Karat Bulgaria - with Karat sparkle in the eyes.

The company's story began years ago with a love at first sight - a love that is resistant to time, a love that brings happiness, inspiration, even admiration - the love of diamonds .

Everyone has heard of them, famous people like Marilyn Monroe, Monica Bellucci, Mark Twain and many others talk about them. Their phrases like "Diamonds are a girl's best friend", "I love jewelry - gold and diamonds. I am a woman" come to mind, but for most people they are something inaccessible, although dreamed of. Many people do not even allow themselves to think about whether to please themselves or someone else with a diamond piece of jewelry - whether a man or a woman.

Phrases imposed by large monopoly corporations such as "A diamond ring should be equal to at least two gross monthly salaries" force some men, in their desire to show their devotion and promise eternal love, to buy expensive diamond engagement rings, barely managing to afford a small stone, which is often of particularly low quality.

Of course, this is a highly emotional purchase and everyone would invest a lot in the symbol of love, trusting the sellers. On the other hand, the sellers are practical in their sales and know that the purchase is based on blinding love, the customer probably does not have enough information, makes their first and last order with them and often takes advantage by resorting to not very ethical methods.

The diamond market has changed radically in the last 5 years

As far back as 1797, the English chemist Smithson Tennant demonstrated that diamonds are a form of carbon. They are formed under high pressure, high temperature and in the presence of carbon. Since 1940, the U.S., the Soviet Union and Sweden have been working on the production of diamonds, culminating in success in 1953. Man-made diamonds are identical to those dug from a mine, and are even purer because of the controlled environment. "The difference is like ice from a mountain and ice from a freezer." At the dawn of diamond production, it was not possible to create sufficiently large stones and they were used only for industrial purposes, due to the enviable qualities of diamond - the hardest mineral, far ahead of the next in hardness, good conductivity, etc., so consumers did not even know about them.

We at Karat Bulgaria deal entirely and exclusively with jewelry with lab-grown diamonds. We provide direct access to the Bulgarian consumer to this revolutionary product - lab-grown diamonds, striving to be your trusted partner and leader in the field in Bulgaria.

The revolution in the jewelry business has begun - diamonds are being created that can also be used for jewelry, identical to those dug from a mine, recognized as diamonds by gemologists and certified as diamonds by the same old, world-renowned institutions, according to the same criteria and characteristics, but without such destruction of nature, dangerous working conditions, "blood diamonds" and many other practices that, above all, are additional costs and increase their price.

Why aren't only lab-grown diamonds sold when there is an identical and better alternative?

There are two main reasons. The first is that when a corporation, merchant or jeweler has an inventory of mined diamonds worth millions or billions of dollars, they would like to sell them without taking a loss and do so, even when it is at the expense of the customer and he has to remain in the dark about the possibilities. The second is because of the outdated traditions that have prevailed - the diamond must have been mined and obtained with 'sweat and blood' (and a lot of money) to be proof of love. Last but not least is the relationship with customers - in some cases jewelry stores 'deny' lab diamonds because they have been selling mined ones for a long time and their prices are particularly high. In case they decide to offer lab diamonds, some of their customers would feel cheated - Why did you sell me a diamond for $10,000.00 years ago, and now you are offering an identical one for $1,500.00 - you have cheated me!

For us, at Karat Bulgaria, these arguments are easy to refute , because we approach carefully and transparently, providing detailed information. It is no coincidence that the market share of laboratory diamonds is expected to grow to as much as 25% in 2025, with nearly half of engagement rings featuring a laboratory diamond in 2024, of which you can be a part. Corporations have a problem - to solve it at their own expense, and for us the symbol of love should be "pure", to wear it with pride and if, for example, we assume 5000lv. budget, we can buy a small mined stone with low characteristics, for example 0.4 carat SI or 5 times larger, downright huge, man-made diamond, for example 2 carat VS, with far more enviable qualities , which will really impress and be seen from afar or buy one with similar qualities and save more than half the money for good times, a honeymoon, an investment in the couple's future or anything for the benefit of the shared future. The choice is now yours!

For us, mined diamonds remain a thing of the past , and that is why we created CARAT BULGARIA , where diamonds are now accessible, providing an opportunity for you to fall in love too !

Why choose lab-grown diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds are as real as mined diamonds – physically, chemically and optically identical . The main difference is their origin. Our diamonds are created in state-of-the-art facilities using cutting-edge technology that mimics the natural process, taking weeks instead of billions of years. This innovative approach gives us diamonds with the same brilliance and durability as mined diamonds, but with a fraction of the environmental impact. By choosing lab-grown diamonds, you are making a sustainable choice. Traditional diamond mining can damage ecosystems, disrupt communities and leave a high carbon footprint .

Lab-grown diamonds - diamonds that are modern, ethical and affordable

Despite their many advantages, lab-grown diamonds still face a certain stigma – outdated and misguided beliefs about their quality or authenticity. Let’s get the truth out of the way: lab-grown diamonds are not “fake.” They are identical to diamonds mined from the ground – physically, chemically and optically, and are defined and certified as diamonds by the same globally recognized institutions that certify natural diamonds and according to the same criteria, but there is one key difference – they reflect a modern, progressive choice. Plus, lab-grown diamonds offer fantastic value for their price. Because they require less labor and transportation costs, lab-grown diamonds are typically more affordable. This allows you to get a larger , higher quality diamond without breaking your budget. Discover the beauty and value of lab-grown diamonds

What is a good thing to check before buying?

The four C 's ( Carat weight, Clarity , Colour and Cut ) of diamonds:

Every diamond, whether lab-grown or mined, is evaluated based on the 4 Cs — cut, color, clarity, and carat. These fundamental factors determine the quality and beauty of a diamond.

Cut : The cut determines how well a diamond reflects light, creating that famous sparkle. A well-cut diamond increases its brilliance and value.

Color : The color of a diamond ranges from colorless to light yellow or brown. The less color a diamond has, often the rarer and more valuable it is. Our lab-grown diamonds are available in a wide range of grades to suit your preferences.

Clarity : Clarity measures the presence of any internal or surface imperfections under 10x magnification. Lab-grown diamonds typically have fewer impurities, meaning you can enjoy higher clarity at an affordable price.

Carat : The weight of one carat is 0.2 grams. Since lab-grown diamonds are more affordable, you can opt for larger stones without compromising on quality or price.
