Are lab-grown diamonds a girl's best friend?

What are lab-grown diamonds, and why are they becoming so popular? Lab-grown diamonds are becoming increasingly popular, with a recent survey showing nearly 70% of millennials are happy to consider them for an engagement ring.

We’re joined by Jodi Bradby, professor at the Research School of Physics and Engineering at the Australian National University; and Ronnie Bauer from the Jewellers Association of Australia.

In today’s Briefing, lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically and optically identical to mined diamonds, so how are they made, and are they more sustainable than traditional diamonds?

Headlines:

- Interest rate pain in lead-up to Christmas
- National Cabinet to meet Friday to discuss energy price caps
- Indonesia bans sex outside of marriage
- Watermelon prices skyrocket
