Lab Grown vs Natural Diamonds: What You Need to Know About Value & Investment

by Elrock Jewels on May 03, 2025
Lab Grown vs Natural Diamonds: What You Need to Know About Value & Investment

Market Demand

Market demand plays a significant role in determining the value of any product, including diamonds. While lab-grown diamonds are gaining popularity for their ethical and environmental benefits, they still make up a smaller portion of the overall diamond market. This results in slightly less demand compared to natural diamonds, which have long been seen as a symbol of luxury and status.

Price: Upfront Cost vs. Long-Term Value

  • Lab-Grown Diamonds
    Lab diamonds typically cost 30–50% less than natural diamonds of the same size and quality. This makes them an attractive choice for those seeking maximum sparkle at a lower price point. However, this lower price also impacts future resale value.

  • Natural Diamonds
    Natural diamonds come at a premium price due to their rarity and the extensive mining process. Though more expensive, they are generally perceived as having better long-term value, particularly for resale and inheritance.

  • Which Should You Choose?

    Criteria Lab-Grown Diamonds Natural Diamonds
    Upfront Cost Lower Higher
    Resale Value Lower Generally Higher
    Rarity Not rare (man-made) Naturally rare
    Ethical & Eco Value Very High Varies by source
    Investment Potential Low Moderate (not guaranteed)
    Ideal For Budget, ethical buyers Long-term, legacy buyers

     

  • Ethical and Environmental Savings

    The economic value of lab diamond jewelry also includes social and environmental costs avoided. We’re supporting:

    • No destructive mining

    • No conflict funding

    • Lower carbon footprint

  • Long-Lasting Beauty, Minimal Maintenance

    Lab-grown diamonds are just as tough and durable as natural diamonds, boasting a 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness—the highest possible rating. This means your lab diamond jewelry is built to withstand everyday wear and maintain its brilliance for generations. With basic care and occasional cleaning, these stones remain stunning and scratch-resistant, just like any cherished heirloom.
