When I was a child, I loved walking down the street and pausing in front of jewelry store windows, staring quietly at those glittering diamonds. They felt like a secret treasure exclusive to adults, and I secretly made a wish in my heart: when I grow up, I must have a sparkle that belongs to me.

 

However, when I truly stepped into society, I realized reality is nothing like a fairy tale. Those shining dreams in the windows were still out of reach. Even so, I still held onto a simple wish—to own at least a one-carat diamond ring in my lifetime.

 

“A diamond is forever”—an engagement ring is the romance in every girl’s heart. When the day of my proposal came, I opened the ring box with full anticipation… yet a thought suddenly crossed my mind: where is my magnifying glass? Anyone who’s planned a wedding knows the costs are far from trivial. For the sake of our future life, I could only smile and accept it, tucking my dream away in my heart for the time being.

 

Years later, through unremitting efforts, I finally fulfilled that wish at the age of fifty—owning a one-carat diamond that was truly mine. When I put it on my finger, it sparkled with an irreplaceable sense of contentment. But deep down, I knew the price of this sparkle was not light. Life shouldn’t be spent striving for just one single glow.

 

It wasn’t until a few years ago that I chanced upon a manufacturer of lab-grown diamonds. When I saw their products for the first time, I was simply stunned: technology had actually made dreams within reach! To the naked eye, lab-grown diamonds are nearly indistinguishable from natural diamonds in terms of luster and brilliance, yet their price is only one-tenth that of natural ones. This means there’s no need to wait or settle anymore—if you desire something beautiful, you can have it right now.

 

It’s a woman’s nature to love beauty, and to adore shining gemstones. Instead of sacrificing your life for a single diamond, choosing a lab-grown diamond allows you to satisfy the romance in your heart while saving more resources for other beautiful things in life.

 

That’s the original intention behind my founding of Linkest—to let every woman become a smart consumer while spoiling herself. Because beauty and dreams shouldn’t be unattainable luxuries, but accessible parts of everyday life.
