H&M and IKEA link up on large-scale study within recycled textiles

Europe gets Trump -wake-up call-, but can it step up-

The day before, one of the EU’s leaders had confided a contingency plan of “crossing ourselves and praying”.

Top jewellery CEOs say lab-grown diamonds are fashion, not luxury

Even De Beers, the world’s largest diamond company, entered the synthetic diamond market in 2018 after having pledged for years never to sell man-made diamonds.Lab-grown diamonds possess the same chemical composition and physical characteristics as natural diamonds but unlike mined diamonds, limitless quantities can be produced. A tiny piece of carbon is put into a plasma reactor at very high heat and gradually the tiny crystal grows. After several hundreds of hours, it is big enough to be cut into a polished stone.

“For me, synthetic diamonds have little to do with the world of luxury,” Tiffany boss Alessandro Bogliolo said in an interview at …
