Why Man-made Diamonds do not Retain their Value

1.01K 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?

No diamonds retain value, except super rare ones that are above a quality grade, size, or that have special rare colors.

Diamonds themselves are not very rare and are only expensive because people were fooled into thinking they are, by De Beers. The supply is artificially made scarce because there are endless amounts of new diamonds mined, used ones will never retain value.
