Are Lab-Grown Diamonds Dropping in Price?
Yes, and it’s great news.
Lab-grown diamonds are becoming more affordable every year. That means more people can enjoy the magic of real diamonds—not just the few who can afford mined ones.
Yes, Lab-Grown Diamond Prices Are Falling—Fast
The numbers speak for themselves:
- From 2020 to 2025, lab diamond prices dropped 74%
- From 2023 to 2025, they dropped another 26%

This isn’t a small trend. This is a big shift. The lab diamond market is maturing, and prices are adjusting quickly.
Why Are Prices Dropping?
Lab-grown diamonds are cheaper to make now. Technology is better. Production is faster. The cost to grow a diamond keeps going down.
As demand grows, more companies are producing lab diamonds. That means economies of scale. Big supply, better systems, lower cost.
In 2022, lab-grown diamonds made up just 7% of the diamond jewellery market. In 2023, that jumped to 17%. And it keeps rising.
Lab Diamonds Are Not an Investment—And That’s OK
Let’s be honest. Lab-grown diamonds don’t hold resale value well. They never have, and they never will.
But that’s not why you buy one. You buy a lab-grown diamond because it’s beautiful. Because it sparkles like nothing else. Because it’s a real diamond—just without the cost of mining or inflated pricing.
You buy it to wear. To love. To show off. To make a moment special. And that’s what diamond jewellery is for.
What You’re Really Paying For
Lab diamonds still offer:
- Brilliant sparkle
- Clean, clear shine
- That rainbow flash that feels almost magical
They give you the power to express your style with something timeless and radiant. You’re not limited to tiny stones just because you can’t justify a natural diamond price tag.
Everyone deserves to wear real diamonds if they want to. Not just for engagement rings. Not just for the wealthy. Everyone.
