Episode 80: Lab-Grown vs. Mined Diamonds: What You NEED to Know Before Buying!

Welcome to The Bouquet Toss, the podcast that helps you plan your wedding day, your way! We’re your hosts, Jessica and Sari, and in each episode, we talk with special guests, including wedding professionals, recent brides, and friends, to discuss what to keep and what to toss from your wedding day plans. In today’s episode, we kick things off with a fun recap of some of the biggest wedding headlines of 2024, including how inflation is affecting wedding costs, creative ways couples are managing their budgets, and some surprising trends like charging guests an entrance fee to attend weddings. We share our hot takes and have a few laughs over the wildest stories we’ve come across this year. Then, we are joined by Anna-Mieke Anderson, founder of MiaDonna, to dive into one of the most impactful topics in the wedding industry—lab-grown diamonds and ethical jewelry! Anna-Mieke shares her incredible journey of founding MiaDonna, her mission to create conflict-free diamonds, and how lab-grown diamonds are revolutionizing the jewelry industry.

Episode Highlights:

Anna-Mieke’s personal story of how she discovered the reality of conflict diamonds and what inspired her to create MiaDonna.
A deep dive into the science of lab-grown diamonds—what they are and how they compare to traditional earth-mined diamonds.
The environmental and ethical benefits of choosing lab-grown diamonds for your engagement ring or wedding jewelry.
Tips on how to be a conscious consumer when selecting wedding jewelry and what to look for when shopping for conflict-free options.
