Why Astrea

A symbol of purity

The name ‘Astrea’ originates from the Greek virgin goddess of justice, innocence, purity, and precision. In Latin, it quite simply means “star”. For all these beautiful meanings, we believe it was a perfect name for our lab diamond company.

Proven to be purer

Lab diamonds represent a revolution in an industry plagued by destructive and unethical practices. They have proven to be purer than their mined counterparts and are today’s leading example of precision, accuracy and unprecedented success in the world of science and technology.

After years of the mined diamond industry trying to discredit the competition from lab diamonds, the truth was finally recognised by the FTC (The Official Federal Trade Commission) in this public statement in 2018 “A diamond is a diamond no matter whether it is grown in a lab or comes out of the ground.”

GIA then followed suit and began grading Lab diamonds with the same criteria as mined diamonds in 2019, acknowledging that there is absolutely no difference between the two other than their origin. As a result global experts forecast the end of the mined diamond industry within the next decade.
