Which should I choose?!

The decision between selecting a nautral or lab grown diamond is a personal choice with benefits and drawbacks to both decisions. It's important to consult a trusted jeweler who will explain your options, answer your questions, and help you choose which diamond is best for you.

Natural vs. Lab grown Diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds are substantially less expensive than natural diamonds which may allow for the purchase of a larger stone. However, because of their unlimited supply, they offered next to zero long term value, and their prices continue to decline.  As growing technology continues to improve, lab-grow diamond quality is nearing "perfection", so each stone manufactured becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from one another.

On the other hand, natural diamonds carry a larger initial cost (we like to call this an initial investment) but they traditionally retain their value (or even increase) over time. Given their finite nature, each diamond is characteristically unique and one-of-a-kind.
