All natural diamonds
At Spicer Greene Jewelers, we're passionate about providing our clients with the best and most enduring diamonds available—natural diamonds. We believe these exquisite gems are nature’s masterpieces, crafted over billions of years, to be worn, admired, and passed down through generations.
Natural vs. Lab Grown
Value
You might have heard about lab-grown diamonds recently. They've certainly grabbed headlines with their affordability and novelty. But there's a catch. While their lower upfront price may be attractive, lab-grown diamonds quickly depreciate in value due to market oversaturation. What may seem like a smart buy today could hold little to no resale value tomorrow.
Natural diamonds, however, tell a different story. Cherished across centuries, natural diamonds maintain and often appreciate their value, making them a meaningful investment and a timeless heirloom.
Value vs. Price: Know the Difference
As a savvy client, it’s crucial to understand the stark difference between retail price and true long-term value.
Retailers typically purchase lab-grown diamonds for roughly $50 per carat, reselling them at around $2,500, a staggering 50x markup. Yet, if you ever decide to upgrade or resell, you'll find these stones have virtually no trade-in value.
Natural diamonds, by contrast, cost retailers approximately $7,800 per carat and retail around $10,700, a modest 1.37x markup. Importantly, natural diamonds maintain significant trade-in and resale value, offering genuine financial flexibility and enduring worth.
At Spicer Greene, our Diamond Bar allows us to sustainably recycle natural diamonds from jewelry our clients no longer wear. Our "Buy, Sell, Upgrade" approach is not only practical but genuinely eco-conscious, reducing the need for new diamond mining and creation.
Choosing a natural diamond from Spicer Greene means selecting more than just beauty; it's investing in history, legacy, and true lasting value. Our dedication to authenticity and quality ensures your diamond remains a treasured piece for generations to come.
Clearing Up Confusion
Today's jewelry market can be confusing. Lab-grown diamonds are often marketed in ways that blur the line between synthetic and natural stones, leading to misunderstandings. At Spicer Greene Jewelers, transparency is paramount. For clarity, authenticity, and lasting value, we exclusively offer natural diamonds.
Lab vs. Natural Diamonds
Environmental Impact
Lab-grown diamonds might claim sustainability, but recent research paints a different picture. These diamonds require immense energy, often sourced from fossil fuels, resulting in significant carbon emissions. Many natural diamond producers, conversely, have adopted sustainable mining practices like land rehabilitation and renewable energy use.
By purchasing your natural diamond from Spicer Greene, you become part of a responsible cycle of diamond reuse. Our Buy/Sell/Upgrade model ensures diamonds remain in circulation, preserving both their beauty and environmental integrity.
When you choose Spicer Greene, you're not just choosing a diamond; you're choosing authenticity, legacy, and responsible stewardship for future generations.
