Great information! I grew up with DeBeers "a diamond is forever", etc., but I learned a long time ago about their monopoly. I said no to mined diamonds first because of apartheid. This is why, now that I make fine jewelry, and use natural colored gemstones, and synthetic lab grown stones for fashion jewelry. There are other natural clear gemstones besides diamonds.

That's the thing. While diamonds are indeed beautiful, the manipulations haven't helped jewelry buyers at all. I like that you explore a variety of gems for your creations. I bet they're beautiful ❤️

As the lab-grown diamonds and other stones are so beautiful and so inexpensive in comparison, I have been very seriously having my real diamond jewelry professionally appraised and then sell them off before no one will want to pay the price for real diamonds anymore. I don't have that much but I have already been buying solid gold and silver set jewels that are lab-grown. I like them just as much, honestly as my real diamonds.

The thing about diamonds is that they have never really held their value once taken out of the boutique. Unlike colored gemstones and colored diamonds that you can resell for a pleasing sum. Let's see how things finally unfold.

Lan grown diamonds basically don't have a demand, very difficult to resale, not apprrciated by the rich and wealthy

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. But lab-grown diamonds are finding a market with the middle class and younger buyers. It's only time that will tell how this plays out.

@@GemsandJewelries lab grown diamonds have been in the market for a long time like cubic zirconia which was originally heralded as the "gem that will put the diamond down". Still the demand for natural diamond remained high. Then scientists developed a lab grown gem that can pass even the diamond tester...thus the CVD diamond came about. The hardness in the Mohs scale is the same. The sparkle and fire is the same. The diamond tester is even deceived by the CVD diamond BUT, the demand for earth mined diamond remained unfazed. It will remain King of gems because people love real things - - and real people too 🙂

@@GemsandJewelriesAgreed. While I don't think diamond mines will be hit enough to close, the affordability and popularity of diamonds and the industrial demand will definitely have an impact.

Natural diamonds are rare. The diamond mines get depleted over time. This would result in their value increasing over time. Lab grown diamonds are only a cheaper substitute.

That's a great point, but, to the best of my knowledge, it's colored diamonds like pink that run the risk of being mined out. Colorless diamonds are in abundance. Not to talk of the above-the-ground quantity.

There a big diffrence between the real deal amd lab grown you can see the colour diffrence will never look.like the real deal

Interesting. I have heard many say that the two look alike to the naked eye. It will require deeper inspection from an institution like the GIA to tell them apart. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Las ventas de diamantes en bruto están realmente cayendo. Creo que esto afectará el precio en el futuro.

Yo tambien lo espero. Pero entre la caída de las ventas de diamantes en bruto y el aumento de las ventas de diamantes cultivados en laboratorio, es posible que la industria esté cambiando para siempre.

My daughter got a 5 carat lab diamond for her 10th Anniversary and its gorgeous! Best of all, they don't have to take out a 2nd mortgage for it. I'm excited about the progression but I'm also thinking about people who feed their families after spending the day digging for gems. It'll be like the coalminers who's jobs were taken by profits and robots.
