Natural diamonds, traditionally sourced from mining operations, face competition from lab-grown diamonds.

This strategic pivot allows Pandora to gain greater control over its diamond supply, potentially leading to more stable pricing and reduced vulnerability to the price fluctuations or supply constraints of natural diamond mining companies.
