Calling lab made diamonds "synthetic diamonds" makes about as much sense as calling the ice in your freezer "synthetic ice" because it didn't come from a glacier.
Exactly. If I can buy something that is chemically the same at a much cheaper price point (when the value of diamonds themselves are a well documented genius marketing scheme)
The trotting out of the old SA and De Beers BS about flawless diamonds, blah, blah. Nobody who buys a diamond ring as an engagement does so with the idea that it will one day be sold. I fell for that BS and both my wife and I are sorry that we didn't buy a bigger less perfect stone. I now have a wonderful 1ct diamond that is worth a lot but useless. Spend less buy a big sparkle lab diamond.
Just signed up for an account in Brian’s website as it’s refreshing to hear a sane wise objective mind speaking on Actual Diamonds that can be found in nature. People that are shopping for the look just don’t get it, you can get a disco ball at home to have something shiny, diamonds are diamonds 💎
People that are as petty as thinking they are better than everyone else because their diamond came with a "certificate" saying it came from the ground and trying to justify the 5× cost vs someone who got a much bigger and likely better diamond in most/all of the "C's" categories, are likely the same people that fell for the debeers "diamonds are (inherently worthless) forever" campaign. Probably also fell for the stupid "a man should pay 'x' number of months salary for engagement/wedding rings."
If you get one with an excellent cut, color and polish, don’t spend the money on the natural thing. Not worth it. You won’t get anything when you try to sell your natural diamonds, so don’t worry about resale value.
not me, I've bought watches for much more. I'd buy a synthetic with no problem. I toured a factory when I was like 9 lol. Even as a kid it was eye opening.
Just another guy trying to protect his business. Justifying blood diamonds and low labour costs so he can make big coin. Mined diamonds are organized crime.
Len You are entitled to your own opinion but I see its not based on fact, its just shooting from the hip! Having said that we are an ethical company that sources an ethical product and charges a fair price for what it sells. We are not against lab grown they have a place in our jewelry world,It's just a question of what you want in order satisfy your needs.
Sir, you said it all right! I just bought a 2.8carat natural diamond ring, but for my 1.4 ctw earrings I went for lab grown diamonds, all within 6 months
As the technology improves the cost of producing these in the lab will drop rapidly ( which is already occurring, the lab grown cost has dropped more than 50% this year and will continue to drop) There will be no controll over supply and like any mass produced article the bottom drops out as supply exceeds demand and competition for market share sets in . We have recently seen a move by retailers cutting prices on lab grown, in the end they will be worthless but there will still be a demand for real and natural and they will retain value . We have seen this with Corundum Sapphire and Rubies, Beryl Emeralds as well as simulants like CZ There is a demand for Natural Rubies Sapphires and Emeralds and they retain their value and continue to appreciate the lab grown cost a few cents per carat. The same will happen with lab grown diamonds ! Markets repeat themselves
lab grown gem diamonds is different story as far as pricing , but industrial in my opinion are close to the bottom pricewise. I've already noticed some cases of prices going up
I have a few diamonds, and am told you can't tell the difference. I also have a Cubic Zircon, it looks good by itself. But next to a real diamond it doesn't put off the same fire. But we always love sparkly things.
It's a diamond! It will dominate the diamond industry from now on. Earth diamonds has lost value already and it will get worse. These diamond sellers are losing money hand over fist now.
Hi all the information that you provide is excelente , thanks I have a question, I am a bench jeweler and I know that I can heat a diamond when I do a repair drop it in the pickling compound while is hot nothing would happen to the diamond, will a lab diamond withstand and the same as the natural one?
How can I make these at home? Where can I get the technology to do so? Can I work with you? I love diamonds and I'm so stoked about synthetic diamonds I want to deal with diamonds all day everyday! I have a bunch of diamonds myself I'd love to have you look at my collection and tell me what you think.
So you're saying that despite lab grown diamonds are real, true diamonds, you and the company you deal with for the small diamonds, have a way of determining and separating the real "natural" grown diamonds and the real "lab" grown diamonds beyond the certificates? I'd be interested to know more about that process.
You calling lab created diamonds synthetic hasn’t aged well. They’re recognized as real diamonds now. But that’s just growth in the industry’s views of the stones
They are chemically diamond but who knows what will happen to them in 50- 100 years, we haven't seen it yet! Remember the more the technology increases the the more abundant they will become , supply will push down the price, where they will be worth nothing. If you want to retain value then buy real and rare!
@@brianthecutter They will not be worth nothing come on, you only say this because you sell high end diamonds and dislike the fact people can now purchase lab made, most people where I am from couldn`t give a damn about owning a huge diamond and as for diamonds being worth something only people who have more money than sense would waste it on something which isn`t actually rare at all.
The only difference between manmade diamonds and natural diamonds, and the one and onl;y difference is that one is made over hundreds of millions of years, and manmade diamonds are made in a matter of weeks. The term "synthetic diamond" is really a misnomer. Both are made from carbon, heat, and pressure; the only true difference being the source of the hat and pressure. Preference is a matter of perspective, and nothing more.
Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Once the beatification of these diamonds come along. meaning, bracelets, custom pieces and different designs. Bye bye natural diamonds lol. Mark my words!
Perhaps not in the near future, but in the years to come, first of all, why do you buy an expensive diamond? - because it is an investement, and the increasing future value. The problem i understand with these labgrown diamonds will be, they will loose value over time, why? because there will be coming out more and more massproduced labgrown diamonds, and 10-15y from now they vill loose value, and you will loose money if selling it, the natural grown diamonds are more rare and will therefore keep their value
My question is - if I won’t be having kids, and I won’t want to sell or upgrade my stone, what then is left for me to be concerned with natural vs lab?
Chris Broadfoot yes you are correct CVD stands for Chemical Vapor Deposition CVD Diamonds started appearing in the gemstone Diamond market years ago and that chemical happens to be Carbon for clarity sake I used the word Carbon !
At this point they are making d color vvs1 stones cut by all the famous pricescope cutters. If your gonna spend 50 grand on a rare colored stone go for it but colorless. It’s really just technology moving forward.

From a “financial aspect” you will lose money on either a natural or lab grown diamond.
If you get one with an excellent cut, color and polish, don’t spend the money on the natural thing. Not worth it. You won’t get anything when you try to sell your natural diamonds, so don’t worry about resale value.

Thanks.... informative article. The real question is should one seriously invest in diamonds.
Not unless you’re getting them at wholesale values and you know what you’re looking for in a diamond.
Sir, you said it all right! I just bought a 2.8carat natural diamond ring, but for my 1.4 ctw earrings I went for lab grown diamonds, all within 6 months
De Beers introduced device which can distinguish natural and lab grown gem diamonds

well said!!

Cubic Zirconium has more fire than a diamond.
It's a diamond! It will dominate the diamond industry from now on. Earth diamonds has lost value already and it will get worse. These diamond sellers are losing money hand over fist now.
Robert Day not true, depends on quality of diamond you buy
Robert Day they aren't different. Goto a diamond store that carries both. Even the pros will tell you they can't tell them apart.
Hi all the information that you provide is excelente , thanks I have a question, I am a bench jeweler and I know that I can heat a diamond when I do a repair drop it in the pickling compound while is hot nothing would happen to the diamond, will a lab diamond withstand
and the same as the natural one?
Good to know.
I'm waiting for Chinese lab grown diamonds to flood the world.
They are already
And what do you think such a diamond will be worth in 15y....
How can I make these at home? Where can I get the technology to do so? Can I work with you? I love diamonds and I'm so stoked about synthetic diamonds I want to deal with diamonds all day everyday! I have a bunch of diamonds myself I'd love to have you look at my collection and tell me what you think.
I am entering into CVD process, any help from you? Any precautions.
How many marketing layers are there between the mine and the small retailer?
I own diamond store. Lab created diamonds hurt my profits. I hate them!
So you're saying that despite lab grown diamonds are real, true diamonds, you and the company you deal with for the small diamonds, have a way of determining and separating the real "natural" grown diamonds and the real "lab" grown diamonds beyond the certificates? I'd be interested to know more about that process.
MIchael GIA and other Diamond grading laboratories test for lab grown and natural. Our in house process uses similar processes as the major labs.
This is how they distinguish between the two m.ua-cam.com/video/QL-cmKYjLww/v-deo.html

This!
I like listening to you 👍🏼
Are lab grown diamonds as durable and have longevity as a natural diamond?
They are chemically diamond but who knows what will happen to them in 50- 100 years, we haven't seen it yet! Remember the more the technology increases the the more abundant they will become , supply will push down the price, where they will be worth nothing.
If you want to retain value then buy real and rare!
@@brianthecutter diamond is never rare LOL
@@brianthecutter They will not be worth nothing come on, you only say this because you sell high end diamonds and dislike the fact people can now purchase lab made, most people where I am from couldn`t give a damn about owning a huge diamond and as for diamonds being worth something only people who have more money than sense would waste it on something which isn`t actually rare at all.
What’s the best synthetic diamond?
in what respect? Synth diamonds have vast range of applications. There's nothing like one generally "best" diamond
I wanted to enter the drawing
Are synthetic diamonds as hard as natural diamonds
Yes.
The only difference between manmade diamonds and natural diamonds, and the one and onl;y difference is that one is made over hundreds of millions of years, and manmade diamonds are made in a matter of weeks. The term "synthetic diamond" is really a misnomer. Both are made from carbon, heat, and pressure; the only true difference being the source of the hat and pressure.

Hello
Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Once the beatification of these diamonds come along. meaning, bracelets, custom pieces and different designs. Bye bye natural diamonds lol. Mark my words!
Jewelry of any design can be made by fake diamonds, so it is not a thing of future yet they are less desired. Real is Real
Will prices on synthetics drop significantly in the near future?
Perhaps not in the near future, but in the years to come, first of all, why do you buy an expensive diamond? - because it is an investement, and the increasing future value.
The problem i understand with these labgrown diamonds will be, they will loose value over time, why? because there will be coming out more and more massproduced labgrown diamonds, and 10-15y from now they vill loose value, and you will loose money if selling it, the natural grown diamonds are more rare and will therefore keep their value
@@MrKeys57 Diamonds are a horrible investment.
My question is - if I won’t be having kids, and I won’t want to sell or upgrade my stone, what then is left for me to be concerned with natural vs lab?
That's not what CVD stands for
Chris Broadfoot yes you are correct CVD stands for Chemical Vapor Deposition CVD Diamonds started appearing in the gemstone Diamond market years ago and that chemical happens to be Carbon for clarity sake I used the word Carbon !
It’s all fake open your eyes people🤩
This is Crazy!!! IF ITS MAN MADE ITS NOT REAL!!! PERIOD!!!
It's a matter of semantics.
Man makes cars and those are REAL! 🤣
