Steve and the Puppy

Trigger warning: Steve Rogers, mention of animal abuse, rescue dogs, puking, pregnancy reveal, fluff

Summary: Steve and you move into your lake house and adopt a puppy.

Steve is carrying the last few boxes from the moving van into the house. We spent the night at a motel, and left promptly before sunrise. I'm busy making sure that each box is in each room. I'm busy unpacking the kitchen boxes, and putting the plates in the dishwasher. Then, I unpack the silverware and load that in the dishwasher.

Steve contacted the water company and the electric company to turn on the water, the heat and the air conditioning, and the electricity.

The lake house Steve and I purchased is in a nice, little area that's close to the newer compound upstate. The house across the lake has just been sold to Tony. Tony and Pepper recently got married, and we were in the wedding. Steve and I have been together for four years, and Steve is home more often now. I'm home more often these days, too. I took a back seat from missions, and it feels nice. Steve and I just want to enjoy this time right now.

"That should be the last of it," says Steve, who is carrying the last box.

I look at the engagement ring on my finger. I look at the matching wedding band on Steve proposed last fall on my birthday, and he proposed with his mother's ring.

Steve's wedding band briefly catches the sunlight, and we're standing in our kitchen. We just returned from our honey moon in Rome, and we're moving from the city into a lake house. I slept on the ride up here, and I had to tell Steve to stop a few times so that I could throw up. I've been feeling very queasy and nauseous.

"Doll, are you okay?" asks Steve, as he's rubbing soothing circles on my back.

"I think it's something I ate. But I should have kicked this ages ago. Don't these things last 24 hours, and your better?" I ask.

Steve picks me up, and carries me bridal style to the bedroom. He puts a trash can next to me, and I sleep for a bit. I wake up, feeling even more queasier and nauseated than I already have. I throw up in the trash can.

Steve comes back from his morning jog, carrying a dog in his arms.

"Steve, is that what I think it is?" I ask

"Yes. I think he's hurt", says Steve.

I immediately tell Steve to get in the car, and we're taking the dog to the vet. The dog is shaking, and moaning. It's too thin, and it's fur is all mattified. It looks pretty knocked around. If I could find his owners, I have no idea what I'd do, but to abuse an animal in this way is unforgivable. There's a special place in hell for animal abusers.

Steve and I take the dog to the local ASPCA. They thank us, and we just wait. I just start crying, and I have no idea why.

"Shh. It's okay, doll. They'll report this to the police," says Steve.

"But, I just want him to be okay," I say.

"He will be. The volunteer said that we found him in time. He looked pretty knocked around," says Steve.

"How can people be this cruel?" I say.

Steve puts his arms around me and holds me close. I sob for a little while longer, and then ask where the bathroom is. The kind volunteer points me to the bathroom. I throw up, and I'm sobbing on top of this.

We just wait. The vets that volunteer there do the exam, and they have various other tests that they have to put the dog through.

I throw up again. The next day at work, Tony finds me passed out, and immediately runs me to the medical bay, with me unconscious in his arms. He immediately gets Steve.

Steve is busy training new recruits when Tony calls him to the medical bay.

Tony made sure that Dr. Cho kept him updated at all times. Steve refused to leave my side.

"Oh, doll. I didn't know it was this bad," says Steve.

"I'll be-BLARGH!" I throw up in the barf bin.

"Well, (y/n), we found out why you've been so sick lately. You just returned from your honeymoon in Rome, correct?" asks Dr. Cho.

"Yes, but that was weeks ago," I say.

"When was your last period?" asks Dr. Cho.

"Two weeks before the wedding," I answer.

"According to your chart, that's correct," says Dr. Cho.

"Wait, Tony has JARVIS keep track of everyone's vitals?" says Steve.

"Yes, Mr. Rogers, including yours. For female employees, he even makes sure that JARVIS tracks their menstrual cycles," says Dr. Cho.

"We actually discovered a heart beat," says Dr. Cho.

Steve and I look at each other in confusion.

Dr. Cho shows me the ultrasound. I look at it still doesn't seem real.

"But, that can't be. Steve and I were careful," I say.

"Wait, she's pregnant? That can't be. We were being very careful," says Steve.

Steve leaves the room to collect himself. Tony stays, while Bruce makes sure that Steve is okay.

"Wait, so Capsicle's swimmers are still working?" says Tony.

"TONY!" everyone says

"Yes. Steve's altered DNA combined with (y/n) unaltered DNA made (y/n)'s symptoms intensify. Hyperemesis gravidarum is why (y/n) has been so sick lately," says Dr. Cho.

"Wait, I'm gonna be a mom? It still doesn't seem real," I say.

"How's Steve doing?" I ask.

"Steve is still trying to process all of this," says Dr. Banner.

"Okay. Can I have a photo of the ultrasound? Steve's birthday is in a few days, and I want to surprise him," I say.

"Sure," says Dr. Cho.

Dr. Cho gives me an envelope with the ultrasound inside it.

Bruce explains that my symptoms will be intensified, but that shouldn't stop me from carrying to term.

"As long as you keep your stress low, get plenty of rest, and eat plenty of food, and get plenty of exercise, you should be okay," says Bruce.

Steve kisses your hand, and you know that you'll be okay. It's such a small, but romantic gesture.

"I want to keep her overnight, just to be on the safe side. I gave her some doxylamine, and pyridoxine. That will help reduce the symptoms. I'm giving her a prescription for that," says Dr. Cho.

I'm released the next morning, with my new prescription in hand. Steve and I spend the night in the tower, so if I need to go to the hospital, me and Steve are right there.

Luckily, we don't have to make another hospital trip, yet. So, that afternoon, we head back to the lake house. When we get back, and get settled in, Steve and I nap. My phone rings, waking both of us up.

"Hello," I say.

"Is this (y/n) Rogers?" asks the volunteer.

"Yes, this is she," I say.

"The dog you and Steve Rogers found is fine. He's ready to be adopted by you guys. We tried to contact the owners, but they don't want him. We were wondering if you and Mr. Rogers would like him," says the volunteer.

Steve takes the phone from my hand, and speaks.

"Sure. I'll pick him up in an hour," says Steve.

"Great. See you then, Mr. Rogers," says the volunteer.

"Did you hear that, doll? We'll have a dog," says Steve.

"Steve, that's wonderful!" I say.

"I'll go pick him up, just go to the pharmacy and get that prescription filled," says Steve.

"Okay, but bring him home safe. Remember, you're carrying precious cargo," I say.

"Doll, you're carrying precious cargo inside you. Our baby is going to be the first baby of the Avengers," says Steve.

"Okay, I'll have Natasha take me to the pharmacy," I say.

"Nope, I'm taking you to the pharmacy," says Agent Coulson, who I didn't realize had been in the house.

"Steve let me in," says Coulson.

"Oh, Agent Coulson, I didn't realize you were here," I say.

"Yes, when you passed out suddenly, we were concerned. When it's was announced that you're carrying Steve's baby, I immediately insisted that I be informed immediately of anything you needed. Since you need to go the pharmacy, that's where I'm taking you. Steve and Tony insisted that I be informed of everything, including daily updates of your precious cargo," says Coulson.

"Okay, let me get my purse and the prescription slip," I say.

"Steve, I'll see you when I get home," I say.

"See you then, doll," says Steve, giving me a quick kiss.

I get in Phil's car, and Steve get's in our SUV. Agent Coulson takes me to Target, and I give them my prescription. I go to the pet department, and get a leash, a collar, a water bowl, a food bowl, a mat, and some potty pads. I even get some Blue Buffalo kibble, and some wet dog food. Phil helps me pick out some dog toys, and loads everything into the cart. My prescription is ready, and I pay for it.

"Phil, you didn't have to do this," i say.

"It's no problem. Anything for the mother of Steve's baby," says Phil.

"Can you help me pick out some onesies? Steve and I are going to Costco later, and I really want to break the news to him. I really want to do this my way," I say.

I already made some booties in pink, blue, and white that will go in the package.

I even get some pregnancy tests. I got some blank onesies, two white ones, a pink one, and a blue one. I got some acrylic pain in red, blue and white, and some brushes. Phil helps me paints them when we get home, and we put them out on the card table that had a large towel on it so that they can dry properly.

"Phil, I hope this goes over well. Steve's birthday is in a few days, and I'm super nervous about it," I say.

"Knowing Steve, he'll take the news well. You helped him adjust to the modern world, and you even helped him use the computer and a smart phone," says Phil.

"Thanks, Phil," I say, with a smile on my face.

I go to the bathroom to relieve myself, and I look a the tests. I'll take those in the morning when Steve goes out for his jog.

Meanwhile, Steve is busy picking up our new dog. He calls me to give me an update, they're just busy making sure that he's clean, and they're finishing up the vet check.

"It'll be a little while longer, they're just finishing up the vet check, to make sure that he doesn't have any diseases, or anything that would bring up immediate concern. The shelter kept him longer because he needed some calories, and they even bathed him. When the volunteers brought the dog out, the dog ran right up to Steve.

"Ready to go, pal?" asks Steve.

"Woof, woof," the dog barks.

Steve loads the dog in the SUV, and the dog is nervous. Eventually, he sees the his old house, and sinks down on the seat, a small growl escaping him.

"It's okay, pal," says Steve. The dog stops, and starts to look at Steve, with worry in his eyes.

"Nobody, and I mean nobody has the right to hurt you," says Steve.

'Shh, wait till you meet Mrs. Rogers," says Steve.

"In nine months, you'll meet our precious baby," says Steve.

The dog perks up when he hears the word baby, now he has all the more reason to protect someone smaller than he his.

Steve arrives home while Phil and I are prepping for dinner. Phil mentioned that Tony bought the house across the lake, and it's great that Tony cares. You knew that Tony cared, but never showed it. I thought he was the most arrogant, selfish jerk, but he was a softie deep down.

"Tony feels that since you're carrying Capsicle's baby, he feels the need to keep an eye on you. Capsicle's baby is precious cargo," says Phil.

"Knowing Tony, he probably called our baby Capsicle's spawn," I say.

"You can say that. He also wondered since given Caps age, it can't be easy having a baby with someone old enough to be a pensioner," says Phil.

Phil and I both laugh, because well, that's typical for Tony.

"Doll, I'm home," says Steve.

"Hi, Steve," says Phil.

"Agent Coulson, how are you?" says Steve.

"(y/n) and I are fine. I'm just helping her with some household chores," says Phil, who's helping me load the dishwasher.

"Who's this?" says Phil, kneeling down to pet our dog.

"This is the dog we rescued," says Steve.

"He needs a name," I say.

"How about Liberty?" says Phil.

"Okay, Liberty," says Steve.

"No, how about Freedom?" I say

"I like Liberty better?" says Steve.

"Wait, how about Phil?" I say.

"Phil does sound better," says Steve.

"Wait, no. Coulson!" I say.

Coulson barks, and he seems to love his name.

"I think Coulson loves his name," says Phil.

"Hi, Coulson," I say.

Coulson runs up to me, and plants himself on my feet. It's as if he knew immediately that I was carrying his new playmate.

"Someone likes you," says Steve.

"Bark," says Coulson.

"Steve, why don't we let Coulson get settled in here, and then we'll have dinner," I say.

"I better get going," says Phil.

"Please stay for dinner, Phil," I say.

"I don't want to impose," says Phil.

"Agent Coulson, you're not imposing, we'll have plenty," says Steve.

"No, I got to get back to the Tower, I have a meeting with Fury tomorrow," says Phil.

"I did get your invitation. I'll be here tomorrow for the Fourth," says Phil.

I'm feeling drowsy, so Steve picks me up, and carries me to the bedroom, and lays me in bed. Steve falls asleep next to me, holding me close to him. Coulson jumps up, and parks himself at my feet, and doesn't even leave my side.

After, Steve and I wake up. Steve fixes me some dry toast and some ginger ale to help me keep things down. Before bed, I'll take another pill.

Tomorrow, I'll finish wrapping Steve's present. Right now, Steve and I are going to make a Costco run, and I want him to have the pizza and a hot fudge sundae. We go, and get water, pop, seltzer water, toilet paper, some more dog kibble, some wet food, and tons of potty pads. We also get the burgers, hot dogs, and the chicken to grill. We get two huge bags of chips, some muffins, some potato salad, tons of ears of corn, and we then pay for the purchase. I get some pizza and hot fudge sundaes for both me and Steve. Steve loves the pizza, and I'm actually able to keep something down. It feels nice to eat without throwing up after twenty minutes. Steve is amazed with the size of the store.

Phil is watching Coulson, and when we come back home, Phil and Coulson are having a nice game of fetch, even though Coulson is more invested in it than Phil.

Steve and Phil tell me to go inside, and put my feet up, and eat. I put the pizzas in the house, and I put the sundaes in the freezer. I take one quick look at the onesies, and they're dry. I'll wrap them up in the morning.

Steve and I have our dinner and our dessert, and we start to discuss names. Steve and I agree on James Joseph if I'm having a boy, and we agree on Sarah Anne if I'm having a girl. Luckily, it's a boy. Steve is giving me a foot rub while I read my book. I fall asleep, and Steve carries me to the bedroom, and puts me in bed.

I wake up earlier than Steve. I have to pee, so I open the tests, and I take them. I cap them, and wait the three minutes to see the results. It's clearly positive, so I put the test back in the box, tape it back up, and I put it with Steve's present. I even wrap up the onesies, and put them in their properly colored packages. One package is blue, and the other package is pink. I place each bootie in the packages. One pair is pink and the other pair is white, and one pair is blue and the other pair is white. I put the onesies in the package, and I'll present them when we're ready to celebrate Steve's birthday after we have dinner.

Coulson follows me everywhere. He even follows me to the kitchen, where I make myself a piece of dry toast and some tea. Steve wakes up, and fixes himself some coffee.

"Good morning, doll," says Steve.

"Good morning Captain Handsome," I say.

"Still not feeling better?" says Steve.

"I will by September," I say.

"You mean, you have to wait this out," says Steve.

"For the most part, and I need to take my anti-nausea meds," I say.

Steve and I take Coulson for his morning walk. I make myself some peppermint tea. That helps my nausea, and Steve carries the poop bags. We come back, and I sleep for a bit. Later, Agent Coulson and Tony come over to help me set up. Pepper and I spend time together, but not without me throwing up at a few points. I take another anti-nausea pill.

The cookout goes well. Everyone is here

I present Steve with the packages, and he looks at me, in confusion, but gives me a knowing wink. He then opens the packages and removes the onesies. He then opens the envelope, and he sees the ultrasound. He puts his hand on my stomach, and gives me a loving kiss.

Everyone gathers around this small photo, and congratulates the both of you. Even Phil, who helped named Coulson.

Everyone leaves when all is said and done. Steve and I are so looking forward to this next chapter. Now with Coulson, our rescue dog, makes everything even better, and we have a lot more to look forward to. I think Coulson chose us, we didn't choose him. I chose Steve as my husband, and I chose Steve to be the father to our baby.

Steve and I fall in love even more.

Takarano Clan

The Takarano clan is one of the major heroic royal families in the world of the Giftedverse. Their dominant Gift is Jewelry Box, which allows for the manipulation of both gemstones and jewelry. Originating from Japan, they are descendants of two of the first Heroes in the world: Diamondhelm and Meta.

The family also owns both Takarano Incorporated, a Heroes equipment company, and Takarano Jewellers, a jewelry company.

Origins

During the beginning days of heroics, Diamondhelm and Meta were two of the first to legally become Heroes.

Diamondhelm's Gift to manipulate gemstones and cover himself in a strong crystalline armor while Meta's was manipulation of metals. The two were crime fighting partners until eventually becoming lovers.

Diamondhelm and Meta married in secret with her taking his last name of Takarano. A few years later, they had three children: triplets Ruri (Lazuli), Rubi (Lady Ruby), and Ogon (Master Gold)-- birthing the first generation of Takaranos.

When Ruri and Rubi's Gifts manifested, it was discovered that both Diamondhelm and Meta's Gifts had mixed to create a unique one, Jewelry Box. Ogon had his mother's Gift, but only with gold instead of all metals.

Ruri, Rubi, and Ogon continued in their parents heroic footsteps as they got older and became famous Heroes in their own rights. When they had their own children, it was discovered that they'd all inherited Jewelry Box whether as a Primary Gift or Secondary Gift.

As generations went on, Jewelry Box would sometimes merge with a Takarano's partner's Gift and create an entirely new one (i.e. Splendor's Midas Touch, Hime's Princess, Seisai's Brilliance) while others didn't inherit it at all; instead either getting Diamondhelm or Meta's powers.

While heroics was good, it wasn't paying the bills. Kintetsu Takarano, son of Lazuli and her husband Tomihiko Matsumoto, came up with an idea. Using the massive trust fund his father left him, Kintetsu used it to establish two companies: Takarano Incorporated and Takarano Jewellers. Takarano Inc would provide machinery and technology to mine diamonds and other gemstones which would then be used in Takarano Jewellers's pieces. However, the jewels would be enhanced using their Jewelry Box Gift.

The idea proved to be a massive success after a few ups and downs, and soon the family started raking in millions upon millions of dollars. Kintetsu was cited as the founder and first president of Takarano Incorporated while he handed control of Takarano Jewellers to his sister Shinju.

As heroics boomed and the demand for equipment became louder and louder, the family saw a new market they could enter. As for heroics itself, the family continued to become heroes with Kintetsu's cousins all being some.

In a bid to rebrand themselves as an equipment company, Takarano Inc held a "talent fair" for young and talented inventors from both Japan and around the world could come and showcase their talents. Several contestants and winners would later become employees at the company.

Within a few years after their rebrand, Takarano Inc became a top source for heroic equipment in both Japan and abroad. Kintetsu, knowing that greedy businessmen would try to get their hands on his hard earned fortune, created a clause in the deed to the company that said only a Takarano or either partner(s) can run the businesses before he died.

As technology advanced, Takarano Jewellers became one of the first companies to invest in lab grown jewels. They partnered with a lab specializing in the practice and began producing jewelry pieces with lab grown diamonds.

Notable Members

Diamondhelm & Meta: The ancestors of the Takarano clan. They were two of the first Heroes in the world.

Lazuli, Lady Ruby, & Master Gold: The first generation of Takaranos and the children of Meta and Diamondhelm.

Kintetsu Takarano: Kintetsu is the son of Lazuli and the founder of both Takarano Incorporated and Takarano Jewellers. Kintetsu was a business genius who made sure that his family would be set and secured for life.

Hiroko Takarano | Queen Diamond: The mother of Akitsugu Takarano and his siblings, as well as the great grandmother of Splendor, Hime Takarano, Seisai Hoshokura, Metalika, Crown, and more. She served as the family matriarch until her death. Hiroko personally trained her great grandchildren and other descendants.

Splendor's first daughter Hiroko Hitsugaya is named after her.

Akitsugu Takarano | Crystallo: The father of Glitz (Kimi Takarano) and Queen Jewel (Shiho Hoshokura) by his wife Josephina Prins Takarano. He's deceased by the time the canon happens but is remembered as a loving father and grandfather.

Akitsugu Hitsugaya, Splendor's 3rd son, is named after her late grandfather.

Kimi Takarano | Glitz & Shiho Hoshokura | Queen Jewel: The only children of Akitsugu and Josephina Takarano as well as the mothers of Splendor and Hime Takarano (Kimi) and Seisai Hoshokura (Shiho). The two actually owned an agency together before Shiho left to become a hero teacher. Kimi has retired from heroics while Shiho works as a professor at Monarch University, rival school to Templar.

Joou Hitsugaya | Splendor: The eldest daughter of Glitz and her husband Fan Zhìháo. She's quite successful in her own right as a fashion designer despite being the heir to two multimillion dollar companies.

Hime Takarano: Splendor's younger sister and Glitz's second daughter. A senior at Templar College of Heroics, Hime is determined to live up to her family's heroic legacy while also forging her own path.

Seisai Hoshokura: Shiho and Keizo Hoshokura's only daughter. Her and her cousin Hime were born only a few days apart from each other, thus making them the same age. She also attends Templar College of Heroics.

Philomena Steele | Metalika: Philomena is the daughter of Kanako Takarano and Sir Harrison Steele. The only way people identify her as Takarano is because of the two beauty marks - a common trait among the family. While her name on paper is Philomena Takarano since her parents divorced, she goes by her birth since she doesn't have the best relationship with her mother.

Kingsley Steele: Son of Kanako and Sir Steele, Kingsley is living his best life. Unlike his sister, he makes it known that he's a member of the Takarano family and wears his mother's maiden name with pride. While he does retain some relationship with his father, the two haven't really talked ever since the divorce.

Tiara Takarano | Crown Jewel: Tiara is the eldest daughter of Toshihiro Takarano and Madison Sinclair Takarano. Another who is simply living their best life. There's some tension between her and Splendor because while their both mixed race (Tiara is Japanese and Black Irish), Tiara has never really been bullied the way Joou was and she doesn't see that as fair (though she doesn't blame Tiara).

Shiroya Takarano | White Queen: Shiroya is the eldest daughter of Kosei Takarano and Adila Al-Yasiri. After sustaining a serious injury, Shiroya is on a hiatus from heroics until she fully recovers. She currently resides in France with her husband Silverwing (Émilien Hanegin).

Tetsuhiko Takarano | Masamune: Tetsuhiko is Shiroya's younger brother. He lives in his sister's shadow and it pisses him off. He uses his image as a super macho hero as a way to compensate for his inferiority complex.

Lab-Grown Engagement Rings Go Viral: TikTok’s Favorite Designs for Modern Couples

The Ring Is Just the Beginning

Let’s be real: in 2025, engagements aren’t just about rings—they’re about stories. And where are those stories being told? TikTok. Instagram. Pinterest boards filled with dreamy aesthetics and behind-the-scenes moments. The ring? It's still the centerpiece, sure—but it's also a character in a larger love story that needs to feel authentic, fresh, and yes, very you.

So it’s no surprise that lab-grown diamond engagement rings—once whispered about as the “cheaper alternative”—are now proudly flashing their brilliance on millions of fingertips... and on millions of phone screens.

But what’s really driving this shift? Let’s break it down, without the fluff.

Not Your Grandma’s Diamond (And That’s a Good Thing)

Here’s the thing: lab-grown diamonds aren’t knockoffs or synthetic fakes. They’re real diamonds. Like, chemically and optically identical to mined ones. Grown in high-tech labs using extreme pressure and heat (or a bit of plasma magic), they’ve got all the sparkle—minus the social and environmental baggage.

Honestly, the only difference? One took a billion years and a shovel. The other? Science and smarts.

And Gen Z is here for it.

This is a generation that asks, “Where did this come from?” before adding anything to their cart. When it comes to buying lab-grown diamonds, the appeal isn’t just about the lower price point (though, let’s be real, that doesn’t hurt). It’s about transparency, traceability, and... TikTok trends. Which brings us to the fun part.

TikTok Trends That Are Changing the Ring Game

You know that moment when someone opens a ring box on screen, the camera pans in slo-mo, and a perfect, glowy gem catches the sunlight just right? That’s not a mined diamond anymore.

From proposal reveals to wedding hacks, TikTok has become the ultimate ring inspo rabbit hole. And lab diamond rings? They're showing up in every flavor—minimalist, maximalist, vintage, avant-garde, you name it.

Here are some styles that are getting all the likes and “where did you get that?” DMs:

💍 1. Oval Solitaires with Skinny Bands

Simple, sleek, and endlessly scroll-worthy. Oval cuts elongate the finger, catch light like crazy, and pair perfectly with that ‘clean girl’ aesthetic.

💍 2. East-West Settings

Instead of the diamond sitting upright, it’s flipped sideways. Subtle? Yes. But that twist makes it feel edgy and custom without screaming for attention.

💍 3. Toi et Moi (You and Me) Rings

Two stones—often mismatched cuts—nestled side by side. It’s romantic, artsy, and full of symbolism. You know, just like your relationship.

💍 4. Hidden Halos

From the top, it’s classic. But tilt your hand? Surprise! A halo of tiny diamonds circles the base of the center stone. It’s like lingerie for your ring—nobody sees it but you, and that’s kinda the point.

💍 5. Lab-Grown Fancy Colors

Champagne, soft pink, icy blue—TikTok is loving nontraditional hues. They’re rare, but lab-grown tech makes them (relatively) affordable. And totally unique.

The Real Flex? Saying You Bought It Ethically

We’ve all seen the memes about Millennials “killing” industries and Gen Z “reviving” them with ethics and creativity. Diamonds are the latest to get the reboot.

Let’s be honest: traditional mining has a... complicated past. Labor issues, environmental destruction, murky supply chains. It’s not exactly the fairy tale most couples want to start their marriage with.

Lab-grown diamonds turn that narrative on its head. They’re traceable. They use less water and energy. Some companies even run on 100% renewable energy. So when you buy lab grown diamonds online, you’re not just getting a ring—you’re making a low-impact promise.

And in a world where people care as much about how something is made as what it looks like, that matters.

Let’s Talk Numbers (Because Love Has a Budget)

Alright, back to reality: most couples are dealing with rising costs everywhere—from rent to wedding venues. Shelling out ₹5–10 lakhs for a rock just... doesn’t make sense anymore.

Lab-grown diamond rings offer serious sparkle for 30–60% less than mined ones. That’s not a small thing. It means you can go bigger on the cut, custom design your setting, or—wild idea—put that money toward a honeymoon in Iceland, not interest payments.

And with brands like Carat & Kin offering fully certified stones (IGI, SGL, the whole shebang), you don’t have to worry about quality. You’re just skipping the middlemen and markup.

A Tangent on Online Shopping (Because We’ve All Been There)

Now, buying lab grown diamonds online used to feel risky. Like, “Will I get a plastic crystal in a velvet box?” risky. But the landscape has changed.

Today, online-first jewelry brands are leading the way in transparency and trust. Real-time customer support, 3D renders, lifetime warranties, even AR filters to try rings on from your phone—this isn’t your average e-comm checkout.

Plus, let’s face it: no mall jewelry store is gonna let you scroll, zoom, compare cuts, and Google “is radiant better than emerald” for 3 hours. Online? Go wild.

Wait—But Will It Last?

Short answer: yes.

Lab-grown diamonds are just as durable as mined ones. They’re rated 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, meaning they’ll handle years of dishwashing, gym sessions, and gesturing dramatically over brunch.

The only thing that won’t last? The stigma.

Even celebrities—Emma Watson, Meghan Markle, Zendaya—have been spotted with lab-grown bling. That’s not a coincidence. It’s a culture shift.

What’s the Catch?

Honestly, not many. If you’re planning to resell your ring someday (not romantic, but practical), resale values for lab-grown diamonds can be lower than mined ones. But here’s the twist: so are mined diamond resales. The minute you leave the store, that “investment” depreciates—lab-grown or not.

So maybe the real value is in buying something that actually reflects your values. Not your grandmother’s expectations. Not a jeweler’s upsell.

How to Buy Lab Grown Diamonds Without Losing Your Mind

Let me save you a few hours of clicking around:

Stick with certified sellers: Look for IGI or SGL certifications.

Get clarity on clarity: VS1 or better is a sweet spot—eye-clean without inflating the price.

Size isn't everything: A well-cut 1.2 ct will outshine a dull 2 ct any day.

Don’t sleep on custom: Many brands (ahem, Carat & Kin) offer bespoke rings at no extra charge.

Read the vibe: You’re not just buying a ring—you’re trusting a brand. Look for honest storytelling, strong reviews, and people who actually care about your experience.

Final Thought: It’s About More Than the Ring

At the end of the day—wait, scratch that. In this moment we’re living in, modern love is about conscious choices. Lab-grown diamond engagement rings aren’t just a trend on TikTok; they’re a cultural moment. A shift in what we value, how we buy, and what we celebrate.

Because sure, the sparkle matters. But the story behind it? That’s what people remember.

And if your forever starts with a stone grown with intention, wrapped in meaning, and captured in a 15-second reel with a vibey Lana Del Rey track playing in the background—well, we’d call that pretty perfect.Looking for the perfect lab diamond ring?Shop ethically.

Goldiam International Limited

Goldiam International Ltd was incorporated in 1986 and it is engaged in the business of manufacturing and exporting gold and diamond jewellery to global retailers.  The company is a supplier of natural diamond and lab-grown diamond jewellery to global retailers, departmental stores, and wholesalers.  Its product includes engagement rings, wedding bands, anniversary rings, bridal sets, earrings and pendants.  Goldiam has transitioned itself from a pure natural diamond in-store jewellery company to a major supplier of lab-grown diamond jewellery, with an omnichannel sales strategy.  The Co. is one of the few makers of diamond jewellery that is fully backward integrated across the supply chain of lab-grown diamond growing, cutting, jewellery manufacturing & distribution.  This ensures smooth communication, faster turnaround time, and an efficient product development cycle. 

Origem, the lab-grown diamond brand by Goldiam International Limited, commenced its retail journey on Oct 25, 2024, with the inauguration of its first store in Borivali, Mumbai.  This was Goldiam's first venture into direct-to-consumer retail, with the goal of providing innovative and sustainable jewelry options. Following the success of its debut, Origem expanded its footprint by opening a second store in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, in Dec 2024.  The brand further solidified its presence with a third flagship store on Jan 23, 2025, at Turner Road, Bandra West, Mumbai.  This rapid expansion underscores Origem's commitment to making lab-grown diamond jewellery more accessible to consumers seeking ethical and eco-friendly luxury.

 Thesis

Moving Away From Traditional Channels- Leading to Better Operational Efficiency

Goldiam International has a niche business model in jewellery; it is an OEM to renowned global retailers.  Goldiam manufactures the latest trend, high-value diamond-studded jewellery (engagement and anniversary rings, wedding bands, bridal sets, fashion pendants, necklaces, and earnings) in various designs and types and sells to leading global retailers, with a chain of stores as well as jewellery wholesalers, who, in turn, sell to smaller retailers.

Goldiam, which commenced operations in 1988, has established substantial brand equity and has received various awards from the government for being a pioneer and role model in jewellery exports.

The company made a conscious decision to move away from low margins business to better margins business.

The company has constantly evolved its business towards higher margins.  The constant innovation and backward integration have made Goldiam a preferred choice for a lot of vendors

Goldiam has fully backward integration capabilities, with an in-house design team that identifies the emerging fashion trends for manufacturing jewellery, and it sources diamonds with pre-requisite norms in terms of cut, clarity, colour and carat.  The company manufactures jewellery in-house and is among the few players with a patent for the laboratory-manufacturing process.

E-Commerce channel- strategic focus

Goldiam is focusing on the e-commerce platform to enable it to reach a more extensive section of retailers and reduce its dependence on wholesalers.  Besides the enhanced reach, e-commerce has higher margins and lower working capital days (10-30 days compared to 120-150 days for traditional sales channels).

Goldiam has also scaled up its online business in the last few years, contributing almost 20% of the top line.  In this business, the company caters to orders received via the e-commerce portals of large retailers.  These orders are directly shipped to the end client by Goldiam, reducing the retailer’s lead time and helping them optimise their inventory.  The transaction’s just-in-time nature and the handling of shipments help yield better margins versus bulk supply to physical stores.  This is a negative working capital business as the payment terms are better than supply to physical stores.

 E-Commerce could potentially be a game changer for the company (currently contributes ~20%), with a negative working capital cycle

How the E-Commerce business works

In times of COVID-19, people preferred to buy online, and the company is witnessing traction in e-commerce sales.  Goldiam has managed to take the digital channel to about 20% of sales in a short period and aims to increase this to 30-40% of revenue.

Online orders are processed and shipped faster than traditional brick & mortar orders, enabling the improvement of cash & cash equivalent.  This leads to adverse working capital requirements due to favourable payment terms and allows higher returns.  E-commerce reach empowers the company to cater to customers in regions with limited physical footprints.

Goldiam has a golden chance at Jewel Feet. The US jewellery market comprises prominent, organised players, accounting for nearly 60% of the market; the rest contains independent Mom & Pop jewellery stores.  While the penetration across large retailers is quite suitable for Goldiam, it has a limited presence across independent jewellers.  To address this market, the company has recently commissioned an e-commerce portal called JewelFleet.  This portal will let small jewellers order existing/custom designs (1000+ SKUs) which will be manufactured and shipped within seven days to the jeweller.

North American jewellery sales online Covid has accelerated the growth of E-Commerce for Jewellery in the American market, which is likely to continue going forward.

Advantage India – when it comes to exports to the American market

India majorly exports cut & polished diamonds, lab-grown synthetic diamonds, coloured gemstones, synthetic stone, plain and studded gold jewellery, silver & platinum jewellery, imitation jewellery and articles of gold, silver and others.  Western Region is a critical exporting hub for the gems and jewellery industry, contributing almost 77% of the total exports in 2021-22.

Gems and jewellery commodities export growth in 2021-2022 over 2019-2020

India is one the biggest exporters of gem and jewellery globally, accounting for 3.5% of the overall export opportunity.

India’s gems and jewellery exports account for about 3.5% of the world’s total exports, making it the seventh-highest exporter globally.  The country is ranked first in diamonds jewellery, silver jewellery and lab-grown diamonds & Synthetic stones with 29.0%, 22.0% and 32.7% share of the world’s exports, respectively.  India’s gems and jewellery exports stood at US$ 39.31 billion in the year 2021-22, which is higher than the pre-covid exports of US$ 35.60 billion in 2019-20, recording a growth of 10.44%.

India's gems and jewellery exports (US$ billion)

India exports gems and jewellery to the USA, Hong Kong, UAE, Belgium, Israel, Thailand, Singapore, the UK, Netherlands, Japan, etc.  The USA is the largest importer of Indian jewellery, with 2021-22 imports valued at US$ 14.5 billion, growing from US$ 8.7 billion of exports in 2020-21.

Export destinations

India is the biggest exporter to the American market

The US gets most of its diamonds from relatively few countries.  According to diamond trade statistics published by the United States International Trade Commission, more than half of the polished diamonds imported into the US in 2021 were from India.

Israel was the second largest source of polished diamonds imported into the US.  It accounted for a quarter of diamond imports by value.  Belgium was the third largest source, with another 9% of polished diamond imports in 2021.

Collectively, these three countries supplied 87% of US diamond imports.  Together with South Africa and Switzerland, five countries were the source of 92% of the diamond imports.

US polished diamonds imports by country, 2021 ( Top 10 )

Exports of polished lab-grown diamonds from India jumped about 70% in the April-July period to $622.7 million, while those of cut and polished mined diamonds fell around 3% to $8.2 billion during the same period.

Lab-Based Diamonds - Shining Bright

What are Lab-based Diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds are diamonds that were grown by scientists in a lab.  They share the same chemical makeup as natural diamonds and are optically identical.  The most significant differences between natural and lab-created diamonds are how they’re made and how rare they are.

Are they Real?

Laboratory-grown diamonds share an identical chemical makeup to natural diamonds, consisting of pure carbon in a cubic crystalline form.  The difference between lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds is how they are formed.  While lab-grown diamonds can be produced for a few weeks in a laboratory, natural diamonds form beneath the surface of the earth over millions of years. Initially, the acceptance of lab-grown diamonds was low as large diamond miners opposed it.  But in 2018, in a ruling by the Federal Trade Commission in the US, lab-grown diamonds earned the status of being called diamonds, making them officially optically, physically and chemically equivalent to natural diamonds; however, to make it easier to distinguish between the two and avoid deceptive advertisement – the origin of the diamond had to be mentioned (why they are termed Lab-grown diamonds)

How are lab-based diamonds made?

There are a few methods used to create lab-grown diamonds.  Typically, lab-grown diamonds start with a tiny lab diamond, like a seed.  The seeds are placed in a chamber called a plasma reactor (in the case of CVD synthesis) or a large mechanical press (if manufactured by HPHT).  Then, depending on the technology used, some combination of heat, pressure and a carbon source is used to make the crystals grow, layer by layer

The CVD Method- CVD stands for chemical vapour deposition Lab-grown diamond seeds are loaded into a CVD reactor.  Then, a mix of gasses containing carbon is added at very low pressure.  Microwave energy is used to heat the gases and generate plasma.  The gas molecule breaks down when the temperature rises above several thousand degrees

Are Ethical Sourcing and Sustainability the Future of Diamond Jewellery Manufacturing?

The diamond jewelry company has evolved dramatically recently with sustainability and ethical sourcing front stage. More and more consumers seek responsibility and transparency from diamond jewelry manufacturers, pushing a change toward more moral and environmentally friendly techniques. This blog looks at the United Kingdom (UK) market and how these trends impact future diamond jewelry manufacture.

The Rising of Ethical Sourced Gemstone Jewelry

Ethical sourcing in the diamond industry is obtaining diamonds that support fair working conditions, human rights, and less environmental impact. This approach addresses issues with conflict diamonds, sometimes known as "blood diamonds," which are sold to finance armed conflict against governments from mining sites of conflict.

In 2003, the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) was initiated to address this issue. Aiming to limit the flow of conflict diamonds, this global initiative demands certification of diamond exports as conflict-free. While the KPCS has made strides in reducing the trade of conflict diamonds, problems in ensuring complete openness and moral behavior still exist throughout the supply chain.

Many diamond jewelry manufacturers have gone beyond mere moral procurement to guarantee it. These include selecting lab-grown diamonds, eliminating the need for mining, investing in traceability systems, and dealing with suppliers who meet strict labor and environmental criteria.

Diamond Jewels Manufacturing: Sustainability

In jewelry manufacture, sustainability describes ecologically friendly techniques to reduce the industry's impact on the surroundings. This requires environmentally friendly mining, energy-efficient production methods, and recyclable materials.

Many diamond companies have started using post-mining ecosystem restoration, waste reduction, and renewable energy sources for mining operations, among strategies for reducing environmental impact. Certifications like the Kimberley Process and the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) help to ensure moral and fair diamond acquisition.

Apart from mining techniques, sustainability addresses industrial techniques. Exact designs with little material loss made possible by 3D printing and other technologies help to lower the total environmental impact.

Moreover, using recycled metal for jewelry production reduces the necessity of new mining operations, thus promoting environmental sustainability.

The UK Market: A Shift Towards Ethical and Sustainable Practices

Sustainability and ethical procurement have taken the front stage in the UK jewelry company. Consumers are giving companies that demonstrate a commitment to these values top importance, which is influencing UK jewellers' products.

One significant shift is the arrival of lab-grown diamonds. Since these diamonds are created in under-regulated settings, eliminating the ethical and environmental problems associated with traditional mining, even if they are technically and chemically identical to mined diamonds, helps solve both problems. Providing consumers with environmentally friendly luxury options, businesses such as Lark & Berry have pioneered lines of lab-grown diamonds.

Furthermore, cooperative initiatives between environmental campaigners and jewelry manufacturers are underscoring the need for sustainability. Emphasizing the need for environmentally friendly business practices, Dr. Jane Goodall joined Brilliant Earth to create a collection of recycled gold and lab-grown diamonds.

The Role of Certificates and Standards

Certifications are crucial for encouraging sustainability and ethical procurement in the diamond industry. Beyond the Kimberley Process, companies fulfilling rigorous ethical, social, and environmental standards are accredited by organizations such as the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC). Some companies use blockchain technology to increase supply chain transparency; these certifications ensure consumers that their products are obtained and made morally. This technology guarantees authenticity and ethical sourcing by allowing consumers to follow a diamond from its source to the completed product.

Customer awareness and demand

Consumers' growing awareness of ethical and environmental issues has significantly impacted the diamond jewelry market. Particularly millennials and Gen Z, today's customers are increasingly ready to back businesses that align with their social responsibility and sustainability values.

This shift in consumer behavior has made jewellery manufacturers in UK and elsewhere rethink their strategies. Businesses that overlook these changing preferences risk losing market share to competitors who give ethical procurement first importance.

Possibilities and Difficulties

The drive toward sustainability and ethical sourcing entails challenges, even if it presents many opportunities. Adopting sustainable practices can mean significant expenses in new technologies and methods. Maintaining openness across complex global supply chains depends on robust monitoring and verification techniques.

These challenges, therefore, also give opportunities for creativity. Companies that successfully combine ethical and environmental practices can stand out in the market, build closer consumer loyalty, and help improve the surroundings and society.

Today, consumers, especially Millennials and Gen Z, tend to consider factors such as sustainability, ethical sourcing, and transparency when buying. As a result, lab-grown diamonds have become more in demand across the United States and other countries.

Lab-grown diamonds are an ethical alternative to mined diamonds, free from the environmental degradation and ethical concerns often associated with traditional diamond mining. Their appeal lies in their ability to deliver luxury without compromise, making them a top choice for consumers seeking responsible luxury.

2. Affordability Without Sacrificing Quality

One of the main advantages of lab-grown diamonds is their affordability. They are generally 30-40% less expensive than their mined counterparts, and consumers can buy larger, higher-quality stones in the same budget.

For example, lab grown diamond rings are an excellent option for couples who would love to spend less on a magnificent ring that was not possible with mined diamonds. The benefit of the low price opened doors for lab-grown diamonds in the market. 

3. Technology Advancement

Continuous innovations in the technology for growing diamonds through Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) have resulted in improved quality and scalability in the production of lab-grown diamonds. As a result, more flawless, larger diamonds in different shapes and colors have been produced for different consumer preferences. 

4. Penetration into New Markets and Applications

The lab-grown diamond market mainly targets the jewelry sector; however, they are increasingly finding new applications in various industries such as technology and manufacturing. The jewels have great thermal conductivity and resilience, which gives them an ideal application in the semiconductor industry and high-performance tools in quantum computing.

The new growth opportunities of this market include applications beyond the luxurious goods of lab-grown diamonds.

Barriers Facing the Lab-Grown Diamond Market

1. Perception and Misconceptions

Lab-grown diamonds have garnered significant attention of late but, despite that, consumers make certain misgivings in this regard. Most believe them to be fake or not even up to par with the diamonds mined.

 This can only be rectified with the help of proper education from the part of consumers on their authenticity and quality. There will be better representation about lab-grown diamonds for ethical and sustainability purposes to gain more market consideration.

2. Market Saturation and Pricing Pressures

More and more manufacturers entered the lab-grown diamond market; thus, its supply increase lowered the price level. Even though this situation increases the access for consumers, the producers and the retailers feel some pricing pressure because of this condition.

Profitability can only be sustained by emphasizing branding, innovation, and better quality to make differences in offerings between companies. One can brand them as carbon neutral or able to customize designs, among other aspects, in an effort to maintain a competitive position in the marketplace.

3. Lack of Standardized Certification

Organizations, such as the Gemological Institute of America, have certification to the lab-grown diamonds but, as it is still, not standardized among all the producers in the industry. Different certifications result in confusion within consumers and may deter trust with the product. Certification needs to be very clear and consistent; this will contribute to consumer trust and the continued prosperity of the industry in lab-grown diamonds.

4. Sustainability Concerns

Though marketed as an eco-friendly alternative, the production process of lab-grown diamonds can be energy-intensive, especially if fueled by nonrenewable energy sources. Critics argue that the environmental benefit of lab-grown diamonds depends on the energy source powering their production facilities.

To address this challenge, producers must prioritize the use of renewable energy and adopt sustainable practices throughout their operations. Transparency about carbon footprints and environmental impacts will also be essential for maintaining consumer trust.
