As the original creators of moissanite, Charles & Colvard has been an industry leader in the lab grown market for nearly 30 years. They've since evolved their portfolio to include lab grown diamonds and lab grown precious color gemstones, and have made a commitment to attain 100% use of recycled precious metals.
"We believe with more and more couples interested in the provenance of their jewelry and alternatives to mined gemstones, the need for a space to understand and experience them in person has arrived," said Don O'Connell, President and CEO. "This isn't just a place for customers to see our product firsthand. This is an opportunity to educate and share the beauty of above ground, responsibly made jewelry with anyone who is interested," O'Connell concluded.
