Natural diamonds are quite the investment. Especially if you purchase diamonds that are certified from reputable labs like GIA and IGI. Plus there are so many alternatives available to natural diamonds and they look identical. And if they look identical, why are they priced differently?
The thing is, nothing comes close to the value of a natural diamond that was created without any interference and by nature’s perfect design.
Their timeless appeal is one of the key reasons why it will always remain worth your money.
Let’s explore this in detail.
The two main reasons behind this are:
We know that diamonds are formed over millions and billions of years. They are found only in select locations around the world. It’s not like you can start digging your backyard and fetch natural diamonds. (Even if you dig deep enough with the best machinery)
All these factors determine the final value of a diamond. Every cut and inclusion is taken into consideration and also the source of the diamond.

Unlike other investments, diamonds do not come with maintenance overheads. It is as good as cash in hand and the market value of diamonds ensures that your money is safe and has potential to yield good returns.
Keeping the technicality aside, diamonds are valuable for the sentimental value they provide.
Even though there are alternatives to a natural diamond, they don’t feel the same.
Consider this- You want to buy a diamond to mark a special occasion in your life. Doesn’t it make more sense to go for the real deal?
Diamonds are passed down from generation to generation and hold great emotional value. They remain as good as new virtually forever.
What an end customer purchases from a retail store was probably manufactured in another city or state. Maybe the diamond was sourced from a mine in Botswana. The certification was from a lab in America and so on.
Cutting and polishing diamonds is a job that employs local craftsmen and artisans who would have found it difficult to find livelihood in a white collar job. Mine workers depend on this source of income.
Modern technology has made it possible for every customer to know where a diamond comes from and if it was mined ethically. It is also the responsibility of a customer to choose the right diamond.
It is possible for natural diamonds to be sustainable as well. The manufacturing has to be handled responsibly. Being conscious about the planet is a choice. It cannot be achieved unless social and environmental actions are part of our everyday life.
