The Nitty Gritty: What's up everyone, I’m that guy Osiris and today we are going to be talking about Lab Diamonds. Lab diamond's popularity has been booming and People keep asking me what my opinion is on them and if they are worth it. Today we are going to dive in on the topic, give you my personal take and some tips on how to buy them. Learn about HTHP Diamonds and CVP methods for creating lab diamonds
The number one question I get is are lab diamonds "real" diamonds. The answer is yes. So please don't confuse them with a fake diamond like a Cubic Zirconia.
A lab diamond is "grown" inside a lab using tech that replicates the conditions needed for a natural diamond to grow. They are grown in weeks compared to a few billion years, so If you have the time to wait for a new nature diamond go for it! The Lab diamond is physically, chemically and optically the same as a mined natural diamond. Here are two side by side. Can you spot the difference? I’ll wait
My Personal Take, I see lab created diamonds in a positive light. They have their place in diamond alternatives. Its a great earth friendly option that's budget friendly. Lets look at the most obvious positive. PRICE. Lets compare these 2 carat diamonds side by side. Wow. Talk about bang for buck! Its hard to unsee this.

Thanks soooo much for sharing your background and your “take” on lab diamonds. Are Moissanite lab created diamonds?

@howlingwaters2741 Год назад

@luke184lisa Moissanite is its own gem. The discovery by Henri Moissan in a meteorite led to the synthesis of the mineral Silicon Carbide. (SiC) Diamonds are carbon😊 I have both. Moissanite is fiery, full of beautiful color, and has over 2.5 x light dispersion than diamond. An excellent cut, colorless, 2+ carat HPHT LGD is an achievable dream. I will say that the fire, brilliance, and color of Moissanite had me spoiled before I received my LGD🤩

@mikehawk6918 8 месяцев назад

Lab diamonds are synthetic, because they are synthesized through chemical synthesis. Natural diamonds are also synthetic, but they were synthesized naturally through the effects of gravity (heat and pressure). Definition of synthesis: a : the composition or combination of parts or elements so as to form a whole b : the production of a substance by the union of chemical elements, groups, or simpler compounds or by the degradation of a complex compound c : the combining of often diverse conceptions into a coherent whole also : the complex so formed

@LeahElisheva Месяц назад

@@mikehawk6918 I know. But in the diamond world, synthesized diamond means something that looks like a diamond, but has different chemical properties. Like moissanite. On the other hand, lab created diamonds are of the same chemical composition as raw diamonds.

Your refreshingly accurate. You did not discuss the pitfalls of resale of created diamonds. Many over the counter diamond buyers try to rip off customers telling them there is no value in the secondary market when the percentages are the same if they are honest. We repurchase them at the same percentage below cost as mined diamonds. We can not however make up for overcharged purchases they made. Fellow GIA grad

@nabinkarna7365 Год назад

I think I would differ. The whole point of the diamond business is rarity. Natural diamonds are rarer (can be debated) than the lab grown ones. So naturally, it will be expensive. Its like buying an authentic Rembrant and a oil color printed version of Rembrant. To the eyes and quality, it seems same and its artistic value is the same as well. But one would wonder, why someone pays millions for an authentic Rembrant and just a few bucks for the printed version?

@voidremoved Год назад

@@nabinkarna7365 Art is different. It is like comparing apples and paintings. But the diamond business.... You mean like the jewelry, gem quality diamond. The entire diamond business as a whole has a lot to do with industrial grade diamonds. That is where lab diamonds really shine. BTW sadly, about art... It comes to blue chip art... And people only pay your millions for your Rembrandt with a "d" because it is an investment to them, nothing more. Rich fools drive up the prices just to have items that have perceived value.

So nice to see someone say Diamonds are NOT an investment. This is absolutely true for a VAST majority of Engagement ring buyers. Regardless of whether it's a Lab or Mined diamond, you will Absolutely lose money trying to re-sell. And IMO it will be at LEAST a 50% loss for a mined diamond...usually it's closer to a 60-75% loss. And for a Lab diamond, retailers say there is no value in them whatsoever, and therefore no market for them. All lies, A jeweler/retailer will absolutely tell you your lab diamond is worth nothing, and just try to pay you for the metal...Then turn around sell that Lab diamond for as close to Lab market value or above if he/she can get it. ESPECIALLY if the diamond is a well cut certified Lab diamond with paperwork.

Hey there... Really enjoyed watching the video and the way you explained. i myself deal in diamonds, and in the current sceanrio where there is a massive shortage of rough diamond we have.. im sorry im from india(forgot to mention) and plus the increasing prices in rough diamond prices, it is really a pain these days explaining the customer about the current scenario, hence trying to promote the cvd diamond, also what you said about the value is completely true. When you actually compare the price of purchase and reselling , there is a vast difference for sure. Here still when we talk about cvd of hpht it feels as if you are talking about cubic zirconia, its kind of a taboo subject. But long story short, i believe cvd and hpht is the future... And we will definately see the shift in the market in coming future. Cheers

High Supply of Lab Grown Diamonds, Low Cost, Heavy Marketing and huge profit margin to the retailers (big plus point to the retailer), are one of the reasons why Lab Grown are getting their name in the market.

@actinglikeseals 2 года назад

wouldn’t the extra supply of lab diamonds, and ongoing optimization of their manufacture, eventually make the initial purchase of the lab diamond go down in value? I honestly would not care. I view my ring as a beautiful piece of jewelry. I’m not looking for an investment piece. Whether my stone came from a bubblegum vending machine or a volcano mine in Antarctica, I appreciate its beauty and enjoy wearing it 🥰

@OsirisDiamonds 2 года назад

Happy to hear my videos have been helpful. There are large chats about this topic. Gold is seen as a very long term investment. But more from the pure gold bullion buying. Not retail products as they always have a markup. Like a gold chain has the value of gold to make it plus the retail value of it being hand made. So it can be triple the price of the value of gold.

@mylifemyjourney1 2 года назад

Great to know, thanks for confirming this info.

@mylifemyjourney1 2 года назад

Would you say Middle-Eastern gold is a great investment? I noticed gold in America or Europe, mostly sell 14k or 18k but quality is different than Arab countries' gold. I understand that it can be due to mixing the raw medals to the gold, using high quality vs low rated medals.

@OsirisDiamonds 2 года назад

Gold,no matter what origin, will be priced to its value weather it’s 14 karat 10 karat 18 karat or 24 karat the value will always be the same. The only difference is you will be paid out a different price point depending the karat. If one ounce of pure 24 karat gold is valued at $1800 you will not be receiving that value if you bring a diluted 10k gold chain.

@joepiekl Год назад

I'm in Malaysia at the moment, and over here, the gold shops have the current gold price listed on the wall. When you buy something, they basically weigh it and charge you that price plus a designer's fee, which is usually pretty low. But if you go to the jewellers in the mall, they just have a price for the item, so I assume there's a much bigger markup compared to the price of the gold itself.

Been in the diamond industry for 20+ years. Diamonds should NOT be looked at as an investment… in the sense that it will increase in value. It’s an emotional purchase. I moved to selling lab grown 10 years ago before all the big stores started selling them… when they used to have gray tones. They’ve come a long way in quality since those days. One thing to mention about HPHT, they don’t always test as diamond on a diamond tester.. which can make it difficult to sell to a customer who’s on the fence. Great video!

They already get their goods on discount so why pay you the same rate as a wholesaler were they already get diamonds from. They are going to pay you less since its a cash risk to buy and hold goods till they sell. If you buy wrong you are royally screwed. Hence my point, these are not monetary investments.

Do you perhaps know where one can buy a high quality / cut Lab Grown Diamond?

@heatherhall7898 Год назад

Could you please discuss light performance. I want to purchase a lab grown diamond based on political and environmental (power cost vs mining). However, that sparkle is difficult to assess on line. GIA does not list cut grade only cut description. Thank you.

@Wetknees 7 месяцев назад

Lab grown diamond have more “fire” so if you’re looking for more sparkle and especially less money, that’s definitely the way to go. In the quiet, where did the prophet Hannah Montana “you get the best of both worlds”

@ccmissymc Год назад

Do you know of any places that sell or that are a reseller of the lab created diamonds (secondhand)?

@Wetknees 7 месяцев назад

Are you sure to don’t mean ELECTRO-magnetic?

I got mine in Brilliance, best prices, and we looked and compared for hours!!! the video they show for each stone is very good and they even let you see the certificate and details online as you shop. I liked the experience.

My wife currently has a 1-carat round diamond wedding ring. She would like to upgrade in size and shape to an oval diamond. Can her current ring setting be re-worked to hold an oval diamond?

@Alittlelsdy Год назад

Yes

@mannythephysio Год назад

Which lab grown Diamond company you recommend for an engagement and wedding ring?

@Alittlelsdy Год назад

Ritani if you research and feel comfortable hand picking. Yet other retailers do most of the work and charge for it :)

@bt8831 2 года назад

James Allen sells GIA certified diamonds, but the dont seem to be HPHT? Where can you buy online the HP HT lab created diamonds that have not been altered chemically? Thanks

@OsirisDiamonds 2 года назад

Follow this link www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/all-diamonds/?IsLabDiamond=True?a_aid=5a73fd85d5e0d These are all HPHT diamonds. See Cert Notes

@michelleokeefe5220 Год назад

I would absolutely love to shop where you recommend. They have great stuff but no 8 in or 7 and 1/2. Do you have a recommendation of anyone else that sells the sizes?

@OsirisDiamonds Год назад

Hi Michelle. I just looked and they sell rings to size 9. What ring are you looking at?

@michelleokeefe5220 Год назад

@paulknight6921 Год назад

All natural mined diamonds are priced in the trade using rapaport list and second hand or new is the same

@OsirisDiamonds Год назад

That is correct Paul.

@adang41 9 месяцев назад

I bought 1.00 ct lab grown diamond with IGI certified. E color, ideal cut, VS1 only $1000. It tests diamond, it looks beautiful as a diamond. I save a lot of money. If you buy natural diamond for the same range may be you pay around $8000 dollars when you sell it back you will lose at least 35-40% from what you purchased. So, what is the deal for natural diamond?

@ke0kie Год назад

What do you recommend for people not infected with diamond hype? What's the best materialism alternative for men buy so the woman that may or may not divorce them (flip a coin probability) can flex to other women and the public in general? Some elaborate face tattoo that says "I love John"?

@OsirisDiamonds 11 месяцев назад

Haha I say Lab diamonds. In the end, buy something your significant other is comfortable with. Our views dont always align with theirs. My wife loves large stones, I love small ones lol.

@garypierce7380 Год назад

We love our lab diamond… think it’s way better than the natural diamond we lost.

@garypierce7380 9 месяцев назад

@bensmiteherro9224 Because the lab diamond we replaced it with is a better cut than the natural diamond we lost. That makes it way better looking and way less likely to fall out.

@garypierce7380 9 месяцев назад

@bensmiteherro9224 Of course it would, it would be way less expensive.

@williamtell2053 Год назад

Two main difference in Lab diamond one using a small diamond as scaffolding and the other is made with pressure only

How does the vendor, Rare Carat measure up on lab created diamonds?

@mrhawk1924 Год назад

I love lab and moissanite diamonds. Thats why I have so many rings earrings bracelets and necklaces diamond 💎 but resale diamonds that are real is better. If you want to pawn

@OsirisDiamonds Год назад

Thats awesome. Pawn shops give 20% of value off real diamonds. I wouldn't say thats a great selling point.

I recently bought an HPHT Lab Diamond in D Color VVS1. Why is it that some jewelers prefer CVD over HPHT?

@gloria-pk2pk 11 месяцев назад

Yes agree with diamonds losing value. My husband and I spent a small fortune on my ring. Fast forward ten years later I watched the blood diamond movie and didn’t want anything diamond and resold it. Not only did it take a long time to sell I lost 60% of my retail purchase price.

@OsirisDiamonds 11 месяцев назад

Very common. Sorry to hear you had a negative experience. Now lab diamond solve that issue.
