- In this video, we're discussing the pros and cons of lab-grown diamonds. We're going to cover things like quality, ethics, and the environmental impact of diamond production.
If you're interested in learning more about lab-grown diamonds, this is the video for you! We'll discuss the pros and cons of this diamond production process, and help you decide if lab-grown diamonds are the right choice for you.
Thank you for being honest about diamonds or other gemstones not being an investment; gold is. You'll never get anywhere near what you paid for it so just buy what you like and rock it.
There is really no resale on natural diamonds either. Unless you have a museum quality piece, no one will give anything for your diamond. Remember, Debeers jacked up the prices of natural diamonds. Thay are not rare either.
Natural diamonds are still a finite source. There is a resale value on them, just not as much as when you first bought it. Think of it like buying a brand new car. In a couple of years, it won't hold the same resale value on it because of wear and tear. Natural diamonds are the same way.
@@ajewelerslife21but a car is a mechanical machine that can provide value or lack there of vs a Diamond that basically does nothing besides shine, it’s more of a commodity.
@@rbtheballer they aren't really a commodity as no two diamonds are the same, there are subtle differences that affect the price of each, compared to two 1oz gold coins, they are worth whatever gold is worth that day. Faceted diamonds are a luxury product that no-one needs but people want.
@@HaywoodsGems 💯💯💯
It’s a scam nature has no value either
I randomly came across your video. Wanted to give kudos great break down and great video. Awesome reviews.
Thanks! Appreciate it
What were the prices of natural diamonds before De Beers started their monopoly ?
Diamonds are Diamonds and all will depreciate as the rarety is now gone..
Keep it up! Love the quality of the videos!
Thank You
You lose money reselling your natural diamond as well
Not a good investment commodity
Buy it for anything but investment
Correct; diamonds are symbolic for special moments; not true investments unless you get into extremely expensive and rare diamonds like red diamonds.
Pro: Cheaper than natural African Diamonds. Cons: Cost about as much to produce as Moissanite, but Moissanite is 100 times cheaper...
Yes, technically true. But lab grown diamonds are much harder than moissanites and don't break as easily as moissanites.
Don't feel like buying diamonds at all 😢
Diamonds are 10 in hardness on the Mohs scale, and Moissanite is 9.5, so it's not that much softer.
@@ajewelerslife21”brake as easily as Moissanites”??? 😂 Are you kidding? Moissanite is the next after the diamond 💎 in the hardness scale 10 vs 9,5 😅
@@rosej9686Mohs is a measure of hardess - it has nothing to do with tensile or compressive strength
I'm writing in sept 24, in July I bought a 5.15 ct radiant cvd did for an engagement ring. from the time I ordered till it was delivered "1 week" the price dropped 25% wholesale. they are getting so cheap that I now pay almost the same price per carat for melee as 3+ centers. it has also been announced that there is a new process that reduces the grow time by 30%. as for them dropping to give away pricing, well it's already here. at the Vegas show there was a vendor sell super nice up
scale rings with free lab centers. all this has happened in just the last year! I've been at the bench for over 50 years, I have never seen this much change this fast.n I can't imagine what's coming next.
Great info thanks man
Is it actually possible for anyone to tell the difference between the lab grown and the natural diamond?
How would a jeweller know if buying a second hand diamond if it’s natural or lab grown?
So it’s not possible to tell with the naked eye or even under a microscope the way you would with a cubic zirconia vs a natural diamond. As jewelers we actually need fancy machines to tell us if it’s lab grown or natural.
@@ajewelerslife21 That's really interesting, thank you for the reply
@@ajewelerslife21gimme a high school chemistry lab Uv-Vis and I’ll be able to tell natural vs synthetic 95% of the time. Theres no way to replicate that 415nm peak with HPHT or CVD.
Give it 10-15 years and natural diamonds will be seen in museums.
They are still forming in nature … it’s not finite. It’s very common . Debeer and other company inflated prices
Best video on youtube
great info
Thank you.
If diamonds can be grown in a lab, why aren't they all vvs1 and D color? Can this not be controlled?
Unfortunately we can't control the way a diamond grows on a molecular level. It's like a plant. You can't control how tall it's going to get and how big the leaves are going to grow.
Well summarised, visited a jewellery shop today and I was surprised by the mark-up they had a lab 1 CRT $5900 sticker price.. when i said cash .. she said $5300. Ahhhh ??
What’s the difference compared to cubic zirconium?
So cubic zirconium is essentially plastic; while lab grown diamonds have the exact chemical makeup of a natural diamond and have the same brilliance and durability.
cost of production limits supply of labs and anticipated future increase in supply is already priced in
To be honest you are not buying just a diamond itself you are buying a piece of earth history that’s why you want to go with natural diamond even they are identical.
Seems like lab grown diamonds will continue to get cheaper over time. You might pay 25k for it today but 5years later it’s worth 5-10k do to advances in technology and supply. Minus labor cost the price will continue to fall vs natural diamonds.
correct! They continue to get lower and lower every year, you're completely right which is why again they're a great alternative to the expense of a natural diamond but should be bought as jewelry not as an investment!
@@ajewelerslife21 Yea, I’ll just stick to gold seems like no matter what your going to be throwing money away as the price continues to drop. If I want diamonds it’ll be something natural and very subtle; I’m not tryna blow out a Rolex or a chain.
Thank you 🙏🏽
As the lab grown dias grow cheaper, so will the natural ones.
I heard that lab grown diamonds have a low to no resale value. Is that true.
Yes, unfortunately it is true because lab grown diamonds basically have no limit to them. But they are a great option for a lower cost engagement ring meant for a lifetime.
The price will eventually go down to zero minus production costs. I’d research the cost to produce the stones and the tech before spending any money. It’s like the Fed just printing money.
All stones including diamonds (natural or lab grown) have very bad resale value. You'll never get anywhere near what you paid for them.
Invest in yourself first 🤗
There's no transparent Knowledge of diamond recognitions between Buyers and Sellers, only jeweler knew its Value.
For the average buyer on a budget it's a more reasonable option.
Only D vvs1 or higher have high resale value.
I have a question, if lab grown diamonds are the same as natural diamonds, how can anyone tell them apart?
Nobody can tell them apart with the naked eye. We need fancy machines to tell us that they are lab grown. They are different on their molecular form.

As far as I see it. Unless like you mentioned, you are getting a 8+ ct or a rare pink red diamond. All those other smaller natural diamonds are worthless. For example you pay 20k for a 2ct natural and pay 2.5k for a lab grown. Yes lab grown might worth next to nothing but all you’re losing is 2.5k versus the 20k natural you’re probably looking 7-8k on it.
Lab diamonds are the price that Earth mined diamonds should have been sold for all along.
There's literally no reason to choose an Earth mined diamond over a lab one. Especially when the only difference is the amount of money that's being deducted from your bank account to call it yours, or theirs.
If your fiancé insists that you spend 10X the amount on a solid chunk of sparkly carbon over the exact same carat, cut, color, and clarity chunk of sparkly carbon........ Then ya might want to reconsider whether or not you'll be happy married to an idiot.
Wholesale... labs are about 1K per carat. Dont overpay!
There's no real cons on a lab grown, even if the lab grown would have no resale value, you will loose more money on the devaluation of a natural one.
😮
the only pro that matters: no slave labor
so basically unless youre rich and have a miss priss of a wife, go lab grown and save money
Thats weird. Even if it is lab grown its the same thing.
