Named after founder Meg Strachan's grandmother – a lifelong jewellery collector with impeccable taste – Dorsey launched in 2019 with a mission to democratise the kind of pieces previously reserved for red carpets and country clubs. Its four-prong Rivière necklace has been spotted on Taylor Swift, Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber, and the brand has sold over a million lab-grown stones – none of them in engagement rings. They’re entirely for the woman who buys jewellery for herself.

The retail arm of Diamond Foundry – backed by Leonardo DiCaprio – VRAI grows each stone in plasma reactors powered by 100% renewable hydropower. Worn by Cara Delevingne and FKA Twigs, it’s collaborated with Balmain, Givenchy and Stella McCartney. There's a London showroom for those who want to see the pieces in person.

The range of this B Corp-certified mother-daughter brand spans diamond alternatives including moissanite and cubic zirconia but – featuring IGI-certified stones set in 18k gold – it’s the lab-grown collection that truly shines.
