Last year, lab grown diamonds made a huge leap in the jewelry industry.
Most mainstream jewelers not only adopted man-made, but moved them to the forefront and advertised the heck out of them.
And now, man-made diamonds are exploding!
Granted, man-made diamonds have been around for over 100 years… But it seems so new now.
Why is this?
Because of the way they look. It used to be that man-made (grown in a laboratory) diamonds were small in carat weight, and often yellow in hue (not very desirable).
But not anymore.
The lab created diamonds of today are spectacular. They look just as good, if not better, than anything nature can create.
They also come in any clarity, color, carat weight and cut. And if you put them side by side with a earth created diamond, there would be no difference. Honestly! There is none. Lab created diamonds are REAL diamonds. Think of them as a test-tube baby. You’d never know how it was created; it’s the same thing. Just, mother nature takes thousands of years to create a diamond, and in a lab, with the right pressure, heat, and equipment, they can be created in months.
With a diamond tester, microscope, or loupe, they are exactly the same. And if no one told you, you’d never even know it (all lab grown diamonds will state if they are man-made on the girdle; loupe it and see). They only difference is the time needed to create them, and the price.
You see, lab created diamonds are 1/3 of the price of a natural diamond.
Compare prices below:
Amazing isn’t it?
If they ask you if it’s a real diamond; IT IS! 100%
If you wonder if it will wear (be as durable as a natural diamond); YES! Absolutely.
Lab created diamonds sparkle exactly the same. They are cut the same way. They come with real diamond reports. It’s all the same.
There are only 3 differences:
- The Price
- Trade-In Value (there is none for lab created right now)
- Your Knowledge (just knowing that it’s created in a lab vs nature)
Lab created diamonds have the exact same chemical composition as a natural diamond. They are grown from diamond crystals. The DNA is identical. Everything is… Except the stigma. Some people will frown upon anything created in a lab. But I tell you, once you compare them, see them in person, see the price, you’ll be a believer. Lab created diamonds are taking over. Quickly!
Lab created, or lab enhanced diamonds have been around for quite a while. You’ve seen blue diamonds, green diamonds, yellow diamonds and pink ones in stores for the last 20 years. These are lab enhanced (heat treated). So being created in a lab is nothing new. But right now, because of the economy, and the savings, lab grown is pulling to the front of the line. And my prediction is that this Christmas, 2020, lab created diamonds will be in everything: engagement rings, earrings, tennis bracelets, pendants… You wait and see.
Just imagine…
You could actually own a real 3 carat diamond, like the one shown below, for a fraction of the price:
CARAT, CLARITY, COLOR, CUT, POL, SYM, FLUOR | PRICE | VIEW |
3.03, VS2, F, EX, EX, EX, NONE | $16,320 | VIEW |
Lab grown is the perfect opportunity to get some rather large diamonds, for a really great deal. Because in the future, I’m sure, the price of these will escalate. Everything in life does.
