Pandora is expanding its synthetic-diamond jewelry collections to Spain and Italy, where their debut will coincide with the opening of new flagship stores in Barcelona and Milan.<\/p>\n
The move \u201cmarks another step in Pandora\u2019s ambition to democratize diamond jewelry,\u201d the Danish jeweler said<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n Pandora opened the Barcelona store, its third flagship, on June 12, while the Milan store launched on June 26. It also has flagships in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Las Vegas.<\/p>\n The Barcelona location, located on the fashion avenue Passeig de Gracia next to Gaud\u00ed\u2019s Casa Batll\u00f3, spans 175 square meters. It will be the only Pandora store in Spain to carry lab-grown diamonds, the jeweler explained. Meanwhile, the Milan shop, on the corner of Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and Piazza San Babila is 250 square meters and comprises two levels. In Italy, the collection is available at the new flagship and in 40 stores across the country, as well as online.<\/p>\n Pandora first introduced<\/a> lab-grown diamonds in 2021, to appeal to a wider audience and make its jewelry more affordable, it said. The first collection had a small trial in the UK before launching<\/a> in North America. In 2024, the company expanded<\/a> into Europe. With this new release, Pandora will have synthetics lines in the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Spain and Italy.<\/p>\n Last month, Pandora released a report<\/a> claiming the carbon footprint for its lab-grown diamonds was 90% lower than natural, and stating it was adding a \u201cfifth C,\u201d for carbon footprint, alongside the traditional 4Cs: cut, carat, color and clarity. Following that, the Natural Diamond Council (NDC) pushed back<\/a>, questioning the comparison figures Pandora used to support that claim.<\/p>\n Images: Pandora lab-grown diamonds and jewelry (top left); Pandora\u2019s new Barcelona store (bottom left); Pandora\u2019s new Milan shop (right).
