The Cons of Lab-Grown Diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds are lab created and, as such, they have a few more cons than mined diamonds. For starters, while lab-grown diamonds may be more affordable than mined diamonds, the price of the diamond is not always indicative of its quality. Some lab-grown diamonds can be visibly and optically identical to an equivalent mined diamond and cost less. However, some may not be as good of a diamond for this reason.

Additionally, although synthetic stones are chemically pure like their natural counterparts, they don't come with the same value in many cultures. The most common form of jewelry for women in India is a mangalsutra or necklace made from small pieces of white gold strung on a thread. Because the synthetic stones don't carry cultural value to this culture, they are often sold at discounted rates which won't make them worth your investment.

Lab-grown diamonds also don’t have any history behind them like mined diamonds do. It's not uncommon for people to buy jewelry because it was passed down through the family or inherited from an ancestor. These stories can often increase the value of an item by connecting it with memories that create attachment to it. Lab-grown diamonds lack this attachment because they never existed before being
