Why Man-made Diamonds do not Retain their Value

983 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?

Lab grown diamonds are indistinguishable from earth made. The only way anyone can tell the difference is that the jeweler (upon sale) will register that diamond with you and laser engrave information into that diamond.

That information is strictly so other jewelers know to lowball prices if you try to sell it. If you can buy the stone loose and not give them a chance to laser engrave no one would ever be able to tell the difference.

Just start watching documentaries on blood diamonds and ask your future fiancé if she really wants little kids blood on her hands just for the sake of potentially selling something at a VAST discount down the road.
