Our Story
At Karat Lab, we believe that diamonds should be a joy, not a luxury only for the few. For decades, the diamond trade, led by monopolies like De Beers, controlled diamond prices, making it nearly impossible for many to afford even the simplest engagement ring. While diamonds are beautiful and enduring, we don’t think they should come with an unreasonable price tag.
Founded in Dubai in 2020, Karat Lab is here to democratize diamond ownership. We’re breaking down barriers, ensuring you can buy diamond jewelry for its brilliance, durability, and beauty—without worrying about cost.
We stand by our tagline: Real Diamonds for Real People. Whether you’re celebrating life’s big moments or indulging in everyday luxury, we’re here to make diamonds accessible to everyone. Because every story deserves a sparkle.
Specializing in Lab Grown Diamonds
At Karat Lab, we specialize in lab-grown diamonds specifically, offering our customers a stunning and ethical alternative to mined stones at a more accessible price. We take pride in providing IGI-certified diamonds without compromising on quality or conscience.
Our passion lies in creating custom-made engagement rings, working closely with each client to design the ring of their dreams. At Karat Lab, we believe every piece should reflect your unique story, crafted with beauty, durability, and a commitment to making diamonds available for all.
Letter from the Founders
We founded Karat Lab in 2020 with a vision: to break down the barriers in the diamond industry and make diamond ownership accessible to all.

We’ve built our brand on transparency and trust, offering IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds that provide the same beauty as mined stones, but at a fraction of the price. By combining modern design with time-honored craftsmanship, we create jewelry that speaks to your personal story, all while maintaining a commitment to ethical practices.
At the heart of Karat Lab is you, our client. Every piece of jewelry we create is thoughtfully crafted with your unique vision in mind. Whether it’s a custom-made engagement ring or a gift to mark a special moment, we are honored to be part of your journey.
