in a laboratory, while natural diamonds are formed over millions of years within the Earth. The choice between the two is a matter of personal preference, how it makes you feel, and the story it tells.
I hope you enjoyed our sparkling journey into the world of diamonds. If you have any questions or topics you'd like me to cover in future episodes, feel free to reach out.
**Thank you for listening!**

Welcome back to the Rachel Beth Jewellery Podcast Show! I'm Rachel Lake, your host the founder and creative director at Rachel Beth Jewellery. In today's episode, I'm excited to share some practical tips on how to keep your jewellery box in pristine condition. Just like the beautiful pieces it holds, your jewellery box deserves a little TLC to keep everything look its best. Maintaining a clean and organized jewellery box can make a world of difference, not just in how your pieces look but also in how you feel every time you open that jewellery box. Here's a simple guide to help you get started: First, I recommend tackling the task of organising step by step. start with small sections. This approach allows you to ensure every little corner gets the attention it deserves. Next, don't underestimate the power of a good lint roller. It's a fantastic tool for picking up those pesky particles that seem to accumulate in the corners of your jewellery box. Just a quick roll, and you'll be amazed at how much cleaner it looks. And for those high-traffic areas in your jewellery box, where you store your frequently worn pieces, consider using a handheld vacuum attachment. Here's a little insider tip: put a sock over the vacuum's nozzle. This trick helps prevent any tiny pieces from being accidentally sucked up while ensuring a thorough clean. Remember, these small steps can significantly impact how your cherished jewellery is stored and maintained. Thank you for tuning in to this episode of the Rachel Beth Jewellery Podcast Show! I hope these tips inspire you to give your jewellery box the care it deserves.
