At the beginning of the 21st century, lab grown diamonds had entered the jewelry market abroad, which attracted the attention of domestic enterprises and research institutes, and then they launched relevant scientific research actions.
In the overseas market, except for a few diamonds with larger carats that have collection attributes, other diamond jewelry are basically wearable items, which makes laboratory diamonds with price advantages more acceptable. In China, the popularity of laboratory grown diamonds is very limited, and consumers’ attention needs to be gradually improved.
“As consumers’ awareness of artificial diamonds gradually improves, diamond jewelry returns to supporting attributes, and the artificial diamond market is still promising in the future.” Lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds are essentially the same thing. Without the help of special equipment, even professionals can hardly distinguish them.
The price advantage of laboratory grown diamonds is very obvious. A one-carat natural diamond, if the color and craftsmanship are good, is generally priced at more than 100,000 yuan, but if the same specifications of laboratory diamonds are used, the price can be reduced to between 20,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan.
Industry insiders said that in addition to having the same physical properties, chemical composition and crystal structure, laboratory diamonds also have more advantages in color. The technology of yellow and blue cultured diamonds has entered the mass production stage.
