How to appraise lab-grown diamonds

How to appraise lab-grown diamonds?

Appraising lab-grown diamonds involves evaluating their quality, authenticity, and market value using a structured approach that combines scientific testing, industry standards, and market insights. Here’s a step-by-step guide to their appraisal:
  1. Confirm Authenticity: Ensure It’s a Lab-Grown Diamond (Not a Simulant or Natural)
  2. Evaluate Quality Using the 4Cs (Same as Natural Diamonds) Like natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are graded by the 4Cs—the universal standard for diamond quality.
  3. Assess Treatment and Enhancements. Lab-grown diamonds may undergo treatments to improve color or clarity, which can affect value.
  4. Consider Production Method (HPHT vs. CVD) The growth method (HPHT or CVD) can influence value, though the difference is often minimal for high-quality stones.
  5. Reference Market Data and Pricing Trends.

At De Éternel, every diamond we offer undergoes meticulous hands-on inspection—we simply refuse to settle for anything less than exceptional. Such is our confidence in this rigorous curation process that we stand behind an industry-unrivaled trade-in guarantee, a benefit no other major retailer in the lab-grown diamond space can match.
