NATURAL EARTH MINED DIAMONDS

ADVANTAGES OF NATURALLY MINED DIAMONDS

  1. Rarity: Naturally mined diamonds are rare and are considered to be more valuable than lab-grown diamonds. They are often associated with luxury and are seen as a symbol of love, romance, wealth and status.

  2. Tradition: Natural diamonds have been used in jewelry for centuries and have a long tradition associated with them. Many people value the history and tradition of natural diamonds and prefer them for sentimental reasons.

  3. Long-term value: Natural diamonds have a strong secondary market and tend to hold their value over time. While we never recommend considering a diamond an investment, at present a naturally mined diamond is widely considered to be a significantly better investment than that of a lab-grown diamond.

  4. Perceived value: Natural diamonds are perceived as more valuable than lab-grown diamonds, which can be important for those who are looking to make a statement with their jewelry.

In conclusion, natural diamonds offer many advantages over lab-grown diamonds, including rarity, tradition, long-term value, and perceived value. However, they also have some disadvantages, including ethical concerns, high cost, quality inconsistencies, and limited availability. Ultimately, the choice between natural and lab-grown diamonds is a personal one, and depends on a variety of factors. At Milner we believe that natural diamonds should be the first option when purchasing a diamond, however we do understand that in certain circumstances or situations a laboratory grown diamond is the right choice for you. We are happy to work with consumers on ANY (lab-grown or natural) diamond purchases.
