"What should I choose? Natural or Lab-grown diamonds?"

The price per carat of colourless diamonds and fancy colour diamonds - particularly pink - has increased over time and retailers are generally willing to buy-back or trade-in natural diamonds In general, lab-grown diamonds are priced 20-40 per cent lower than natural diamonds Manufacturing diamonds 'from scratch' means factors affecting quality can be controlled and more high quality diamonds can be produced.

Natural fancy colour diamonds account for a tiny percentage of all diamonds mined Natural pink diamonds cannot be truly synthesised as the cause of their colour can't be replicated in a factory; they are unique Lab-grown blue, pink and yellow diamonds are priced at a fraction of the cost of natural fancy colour diamonds, making them accessible to consumers with a smaller budget.

Mined diamonds produce 69 per cent less carbon emissions per carat than synthetic diamonds. . Source
