Hartine Inception History
Started in 2023 by couple, Caroline & Siddharth, over an argument to
exchange the diamond ring proposed to her by him due to low color and clarity
for a whiter and larger size diamond.
Siddharth got researching on the internet for
designs and brands to find her the ring that would make her happy and not burn his pocket.
Upon learning about Lab-Grown Diamonds (LGDs) and its benefits, he knew he could achieve both his
objectives. The couple was intrigued and flew to Surat, the diamond capital of
India to learn more about LGDs and their benefits to the buying customer and
the environment.
The impressive cost, sustainability and conscious aspect of LGD’s led them to decide on promoting Lab-grown Clean diamond jewelry in India and the world through a brand of their own named after an amalgamation of their names to give
birth to Hartine.

Lab-grown diamonds offer several environmental benefits compared to traditionally mined diamonds. Here are some of the key advantages:
1. Reduced Carbon Footprint
LGDs are created in controlled
laboratory environments using advanced technology, resulting in significantly lower carbon emissions.
2. Conservation of Natural Resources
By opting for lab-grown diamonds, the demand for mining decreases, reducing the need for land disruption and preserving natural resources.
3. Water Conservation
Diamond mining requires substantial
amounts of water for various processes. LGDs, on the other hand, have a much
lower water footprint, as they do not require significant water usage.
4. Avoidance of Ecological Disruption:
LGDs eliminate the need for mining altogether, thus avoiding these negative environmental impacts and preserving ecosystems.
5. Elimination of Harmful Chemicals
LGDs are produced using a controlled chemical vapor deposition or high-pressure, high-temperature process, which does not involve harmful chemicals.
6. Recyclability and Reusability
Lab-grown diamonds can be recycled and reused, further reducing the environmental impact. They can be repurposed in various jewelry pieces or industrial applications, contributing to a more
circular and sustainable economy
It's important to note that while lab-grown diamonds offerenvironmental advantages, they still require energy for production, and themanufacturing processes themselves can have associated environmental impacts.However, compared to traditional diamond mining, lab-grown diamonds aregenerally considered to be a more environmentally friendly alternative.
