The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2026 - Issue 39

bitejewellery From the Era collection, the Lab‑grown Diamond Ring in 14-karat gold or white gold feels like a moment of light captured in solid form. Its smooth band of gold draws the eye straight to the brilliance of a 1.00‑carat lab‑grown diamond. The modern four‑prong setting blends rounded and flat profiles, opening the excellent‑cut stone to every angle so it can catch and release as much light as possible. The Era Bezel Lab‑grown Diamond Earrings in 14-karat gold or sterling silver offer a clean, contem- porary kind of sparkle, each one centred around a 0.15‑carat lab‑grown diamond wrapped in a smooth bezel. Subtle cutouts along the back and sides allow light to pour through the setting, illuminating the stone from every angle and giving the pair a bright, refined brilliance. In 14-karat white gold or sterling silver, the Era Bezel Lab‑grown Diamond Pendant Necklace features a smooth bezel that cradles a 0.15‑carat lab‑grown diamond. Subtle cutouts along the back and sides invite light to flow through the setting, illuminating the stone from every angle. This bright- ness gives the pendant a refined, timeless radiance, combining simplicity and modernity. Following the decades-long language of the four Cs (cut, colour, clarity and carat), Pandora has expanded the vocabulary to include a fifth: carbon footprint. Every Pandora Lab‑Grown Diamond now comes with its carbon footprint listed on their website alongside the traditional grading criteria, giving customers a clear view of the emissions generated from the moment the raw materials are produced to the point the finished diamond leaves the facility. A one‑carat Pandora Lab‑Grown Diamond, for example, carries 12.58 kg of CO₂e emissions, which is roughly 90% lower than a mined diamond of the same size. As CEO Berta de Pablos‑Barbier said, “We believe the future is about making diamonds more accessible while giving customers clarity on what they’re buying. We craft our jewellery with sustainability in mind, and by introducing the 5th C, we’re empowering consumers to make informed choices.” This May, Pandora unveiled its new measure of brilliance at the Global Fashion Summit in Copenhagen, the leading forum for sustainability in fashion. Pamela Anderson, the brand’s global ambassador, joined Chief Marketing Officer Jennie Farmer on stage to introduce the initiative to an audience that increasingly expects beauty and responsibility to coexist. The Pandora Lab‑Grown Diamonds collection is already available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Denmark, with more markets on the horizon. https://uk.pandora.net/en
