COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Pandora, the jewellery maker best know for its silver charm bracelets, will stop selling mined diamonds and focus on more affordable, sustainable, lab-grown gems, it said on Tuesday. Diamonds are not only forever, but for everyone, Pandora Chief Executive Alexander Lacik said as the Danish company launched a new collection of man-made stones.
Pandora, which made 85 million pieces of jewellery last year and sold 50,000 diamonds, said it aimed to transform the market for diamond jewellery with affordable, sustainably created products .
The growing acceptance of man-made diamonds by millennials attracted to cheaper stones guaranteed not to have come from conflict zones has spurred firms such as De Beers to end its decades-old policy of shunning synthetic gems in its jewellery.

COPENHAGEN, May 4 (Reuters) - Denmark announced plans to reopen schools and allow a range of indoor activities this week, but a cap on gatherings led to the cancellation of several summer music festivals, including the renowned Roskilde Festival.
The Nordic country has avoided a third wave of COVID-19 with broad lockdown measures introduced in late December, which drove down daily infections from several thousand to between 500 and 800 in recent months. Denmark needs to get back to normal as fast as possible, and it has to happen responsibly, Health Minister Magnus Heunicke said on Tuesday.
