Lab Grown Diamond
Reasons for not selling lab diamonds
Laboratory-manufactured diamonds, also known as laboratory diamonds and synthetic diamonds, are pure carbon diamonds grown under strictly controlled laboratory conditions that mimic the natural growth processes of the earth on the ground.
It is made by high pressure and high temperature or chemical vapor deposition techniques, and can have physical and chemical properties similar to those of natural diamonds.
Unlike natural diamonds, the manufacturing process of laboratory diamonds can be controlled by human beings, thus producing purer and more perfect diamonds. In addition, laboratory diamonds can be manufactured at a lower cost than mining production, thus solving the supply problem in the industrial diamond market to a certain extent.
However, for some, laboratory diamonds are still not as valuable and attractive as natural diamonds because they do not have the historical background and rarity of natural diamonds. In any case, laboratory diamonds have a wide range of applications in both jewelry and industry, and their use will become more widespread as technology advances and production costs decrease.
The most commonly used in laboratories are Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT)

When you compare a lab diamond to a natural diamond, the difference is not in the appearance. Lab-grown diamonds are made of crystallized carbon just like natural diamonds, so they both have the same appearance, chemistry and optical properties. Lab-grown diamonds, however, are man-made, not naturally occurring on earth.
Laboratory diamonds do not have the same value as natural diamonds. The main reason is that there is no secondary market for laboratory diamonds because there is a great deal of uncertainty about their value.
As competition intensifies, laboratory-produced diamond yields may become cheaper, forcing producers to continue to reduce the selling price of these diamonds.
Lab-grown diamonds have shown to be unstable in price. Until 2020, lab-grown diamonds will sell for about 50% less than natural diamonds when compared using natural diamond grades.
In 2018, a new De Beers brand of synthetic diamonds called Lightbox began selling lab diamonds at a fixed price of USD$800 per card. Prices dropped by almost 80% in just a few months.
We are not sure if the price of laboratory produced diamonds will continue to fall or even fall significantly.
For all of these reasons, we do not sell lab-created diamonds. You don't know if it will completely lose its value in a short period of time.
