    To clarify, Lab Grown Diamond (LGD) have been produced on an industrial scale since 1970. 40% of all diamonds traded are synthetic diamonds. And De Beers and Alrosa are among the largest producers of synthetic diamonds. More information on Wikipedia under “Synthetic diamonds”.

    Lab is chemically, physically, optically the same as natural. It is designed and engineered in a lab, which to me is very impressive. After spending ten thousands of dollars on jewelry for my wife over the years (Natural diamonds), I came across a factory on Reddit who sells lab diamonds (For like 50% off the market price), I purchased her an amazing tennis bracelet, Even big brands such as James Allen are selling lab diamonds 90% of the time, more and more people understand that natural diamonds are mostly a marketing gimmick. diamonds are not actually all that rare. Their value comes from the DeBeers being able to control their flow into the market

    Diamonds are diamonds lab grown or not. Naturally occurring diamonds tend to have impurities which tends to impart a distinct color (thereby hinting to their place of origin).

    Very interesting. I've been following the trend for sometime and it seems that diamond costs will inevitably drop drastically precisely because of the availability of Lab grown diamonds. It's been know that De Beers has had a monopoly in diamond mining and stock and limiting supply and artificially increasing the cost of a stone that is rather abundant compared to stones such as Emarald. Lab grown diamonds will challenge that monopoly and deflate the costs because as far at the customer is concerned, lab grown or mined diamonds cannot be distinguished.
    Ironically enough, I read somewhere that De beers is also going into lab grown diamonds.

      Not true. In the lab, a lab diamond can be differentiated from natural with an elegant machine tool. So in truth, they aren’t actually the same exact chemical property. Also there is a GIA equiv to lab diamonds due to the influx of sellers lying to consumers that CZ are lab diamonds.

    • @bingo000
      @bingo000 11 місяців тому +1

      @@VBoo459 You are correct that lab-created diamonds and natural diamonds can be differentiated using specialized equipment. While both share identical chemical and physical properties (both being made of carbon in a crystal lattice structure), subtle differences in trace elements and crystal growth patterns can be detected by sophisticated tools.
      Regarding the chemical properties, it's worth noting that the term 'same exact chemical properties' typically refers to the primary composition (carbon atoms in a diamond lattice). The differences identified by these machines are more about minute inclusions or structural variances rather than a fundamental difference in chemical composition.
      Your point about the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and other organizations offering certifications for lab-grown diamonds is also well-taken. This is indeed a response to market dynamics and the need to ensure consumers are not misled about what they are purchasing, particularly in distinguishing lab-grown diamonds from other simulants like cubic zirconia (CZ). Also worth nothing that certification is costly and this is why its not worth it for melee diamonds in which some CZs and Lab diamonds get passed on to customers as natural diamonds.

    Most of diamonds sold are severely overpriced. When buying $100, when selling you will get between $25 to $50 max. Even if you sell them next day, its price has depreciated to atleast half. Goes to show what a poor investment a diamond is. For that matter most coloured stones too - when you buy they are oo la la blood red ruby from Burma that will cost a fortune, when you go to sell, you get peanuts.
    The rule is simple

    When selling = semi precious stone

    Lab Diamond: This is definitely the first time I've come across this method of production. And the biggest factor that grabs my attention is the fact that, once Lab Diamonds are finished with all their manufacturing processes and ready to be displayed on the high streets, an individual would not be able to spot the difference between a mine sourced and lab produced diamond jewellery set. Unless, the selling party release the details of the source of production, then one cannot tell the difference. With the only exception being the price tag.
    When it comes to such high end and lavish purchases, society does not want the "synthetic" choice.
    People that wear diamonds are typically from the wealthy demographic in society. And want the real, genuine selection, not something that mimics the real thing.
    Diamond is not a material which is seen as a everyday commodity. And not something which is associated with an impulsive purchase.
    For example, the woman who wanted to gift her sister a diamond item that is pocket friendly.
    So, it's all about perceptions when it comes to diamonds. The people who would have to work a few years to save up for a diamond ring or bracelet, they will have found a more sustainable solution in lab diamond.
    I think the members of society from the high class demographic, will not want to go to a global scale award ceremony, wearing lab grown/produced diamonds.
