***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!

Not bad. I guess trying it out wouldn’t hurt. And not to forget you wrote it well.
Thank you! I’m glad you found it easy to follow along 🙂
Wow 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!
I am with you girl! These beauties will definitely be worn over and over again in years to come 🙂
yes! 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! 🙂
I’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!
This is very interesting! Those diamonds are still very pretty!
Right? Haha you really couldn't tell that these beauties are lab-grown. I'm in love!
I love this dainty little diamond necklace babe! So perfect for everyday wear!
Kileen
cute & little
Thank you Kileen! It really is great for everyday wear 🙂
ouuuu i’ve never heard of this but definitely looks like something my friends will be into. love it!
Glad to hear that babe! xx
I 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?
They are not considered to be as valuable as traditional diamonds because they can be more easily made, but the quality is impeccable!
My husband was just telling me about this! It’s such a cool concept! I’m excited to check them out!
Ooohhh! I’m so excited to know that more people are becoming familiar with this concept! xx
Great article! I’m thankful for the insight about jewelry pricing, I’ll definitely keep this in mind!
Thanks Peter! So glad you found it insightful 🙂
Those are so gorgeous and I love how timeless they look like. I never heard of them before so now I’m very interested 😀
They really are timeless and go with just about anything you might choose to wear for the day! 🙂
Amazing 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.
Thank you Catherine! I have gotten plenty of compliments on these gems already! xx
This sounds like a great alternative to very pricy real diamonds, especially that they share the same composition. They look gorgeous!
Yes! I totally agree with you, Joanna! Thank you 🙂 xx
The necklace is so beautiful! It is nice to have a few bits of jewellery that are extra special
Yes! 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.
Nice! this necklace is not too fancy yet sophisticated if you examine. It triggers my interest to check lightbox’s products too.
It’s just perfect for everyday wear!
woah! Looks shiny! I like it when it sparkles, it makes things so much more interesting to me.
Haha I am just like you! Love shiny/sparkly things 🙂
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 am with you! Haha green necks are never any fun. Luckily, these beauties won’t do that to ya 😉 xx
Pricing does affect my decision but not always. I really love these jewels. Thanks for sharing!
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.
That is beautiful and delicate jewelry. I do believe in investing when it comes to jewelry.

Yes! Jewelry is definitely worth the investment especially when they are as timeless as these gems <3
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
Knew about how real diamonds are generally priced, but this is something different…interesting to know.

It is definitely different! Thanks for stopping by! xx
Thanks for this! really informative. I might be behind the curve a little bit but I honestly had no clue you could buy diamonds this way!!
It’s a pretty new concept to me too and I found it intriguing so I wanted to share! 🙂 xx Glad you found it informative.
Those pieces are gorgeous! I’ve never been one for dainty jewelry or diamonds, but these are absolutely stunning. I’ll have to check them out now. I love how you layered different sizes. Thanks for sharing!

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!
These pieces are gorgeous. I am going to check it out as I had never heard of lightbox before.
Aw yay! So happy to introduce a new brand to you that I love! Hope you will love their jewelry as much as I do xoxo
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.
I am the same way, Kisha! These Lightbox gems are worth every penny though xx
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.

Thank you Atsuna! You’re so kind <3 I love the minimalist look too, and how lightweight they are. I definitely recommend Lightbox if you ever consider investing in a diamond necklace for sure 🙂
I really do like lab grown diamonds! I’ve always like the prices for them because it really is like having the real thing!
You couldn’t have said it any better, Deborah! I totally agree with you 🙂
You looks really stunning. Those diamond necklace looks awesome and likely for daily wear.

Thanks Miki! They really do go with everything haha 🙂
Oh wow, the necklace is so pretty! Very delicate and dainty!
Thank you! Just the way I like my jewelry hehe
Pricing is very important for me. I am a recent college grad. So, paying my debt always come first. These look amazing though!!
I 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
Those are stunning necklaces. I believe that investing in jewelry is totally worth it. There is a huge difference in quality, durability and just the over all look. I am totally into checking out lightbox!
Yes! I totally agree, Melissa. I hope you will be able to find a few pieces from Lightbox that you love 🙂
Wow that necklace is so beautiful.
Thank you Crystal!
Wow, I love these and love that they are in a lab and are not at the cost of human lives! These are so pretty and so dainty, and would pair well with everything!

I had never heard of Lightbox and this is literally going on my Christmas list! I’ve always LOVE small dainty jewelry pieces! I’m so in love with this!

I like the design here and the simple approach to pricing. It does look quite elegant and is something that I think would suit most people very well.
Yes! Simplicity is key for me – both in the elegance of jewelry and in pricing 😉
The pricing sounds easy enough to figure out which is nice. Stunning pieces though!
Haha yes indeed! I hate making calculations when I’m about to make a large purchase. Investing in quality jewelry has never been easier than with Lightbox!
That is such a beautiful and dainty necklace!! I love how simple yet stunning it is!
Thanks Brit! I think so too! 🙂 xx
Wow, I like this beautiful pieces and the pricing sounds really fair. For me buying a jewelry with diamond stone it really worth it and you can even pass it on with your daughter or with your next generation.
That’s so true! I love that Lightbox makes it easy for people to figure out pricing and invest in quality pieces that will last them through many years and generations 🙂
These are some.beautiful pieces.really an investment but really worth it as you can pass it along to your daughters someday and their price is quite reasonable.
Haha yes! 🙂
What an interesting idea, I’d never heard of manufactured lab diamonds before. They look gorgeous.
Glad you think so too, Alexis!
This is amazing! I love how you broke the pricing down.
Thanks for stopping by, Taylor!
I love these necklaces on you, they are so beautiful and such a good investment to these pieces that can be worn for many years! I will have to check it out❤️
Aww thank you Helena! These necklaces would be gorgeous on you too! x
Pricing 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.
I 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!
Wow these diamonds are beautiful!! It’s so great that their pricing is easy and transparent. Definitely a great incentive to buy!
I 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!
It’s very interesting how they have a unique price for all their lab grown diamonds. This way everyone can afford one!
Yes! 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! 🙂
I have never heard of Lightbox before! These diamond pieces are absolutely stunning!
They really are! xx
That necklace is stunning! Such a timeless piece!
Timeless, indeed! Thank you! xx

I think when it comes to jewellery, I’d rather pay more for a bespoke necklace than a cheap one that everyone has and won’t last. Loving all the pictures!
I agree with you! Though, I like that Lightbox offers reasonable pricing without compromising quality 🙂
Sooo cool, I love this! I might have to give it a try 🙂 The necklaces are so pretty!
