Why do women love diamonds? Once upon a time, women primarily acquired diamonds via gifting. Whether it was the engagement ring, anniversary band, or custom design crafted for a birthday or other special occasion, it was traditional for women to be at least one degree removed from the purchasing process.

Why do women love diamonds? Today, the situation is radically different. As women now have higher levels of purchasing power and personal independence, they also are buying more diamond jewelry for themselves.

Why Do Women Like Jewelry?

Many women today buy jewelry for themselves, and whether it’s for a sentimental reason or for a professional milestone, women who love their emotional and financial independence are proud to self-gift jewelry.

Glamour Magazine reports that in 2018, MVI Marketing, which provides consumer research on luxury goods and jewelry, found that 51% of millennial women with a household income of $75,000 or more purchase their own accessories, from rings to necklaces to bracelets.

Self Gifting Jewelry

As part of their ongoing effort to advance the jewelry and watch industry, the WJA is rolling out an international campaign to encourage women to buy fine jewelry for themselves. March is Me is about empowering women to use their voices and do things for themselves.

In the retail environment, this can mean purchasing fine jewelry, such as right-hand rings, or commissioning custom pieces. Millennials – the demographic most likely to be self-purchasers – are also the biggest fans of custom jewelry.

If you’ve been doing research on diamonds, then you’ve likely come across the concept of using lab-grown diamonds as an alternative to natural diamonds—but are lab-grown diamonds worth it?

There are a number of key differences between lab-grown and real diamonds. But, when it comes to making the smartest investment, you’re better off sticking with the real deal.

Below, we’re exploring some need-to-know basics before choosing between real and lab grown diamonds. We’ll discuss the many reasons why lab grown diamonds aren’t ideal, long-term solutions when you’re looking for a brilliant diamond to maintain its illustrious shine for many years to come.

Lab Diamonds vs. Real Diamonds

You have two options when it comes to purchasing diamonds: natural—a.k.a. real diamonds—and lab grown diamonds.

There’s been a big push toward lab-grown diamonds in the past several decades, with many touting them as a more ethical and affordable option for engagement rings, wedding bands, and other important pieces of jewelry. But compared to real diamonds, lab diamonds fall short in a number of key ways, all of which are important to be aware of when you’re making a decision on what type of diamond to buy.

First, it’s helpful to note what the similarities are. Notably, both natural and lab grown diamonds are quite alike in their appearance and heft, and they share many of the same physical and chemical properties. Both also start with a “seed”—i.e. a sliver of another diamond—that is exposed to extreme heat and pressure, with natural diamonds taking millions of years to be created while lab diamonds can be created much more rapidly in a controlled setting.
While real diamonds have been around for many millennia, lab grown diamonds have only been in existence since the 1940s, though they weren’t mass produced until the 1980s or so. These diamonds were easier for businesses to make a profit off of, and also a more affordable alternative for consumers who weren’t looking for an investment piece.
Natural diamonds, on the other hand, first came to the surface about three to four hundred million years ago, when volcanic pressure pushed them up from the earth’s depths. They’re as rare and special as they are unique, and in many ways, completely priceless.

Pros of Natural Diamonds

• They’re one of a kind. Unlike mass-produced lab diamonds, every natural diamond is 100% unique.
• Increased value. Natural diamonds appreciate in value over time, which makes them an excellent long-term investment and something that you can pass down in your family for many years.  
• Distinctive beauty. There’s something special about the beauty of natural diamonds, each of which can be billions of years old.

Cons of Lab Grown Diamonds

We’ve answered the question of how are lab grown diamonds made?, but let’s look at how that process affects their overall quality and value.

• Depreciating value. Lab-grown diamonds don’t become more valuable over time. On the contrary, they’ll always be worth less than what you paid for them.
• Sustainability issues. A 2019 Trucost report found that, on average, lab-grown diamonds require three times greater greenhouse gas emissions than mined diamonds.
• Mass production. Because they’re produced on a mass scale, lab-grown diamonds lack the allure of naturally produced diamonds and aren’t as special to pass down through generations.

While the full reach and impact of COVID-19 has yet to become clear, the pandemic has had a significant impact on the diamond industry as a whole. These challenges come from two directions. There’s been a dramatic drop in consumer demand, due to the economic uncertainty associated with stay at home orders. Second, the pandemic has caused supply chain interruptions worldwide, most especially in China, India and Israel.

What does this mean to the jewelry manufacturer and retailer, particularly as it applies to melee diamonds?

The first point we’d like to address is supply chain stability. While the pandemic is certainly unique, it’s not the first challenging time Grunberger Diamonds has been through. We have offices all around the world and have procedures in place to ensure that you can get our exceptional Ideal Cut melee diamonds in the quality and quantities you require. Whether you need to create a single stunning engagement ring or do an entire production run, we’ve got you covered.

During times like these, cash flow can be a challenge. Many manufacturers and custom jewelers prefer not to hold as much melee diamond inventory as they may otherwise choose to.  However, it’s also important to be able to respond quickly to customer requests. Being put on pause has not made anyone more patient. For that reason, we are currently shipping all orders within 2 business days so you can say yes to short deadline projects.

Here’s how to get in touch.
