In this episode of Green Queens, Imogen Bhogal and Abbie Dewhurst head to one of London’s most exclusive postcodes — New Bond Street — to meet Jamie Patel, founder of The Diamond Lab. Together, they explore the glittering world of lab-grown diamonds and ask the big questions:
How do they really compare to mined diamonds? Are they more affordable? More sustainable? And what’s the catch (if there is one)?
Jamie shares her journey as a disruptor in a legacy industry, breaking down misconceptions, shifting cultural expectations, and redefining what luxury looks like in a climate-conscious world.
If you’ve ever been curious about conflict-free sparkle — or just love a good behind-the-scenes business story — this one’s for you!
P.S. We mention a few times that a man may be in search of a ring to propose to his partner - and whilst this was talking in general terms, we absolutely recognise that anyone can propose to anyone. If you found our language clumsy, please tell us where we could improve.
P.P.S We're devastated to tell you that we did not walk away with a party bag... but we did have a proper good gossip with some champagne when the cameras stopped rolling daaarllling!
