Hi,everyone! I‘m Julie, the founder of YuCan Diamonds.

It’s a pleasure to share my story with you here. As a girl born and raised in Henan, I’ve always believed that this ancient land holds amazing wonders. When I first learned that my hometown, Henan, has become the heart of the global lab-grown diamond industry, I was overwhelmed with pride and excitement.

 That‘s why I founded Yucan Diamonds—determined to let the world see Henan's craftsmanship and innovation through these sparkling diamonds.

 Henan: The Global Capital of Lab-Grown Diamonds

 Many might not know that 80% of the world’s lab-grown diamond production comes from China, and over 80% of that comes from Henan. In 2023, global lab-grown diamond rough output reached nearly 30 million carats, with about 10 million carats produced in Henan. Zhecheng County in Henan, known as the "Diamond City," alone produces 6 million carats annually, making it a vital force in the global lab-grown diamond sector.

 Henan's lab-grown diamonds aren’t just impressive in quantity—their quality is exceptional. They are chemically and physically identical to natural diamonds, much like "ice from a river" versus "ice from a refrigerator." Henan’s lab-grown diamonds often easily meet top-tier standards: VVS clarity, D color, and 3EX cut.

 The Mission of Yucan Diamonds.

 I founded Yucan Diamonds with three dreams:

 1. Fair Prices for All: I want consumers worldwide to enjoy truly high-quality diamond jewelry at fair prices, without overpaying for excessive markups. I’ve seen village aunts hesitate in front of jewelry store windows, and young graduates skimp and save for a tiny natural diamond ring. But the true meaning of a diamond was never about the price tag. It’s about the emotions it carries: a lover’s promise, a reward for oneself, a memento of a special moment. Lab-grown diamonds make this carrier of emotion lighter, letting more people own that sparkle without overpaying for markup.

2. Let Henan Diamonds Shine Globally: I aim to break the international brands’ monopoly on diamond discourse. Today, Henan’s lab-grown diamonds are already beloved by consumers in the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and beyond.

 3. Empower Through Diamonds: As a woman, I hope to convey true value through diamonds—dear girls, we should shine not just outwardly, but from within.

 Charity Commitment: Let Every Diamond Spread Love

 To me, a diamond's true value lies in its ability to brighten others' lives. That's why Yucan Diamonds pledges:

For every carat of diamond sold, we will donate 1% of the sales to charity, with a focus on girl protection and children’s education.

 I’ve already started participating in public welfare projects and plan to collaborate with organizations like Jewelers for Children in the future to support children in need. True brilliance isn’t just about a diamond’s sparkle—it’s about the hope it can ignite.

 Green and Sustainable: A Brilliant Future

 Choosing lab-grown diamonds is an eco-friendly choice:

 • They avoid the land destruction, soil erosion, and ecosystem damage caused by traditional diamond mining.

 • Their production uses far less energy and emits fewer carbon emissions than mining.

 • They steer clear of human rights issues and conflict diamond trades linked to mining.

 Yucan Diamonds is committed to further promoting green production practices and reducing our environmental footprint, so beauty no longer comes at the cost of Earth’s scars.

 Join Us on This Journey

The journey from Henan to the world may be long, but I believe good things will always be seen. Just as my hometown’s wheat fields bear plump ears, these lab-grown diamonds, nurtured by science, will surely shine in more people’s hands.

 Looking forward to sharing this sparkle with you, across mountains and seas.
