"Crafted from light and conviction, our diamonds reflect a brilliance that honors care, conscience and deep respect for our planet."
Araiya by Aza was envisioned to redefine fine jewellery, where modern craftsmanship meets mindful creation. Born from the belief that brilliance should reflect both beauty and responsibility, every Araiya diamond is cultivated in advanced laboratories with precision and care. We celebrate artistry that honors the earth, bringing you jewels that shine not just for their sparkle, but for their purpose.
Independent studies and publicly available data confirm that lab-grown diamonds offer a significantly reduced footprint compared to mined stones:
Ecosystems
Mined
96 to 150 kWh per carat
Significant amounts of energy, usually from fossil fuels (electricity, gasoline) and water, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
Lab Grown
