From Mine to Lab: How Indian Artisans Are Transitioning to Ethical Jewelry Careers You can feel it, can’t you? The quiet revolution humming beneath the polished sheen of lab diamond rings and shimmering solitaire necklaces. Something’s changing—not just in how jewelry looks, but in how it's made, who makes it, and the stories carried within every glint and sparkle. Let’s talk about something close to the heart and rooted in soil—literally and figuratively. For centuries, Indian artisans, some with skill passed down like family heirlooms, have worked in the mining and gemstone polishing industries. But now, many of these hands—once roughened by dust, heat, and long shifts under fluorescent lights—are stepping into cleaner, safer, and dare we say, more meaningful spaces: ethical jewelry powered by lab grown diamonds. And honestly? The shift isn’t just overdue—it’s beautiful. https://caratandkin.com/product/60-cents-heartfelt-elegance-studs/
