Moments of Sparkle with Lightbox: Pricing Explained

October 26, 2018

***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.

The pricing is simply determined by two factors: the size of the stone and the setting. Regardless of what color stone you pick, it is $800 per carat. This means that if you choose a 1/2 carat stone, it will be half the cost – $400. As far as the setting goes, Lightbox has two prices for this piece and design – $100 for silver and $200 for 10 karat gold. So, if I wanted a 1 carat stone with a 10 karat gold setting, it will total $1000. As someone whose weakest subject in school was math, I truly appreciate how easy it is to figure out pricing when I see something I like.

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!

  15. I 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!

    • I 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.

  18. Okay, but the colors in these are just too spectacular! I’m obsessed with that amethyst one (my birth stone)! So stunning it’s unreal.

    • Aren’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

    • I’m glad you think they are gorgeous too! I normally don’t wear much jewelry but have been wearing these on repeat. Love how lightweight they are, and they add a nice subtle touch of elegance to all my outfits!

  23. I 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.

  24. The 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.
