Disruptive lab-grown diamond jewelry brand Lark & Berry created a 15-piece cultured stone jewelry collection in collaboration with Vikings actress Alicia Agneson. A decision to become more environmentally conscious led Agneson to discover the brand and with this collaboration, the 23-year-old actress aims to "help open eyes to cultured stones." Like Agneson, other Millennials are turning to lab-grown diamonds for their ethical and sustainable qualities, as well as their affordability.
The collection of fine jewelry pieces includes designs in 14ct yellow gold and 18ct white gold, many of which feature colorful stones with unusual cuts. Across the L&B x Alicia collection, there are delicate leaf motifs that are designed to wrap around fingers and dangle from bracelets and earrings.
