Why Man-made Diamonds do not Retain their Value

748 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?

IMHO, it’s irrelevant because you’re buying jewellery not a mutual fund. You’ll lose most of the value the second her earrings leave the store.

Get her earrings that look nice. If she’s not going to sell them in her lifetime, and doesn’t want her daughter to sell them, why does it matter what the resale value is?
