Nathalie Morrison, founder of lab-grown diamond jeweller Astrea London, believes demand for the gems will continue to grow rapidly. She says manmade gems now account for 20 percent of the diamond market, up from just 1 percent in 2015.

Morrison has a vote of confidence from actress Sarah Jessica Parker, the brand’s new global creative director, and is opening boutiques and a lab in the UAE.
