State-by-State Guide: Popular Lab-Grown Jewelry Trends in the USA

By Jewelnests – Handcrafted Ethical Jewellery, Proudly Made in Canada

Lab-grown diamonds and ethical jewellery are more than just a trend — they’re reshaping how Americans shop for fine jewellery. Across the United States, tastes and styles are evolving, with each state bringing its own flavour to the lab-grown jewellery boom.

At Jewelnests, our Canadian-made, lab-grown diamond collections are reaching more U.S. customers than ever before — and we’ve noticed something exciting: different states are embracing distinct design aesthetics, values, and trends when it comes to lab-grown pieces.

Here’s a state-by-state look at what’s hot in lab-grown diamond jewellery across the USA — and how your state might be shaping the future of ethical luxury.

🗽 New York: Minimalist Meets Modern Glam

In the Empire State, especially NYC, lab-grown jewellery is all about sleek minimalism with a fashion-forward edge. Think solitaire engagement rings with ultra-thin bands, bezel settings, and East-West diamond orientations. Customers here are drawn to custom pieces that match their individual style while staying aligned with eco-conscious values.

Popular pick: Lab-grown emerald-cut engagement rings with platinum bands.

🌴 California: Sustainability First, Always

California is a trailblazer in ethical consumerism, so it’s no surprise that lab-grown diamonds are booming here. Shoppers from Los Angeles to San Francisco want statement pieces with a sustainable story. Recycled metals, conflict-free diamonds, and eco-packaging are top priorities.

Popular pick: Lab-grown oval or pear-shaped diamonds on recycled yellow gold bands.

🌻 Texas: Bigger Stones, Bold Style

Everything’s bigger in Texas — including engagement rings. Texans love large centre stones, often accented with side stones or halos. But there’s also a growing preference for lab-grown diamonds as customers become more conscious of ethical and environmental concerns.

Popular pick: 2+ carat round lab-grown diamonds with diamond pavé bands.

🌲 Washington: Nature-Inspired and Ethical

Washington state customers are leaning toward earthy and organic styles. Lab-grown diamonds in nature-inspired settings, like leaf or floral motifs, are popular. Buyers often choose ethical materials like recycled gold and conflict-free stones to match their eco-conscious lifestyles.

Popular pick: Lab-grown marquise or rose-cut diamonds in botanical settings.

🏞️ Colorado: Rustic, Refined, and Responsible

In Colorado, jewellery preferences tend to reflect the state’s outdoorsy vibe. Couples here love alternative ring styles, including moss agate accents, rough-cut lab-grown stones, or geometric shapes. Ethical sourcing is a top concern.

Popular pick: Custom lab-grown diamond rings with matte-finish recycled bands.

🧡 Florida: Tropical Elegance

Florida’s lab-grown jewellery trends lean toward bright, bold, and beach-ready. Shoppers gravitate toward colourful settings (think rose gold or mixed metals) and love tennis bracelets, statement earrings, and fine jewellery that doubles as everyday wear.

Popular pick: Lab-grown diamond halo studs or stackable eternity bands.

🏙️ Illinois: Classic with a Twist

In cities like Chicago, traditional styles are still strong — but with a modern twist. Think lab-grown round diamonds in cushion halos, or vintage-inspired detailing paired with sustainable sourcing. Practicality and elegance meet in every piece.

Popular pick: Lab-grown round diamonds with art deco-style detailing.

🐎 Kentucky & Tennessee: Rustic Meets Romance

In the heart of the South, there’s a rising appreciation for handcrafted and custom-made jewellery. Many couples are turning to lab-grown diamonds as a more ethical alternative, especially for heirloom-style rings and wedding bands.

Popular pick: Lab-grown cushion-cut diamonds in antique-style settings.

🗻 Arizona & New Mexico: Earthy, Artisanal, and Unique

In the Southwest, shoppers love artisan-inspired lab-grown jewellery that feels personal and one-of-a-kind. Mixed gemstones, raw textures, and handcrafted finishes are common. There’s also a strong emphasis on eco-friendly and ethical materials.

Popular pick: Lab-grown diamond stackable rings with hammered or textured bands.

🎡 Ohio, Michigan & Pennsylvania: Practical Meets Personal

In these states, practicality often drives engagement ring choices — but not at the expense of beauty. Couples are increasingly choosing lab-grown diamonds for their value, quality, and ethical transparency.

Popular pick: Round or princess-cut lab-grown diamonds in classic solitaire or three-stone settings.

🎉 Massachusetts & Connecticut: Heritage-Inspired with a Modern Ethos

In the historic Northeast, many buyers opt for timeless, heirloom-inspired jewellery that tells a story. Lab-grown diamonds are popular for those wanting tradition with a modern ethical twist.

Popular pick: Vintage-inspired rings with lab-grown centre stones and intricate engraving.

🇺🇸 The Nationwide Trend: Conscious, Custom, and Canadian

• “Where was this diamond sourced?”
