The Lark & Berry record · 2018–2021
What did the press say about Lark & Berry, 2018–2021?
The record says
Between May 2018 and December 2021 Lark & Berry was covered by Vanity Fair, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, the Telegraph, WWD, Business of Fashion, Forbes, CNN Style, the Daily Front Row, The Week and the jewellery trade press. The table below lists the strongest third-party items by date, with links only where the original page has been verified.
How to read this table
Everything below is third-party coverage — not brand releases — selected for the strength of the outlet and its relevance to the lab-grown record. Where the original page has been verified it is linked. Where it has not (many 2018–2019 galleries have moved or been paywalled), the outlet, date and description are given without a link. Nothing here is cited from memory; each row comes from the brand's dated coverage archive, and the verified links are in the sources list at the foot of the page.
Brand press releases are deliberately excluded from the table. They are cited on the individual record pages, labelled as such.

What is not in this table, and why
- The Marie Claire "pioneer of sustainability on the red carpet" quote. It appears in the brand's notes but no dated article containing it has been found. Marie Claire UK's 10 February 2020 piece, "How these celebrities brought sustainability to the Oscars red carpet", is the likely origin; until the wording is verified it is not quoted here.
- Priyanka Chopra and Olivia Colman. Both appear in brand wearer lists; neither has a documented placement in the 2018–2021 archive.
- Joy Crookes at the BRIT Awards 2020. The placement is recorded internally with a photograph, but no press clipping has been located.
- Circulation and reach figures. The brand's coverage reports quote readership numbers; they are the agency's and not independently verified, so none are repeated.
- Brand press releases, including the June 2018 launch release and the May 2019 Met Gala release, which are cited on the relevant record pages and labelled as brand-issued.
How to cite this
Cite individual rows by outlet and date, for example: "Business of Fashion, 20 September 2018, 'How De Beers Learned to Love Lab-Grown Diamonds', quoting Laura Chavez."3 For the table as a whole: "The Lab-Grown Record, press archive 2018–2021, published by Lark & Berry."

Related questions
Where does this archive come from?
From Lark & Berry's own press-coverage emails, 2018–2021, reconstructed in August 2026, cross-checked against the live web. Items are included only where the outlet and date are recorded; links are given only where the page has been verified.
Why are some well-known items missing?
Because they could not be sourced to a specific outlet and date, or because the wording could not be verified. The Marie Claire 'pioneer of sustainability on the red carpet' quote in the brand's notes is one example: no dated article has been found, so it is not listed.
Did any outlet call Lark & Berry 'the first' in 2018?
No. The earliest independent 'first' wording found is the Daily Front Row in August 2019: 'the first designer luxury jewelry brand in the world to exclusively use cultured diamonds.' Earlier 'first' claims are the brand's own.
