What is a lab grown diamond?

Lab grown diamonds (also known as lab created diamonds, man made diamonds, engineered diamonds, and cultured diamonds) are grown in highly controlled laboratory environments using advanced technological processes that duplicate the conditions under which diamonds naturally develop when they form in the mantle, beneath the Earth’s crust.

How long do lab-grown diamonds hold their value?

However, if you determine value in a non-financial sense, such as the hardness, quality and beauty of the diamond, then lab-grown diamonds will hold their value indefinitely. As they are chemically identical to natural diamonds, lab diamonds are forever, as the saying goes.

How much does a lab-made Diamond cost?

As a result, the price difference between natural and lab-made diamonds increases drastically for larger carat stones. For example, this 3 carat, H color, VS2 clarity natural diamond from James Allen costs $32,930. On the other hand, this 3.05 carat, H color, VVS2 clarity lab-grown diamond costs $15,750. That's over a 50% price difference.
