Why Man-made Diamonds do not Retain their Value

778 views

For our anniversary I want to buy my wife diamond earrings. I bought her a lab made diamond bracelet in the past and she loved it, but said that she would rather have earth made diamonds because she wants it to retain value to pass on to our daughter.

Looking online I see many sites from jewelers that confirm what she claims, but I do not trust their bias. Is it true that man made diamonds that are considered ‘perfect’ are worth less in the long run compared to their earthen made brethren?

Diamonds are carbon. Carbon is the 3rd most plentiful element in the universe. Diamonds are not rare. Their “value” is exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. The high prices for diamonds are because globally, diamond suppliers work to artificially restrict the supply of diamonds to keep demand high.
