iBling Jewels and Dvik Jewels are expanding their vintage-style lab-grown diamond jewellery collections in the UAE as demand grows for heritage-inspired designs across the region.
Jewellery retailers in the UAE and wider Gulf market are witnessing increased interest in old-cut diamond styles such as Old Mine Cut and Old European Cut, particularly in bridal, occasion and customised jewellery categories.

Unlike modern precision-cut diamonds, old-cut stones feature broader facets and softer light reflection, characteristics associated with pre-industrial jewellery craftsmanship. Retailers say these designs are increasingly being incorporated into engagement rings, pendants and statement earrings.
The trend reflects a wider shift toward personalised luxury products and antique-inspired aesthetics in the regional jewellery market. Market observers note that younger buyers in the Gulf are showing stronger preference for jewellery designs with a distinct visual identity and historical influence.
The development also comes as the Middle East’s lab-grown diamond market continues to expand, supported by rising consumer awareness, growing availability of customised jewellery and increased interest in alternative luxury products.
According to jewellery retailers, demand for bespoke orders featuring old-cut lab-grown diamonds has increased in recent months, particularly in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, where bridal jewellery and ceremonial gifting remain key drivers of luxury purchases.
Vintage-inspired collections have also gained visibility globally through fashion campaigns, celebrity styling and luxury retail showcases, further supporting interest in antique-style designs.
The trend is prompting brands operating in the segment, including iBling Jewels and Dvik Jewels, to expand collections focused on antique-style diamond cuts and contemporary settings.
Industry analysts expect demand for vintage-inspired lab-grown jewellery to continue growing as consumers across the Middle East seek customised designs that combine traditional aesthetics with modern jewellery formats.
