***Special thanks to Lightbox for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own.***
A while ago, I introduced a new brand and concept that I’m loving – Lightbox’s laboratory-grown diamonds. Remember how I was tempted to get another piece? Well, after getting a halo pendant necklace in blue, I really wanted one in pink too! This time, I got a 1/2 carat stone with the same silver setting. Occasionally, I like layering my necklaces. I felt that getting a smaller size would allow me to layer nicely with the first one I got! As I had mentioned before, Lightbox’s jewelry is light on the pocket, at just $800 per carat. Since jewelry pricing can be confusing, I wanted to take some time to explain how it works for Lightbox’s lab-grown diamonds!
One of the biggest reasons why I feel at ease purchasing Lightbox jewelry over and over again is because their pricing is always transparent – just like their beautiful stones. You might be wondering, “why is that?” Unlike diamonds created in nature, lab-grown ones are easier to produce. They are not rare. Contrarily, regular diamonds are priced individually because no one diamond is the same. They also come with certificates to describe their character and qualities.
Lightbox is different because they are able to create many lab-grown diamonds everyday. Their solitaires do not come with certificates to describe them because they are all the same – equally stunning and sparkly! However, every lab-grown diamond larger than a 1/4 carat is laser inscribed with the Lightbox logo. Rest assured, the logo is invisible to the naked eye. It is just there as a promise of quality.
By making pricing a no-brainer, Lightbox encourages their customers to focus on the lighter moments of life, such as time well-spent with loved ones, a birthday celebration, and even just “the now.” I know I will be cherishing many moments of sparkle with Lightbox in my lifetime!
How does pricing affects your purchasing decision when it comes to jewelry?

October 26, 2018Not bad. I guess trying it out wouldn’t hurt. And not to forget you wrote it well.
Sharon Wu

Mariann Yip
October 27, 2018Wow the necklace is beautiful! When it comes to jewelry, I definitely do believe in investing since they’re such a great piece that you can wear over and over again or even past it down generations!

Eileen
October 26, 2018yes! your last post about these lab-grown diamonds was so interesting, I’m glad you made another post to discuss more about pricing. since it’s so new to me, I was a little confused as to how the pricing worked. it’s nice to know that it’s actually really simple and easy to figure out – this will make my Christmas shopping much easier! thank you for sharing – you’ve converted me into a Lightbox fan! 🙂
Sharon Wu
October 26, 2018I’m so happy to hear that, Eileen! I also am a fan of Lightbox’s pricing because it’s a no-brainer. I suck at math and the last thing I want to do when I’m trying to purchase something is figure out how much it’ll cost. These beautiful necklaces would make the perfect Christmas gift!
Nataly
October 26, 2018This is very interesting! Those diamonds are still very pretty!

Khushboo Motihar
October 27, 2018I am new to the concept of lab made diamonds and it was interesting to know about Lightbox. Are these diamonds considered to be as valuable as the traditional diamonds?
Sharon Wu
October 27, 2018They are not considered to be as valuable as traditional diamonds because they can be more easily made, but the quality is impeccable!
Marcie
October 27, 2018My husband was just telling me about this! It’s such a cool concept! I’m excited to check them out!
Sharon Wu
October 27, 2018Ooohhh! I’m so excited to know that more people are becoming familiar with this concept! xx

Catherine Santiago Jose
October 28, 2018Amazing diamond on a great silver lace. The design is top notch and very good detail in it. This is surely a head turner whenever be seen.
Sharon Wu
October 28, 2018Thank you Catherine! I have gotten plenty of compliments on these gems already! xx
Joanna
October 28, 2018This sounds like a great alternative to very pricy real diamonds, especially that they share the same composition. They look gorgeous!
Sharon Wu
October 28, 2018Yes! I totally agree with you, Joanna! Thank you 🙂 xx
Ellie Plummer
October 28, 2018The necklace is so beautiful! It is nice to have a few bits of jewellery that are extra special
Sharon Wu
October 28, 2018Yes! I usually just buy costume jewelry because I don’t wear them often enough before I lose them but these have definitely been great investments for me.
Liz
October 28, 2018Nice! this necklace is not too fancy yet sophisticated if you examine. It triggers my interest to check lightbox’s products too.
Sharon Wu
October 28, 2018It’s just perfect for everyday wear!
Lyosha
October 28, 2018woah! Looks shiny! I like it when it sparkles, it makes things so much more interesting to me.
Sharon Wu
October 28, 2018Haha I am just like you! Love shiny/sparkly things 🙂
Jessica
October 28, 2018I had never really heard of lab-grown diamonds before – pretty neat! Pricing is also a big deal to me when it comes to jewelry because I want to make sure that I’m making a worthy investment in something beautiful that will last, and not just something that will turn my neck green lol! Great post!
Sharon Wu
October 28, 2018I am with you! Haha green necks are never any fun. Luckily, these beauties won’t do that to ya 😉 xx
Linh
October 28, 2018Pricing does affect my decision but not always. I really love these jewels. Thanks for sharing!
Sharon Wu
October 28, 2018I understand! A lot of people factor in pricing when investing in bigger purchases like jewelry so I just thought I’d share more. The pricing structure is a bit different for Lightbox’s lab-grown diamonds compared to traditional diamond jewelry.
Candace
October 28, 2018That is beautiful and delicate jewelry. I do believe in investing when it comes to jewelry.

October 28, 2018Yes! Jewelry is definitely worth the investment especially when they are as timeless as these gems <3
Stephanie
October 28, 2018Okay, but the colors in these are just too spectacular! I’m obsessed with that amethyst one (my birth stone)! So stunning it’s unreal.
Sharon Wu
October 28, 2018Aren’t they? I think it’s more of a pink than amethyst – although I would LOVE for them to come out with an amethyst color because purple is my fave hahaha
Nandita
October 28, 2018Knew about how real diamonds are generally priced, but this is something different…interesting to know.

Kisha
October 28, 2018I definitely keep within a certain budget when I’m doing jewelry shopping. I don’t like to make purchasing jewelry a priority, but, maybe I would if I could find quality jewelry at a reasonable price point.
Sharon Wu
October 29, 2018I am the same way, Kisha! These Lightbox gems are worth every penny though xx
Atsuna Matsui
October 28, 2018The simply designed diamond necklace looks so gorgeous on you Sharon! It’s very classy and I love how minimal it looks. I don’t think I actually own any diamond in my closet, but if I ever consider investing a diamond piece jewelry, I will definitely have to look into Lightbox.

Sharon Wu
October 29, 2018I totally understand! I love that these lab-grown diamonds are more affordable than traditional diamonds, and the quality is there too. It allows me to splurge on something nice, while still having $$ in the bank account for other things! 😉 haha

Woodeline
October 30, 2018Pricing for me is everything and could affect me buying something. But if looking into what I am buying and it is valuable, rest assured I will invest in it. I like the pink one.
Sharon Wu
October 30, 2018I couldn’t agree more! These gems have definitely been a worthwhile investment for me. I love that I can wear them everyday and not have to worry about it tarnishing on me. It’s small enough to wear everywhere, including the gym and I don’t ever really have to worry about it!
Megan Elliott
October 30, 2018Wow these diamonds are beautiful!! It’s so great that their pricing is easy and transparent. Definitely a great incentive to buy!
Sharon Wu
October 30, 2018I couldn’t agree more! I’m always more likely to purchase something and trust a brand when the pricing is straight-forward and transparent. So glad that Lightbox makes it easy for people to invest in quality diamonds at great prices!
Joanna
October 30, 2018It’s very interesting how they have a unique price for all their lab grown diamonds. This way everyone can afford one!
Sharon Wu
October 30, 2018Yes! This is why I think the concept is so brilliant. Even though these diamonds are not as rare as the traditional ones, you wouldn’t really be able to tell the difference. Both are equally pretty and sparkly! 🙂
