And the companies switching early will dominate the next decade.
Let’s be brutally honest…
The jewelry industry has been lying to itself for years.
Everyone pretended natural diamonds would stay king forever. Everyone pretended lab-grown diamonds were “just a trend.” Everyone pretended customers would “never accept” anything except mined stones.
And then something happened…
Customers chose lab-grown.
Retailers doubled their margins.
Wholesalers watched their natural diamond shelves collect dust.
Designers started using lab-grown because the stones actually match.
And the craziest part?
Most companies STILL don’t want to admit it.
This is the real story — the one nobody in the old diamond world wants to talk about.
💥 Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Outselling Natural Diamonds in Entire Categories
Nobody will say it publicly, but behind the scenes:
-
Bridal stores are selling more 2–3 carat lab-grown rings than natural
-
Retailers say customers “don’t even hesitate anymore”
-
Jewelers report faster turnover, higher margins, fewer returns
-
Wholesale natural diamond prices are dropping every quarter
-
Lab-grown manufacturers can’t keep up with demand
This isn’t a trend.
It’s a transfer of power.
And if you’re a jewelry company still resisting the shift…
you’re about to lose market share to your competitor down the street who DID switch.
📉 The Mined Diamond Market Is Crashing — But Nobody Wants to Admit It
Wholesale natural diamond prices have dropped by 40–70% from their peak.
Margins have evaporated.
Inventory is sitting.
Retailers are discounting like crazy.
Meanwhile…
Lab-grown diamonds:
✔ Bigger stones
✔ Higher quality
✔ Better margins
✔ Faster sales
✔ Consistent supply
✔ 14K gold jewelry ready-to-sell
✔ Customers LOVE them
If you’re a jewelry company, you already see it with your own eyes.
🔥 The Real Reason Lab-Grown Jewelry Is Winning: Customers Aren’t Stupid
Customers today are different. They’re:
-
Smarter
-
Price-aware
-
Quality-focused
-
Social media influenced
-
Trend-driven
When someone can buy a 3 carat lab-grown diamond for the price of a 0.30 carat natural, the decision is NOT emotional… it’s logical.
And logic always wins.
⚠️ The Next Industry Shakeout Is Starting — And Only One Type of Company Will Survive
There are only 3 kinds of jewelry companies right now:
1️⃣ Companies still in denial
2️⃣ Companies making the switch slowly
3️⃣ Companies scaling aggressively with lab-grown (these will become the next leaders)
The companies blocking lab-grown are the ones that will collapse first.
Why?
Because customers made the choice already.
The industry just hasn’t caught up.
