Lab-grown diamonds are basically diamonds that are not fetched out of mines i.e. they are not natural but have the same chemical and physical properties as their natural diamond counterparts. Lab-grown diamonds are exposed to the same amount of heat and pressure that of a naturally grown diamond but in laboratory condition. The demand for these lab-grown diamonds has increased considerably in recent years, because of which they are likely to change the scenario of gifting trend. Here are some of the important reasons why –
- Cheaper than organic diamond – Lab-grown diamonds are cheaper than natural diamond even though they have almost the same properties. They shine as bright as natural diamonds and are also tough. Something that makes them cheap is their non-historical value. Organic diamonds are found in the natural surrounding and they take billions of years to form, therefore, they have historical significance attached to them which is timeless. Moreover, lab-grown diamonds take only weeks and they are ready to use in any jewellery or gifting item. Lab diamonds can’t beat organic diamonds in their historical value but historical value is important only for the people who want to buy them as a symbol of royalty and most of the people don’t. The majority of people buy diamond ornaments for gifting purposes or for using diamond ornaments in daily life, such as jewellery. This is the reason why they are cheaper and being cheap in price will definitely increase their demand. Hence, affordability is one of the reasons why lab grown diamonds uk will ease the gifting trend.
- Abundance – We cannot have control over the quantity of natural diamond and that is one of the reasons why they are rare and expensive in cost. But we certainly can produce lab-grown diamonds as many as possible. Large quantity means the availability of the commodity to a greater number of people. Now, people would be able to buy gifting items of lab-made diamonds because there would be no scarcity in their production. This was obviously not possible with the natural diamonds, only a few had the ability and availability to purchase such a luxury commodity. Now a common man would also be able to buy and gift with diamonds.
- Eco-friendly – While extracting the diamonds from mines, a lot of land, noise and air pollution is caused. All the natives who live in the vicinity need to be relocated to some other place and the worst of all; workers in these mines are not paid well enough and are not provided basic amenities for their risk-taking the job, something which violates human rights.
- Customization – Can you make changes to the naturally found diamond? Of course not but with the help of technology and research, scientists continuously try and experiment with lab-grown diamonds. Every new research brings out a new and exciting result. Recently Germany has made the largest diamond ever; this is a solid example of how the future of lab-grown diamond is going to look like. Because of all these reasons people are buying lab grown diamond engagement rings and other jewellery, in general more than ever.
