Today, the price of colored gems, pearls, and other precious gemstones is constantly increasing, but diamonds are unusual, and their prices are plummeting.
According to the latest global rough diamond price index, diamond prices have fallen 6.5% this year, down 18% from the all-time high in February 2022, according to the CNBC website. A year ago, a 1 carat natural diamond cost $6,700, and now it sells for $5,300. Industry insiders say that the price of diamonds will plunge further.

So what is the reason for the collapse in the price of natural diamonds?
The market for man-made diamonds is expanding. According to reports, in 2020, the market share of man-made diamonds was only 2.4%, and this year, it has reached 9.3%.
The technology of man-made diamonds has been improved, and today they are no different from natural diamonds, but their price is lower, consumers can buy the same quality diamonds at a lower price, and as the efficiency of the machine increases, the price of man-made diamonds is getting lower and lower.
According to the Daily Economic News, the price of man-made diamonds has fallen by 59% in the past three years, while retail profit margins are as high as 60%, which is much higher than natural diamonds.
The most essential difference between natural diamonds and artificial diamonds is that one is a treasure grown by nature, and the other is a product of modern technology, and we can choose to buy natural diamonds and artificial diamonds according to our own economic situation.
