Natural diamonds are the result of unique processes beneath the earth’s surface that took place over millions of years, making these gems remarkable pieces. A natural diamond represents forever, bringing added symbolism to wedding bands or engagement rings. They are rarer than lab-grown diamonds, often making them more valuable and exceptional.
Natural Diamond Benefits
Natural, earth-made diamonds are the classic choice for timeless jewelry. In addition to their timelessness, natural diamonds have several benefits that make them an attractive option for wedding bands, engagement rings and other fine jewelry.
Uniqueness
Lab-grown diamonds are produced at scale and can be made limitlessly. Natural diamonds, on the other hand, are limited to the number that the earth creates. We cannot make more natural diamonds, so they are rarer than lab-made diamonds. This rarity makes them more unique and symbolic.
Durability
Diamonds are incredibly durable gems. They resist considerable scratching, chipping, heat, and other damage. Still, you should take off your diamond engagement ring or other jewelry when engaging in certain activities to prevent damage or wear.
Value
The rarity of natural diamonds versus lab-made diamonds is reflected in the pricing for these gems. Natural diamonds are generally valued higher than lab-made diamonds. The relative abundance of lab-made diamonds means they may not hold value over time.
