Show Notes
The diamond market is in turmoil as lab-grown diamonds surge in popularity, causing a significant drop in natural diamond prices. Engagement rings, once a six-thousand-dollar investment, now average five thousand two hundred dollars. Lab-grown diamonds, identical in quality but cheaper, have seen a dramatic increase in sales, from five percent in 2019 to forty-five percent in 2024. This shift has led to a seventy-four percent price drop for lab-grown diamonds since 2020, as production tripled. Miners and retailers are struggling, with De Beers, once a dominant player, now facing a two-point-three-billion-dollar hit and a five-hundred-eleven-million-dollar EBITDA loss. The industry is forever changed, with natural diamonds becoming a luxury item and lab-grown diamonds dominating the budget market.
