The Rapidly Changing Market for Lab-Grown Diamonds
Over the past few years, lab-grown diamonds have become increasingly popular, and with that popularity, the industry has experienced major shifts. Since 2018, the price of lab-grown diamonds has dropped significantly. For example, a 1-carat lab-grown diamond that might have cost around $5,000 in 2018 can now be found for around $1,000-$1,500.
Here’s a deeper dive article from Works in Progress by Javid Lakha.
This decline in prices is due to advancements in technology and increased competition among diamond manufacturers, making lab-grown diamonds more accessible to consumers.
“The lab-grown diamond market is evolving quickly, and prices are becoming more favorable for buyers every day,” says Andrew Fox, President of SuperJeweler. “For those willing to shop sales and promotions, the savings can be substantial.”
Why Look for Sales? A Buyer’s Guide
With the prices of lab-grown diamonds continuing to fall, it’s a smart strategy to watch for discounts and time your purchase to coincide with special sales. Here’s why:
- Get More for Your Money: Because the prices of lab-grown diamonds are declining, the discounts you see during sales are more than just marketing ploys—they’re a reflection of real price drops. This means that by shopping during a sale, you’re likely to find larger stones or higher clarity diamonds for the same budget.
- Take Advantage of Seasonal Sales: Like many industries, the jewelry market is driven by seasonal trends. SuperJeweler offers promotions during major shopping periods like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Black Friday. These events are perfect opportunities to find a beautiful lab-grown diamond engagement ring at a fraction of the cost. Browse our current promotions to see the latest deals.
- Don’t Miss Out on Clearance Deals: As new diamond batches are produced, older inventory often goes on clearance. This can result in deep discounts on stunning diamonds that are just as beautiful as the latest arrivals. SuperJeweler frequently updates its stock, so it’s worth keeping an eye on our sale section for these clearance prices.
“Buying during a sale can make all the difference in getting the diamond of your dreams while staying within your budget,” adds Scott Berkebile, GG from the GIA and Vice President at SuperJeweler. “It’s about timing and knowing where to look.”
