The Rise of Lab-Grown Diamonds: Why DEF Color Diamonds Are Taking Over the Fine Jewelry Industry

In recent years, there has been a seismic shift in the fine jewelry industry towards lab-grown diamonds, and for good reason. The current market is hovering around $12 billion in global sales and is expected to exceed $20 billion by 2032. At Lumeniri, we're proud to be at the forefront of this revolution, offering premium lab-grown diamond fine jewelry that is as stunning as it is sustainable. One of the key factors driving this shift is the rise in the production of DEF color diamonds. In prior years, lab diamond growth was mostly concentrated on F, G, and H color, however production is now shifting to meet demand, a demand that is concentrated on top tier diamond fine jewelry. Furthermore, production is now able to reach total carat weights of 6 -10 cts if you can imagine! While the increasing demand is notable, the availability in the market is still limited, therefore resulting in premium pricing for this segment of colorless lab grown diamonds, especially when considering a top tier D color, coupled with VVS quality.

DEF color diamonds are renowned for their exceptional clarity and brilliance, making them the perfect choice for those seeking a truly breathtaking piece of jewelry. Unlike traditional mined diamonds, which often come with a hefty environmental and ethical price tag, lab-grown DEF color diamonds are not only visually indistinguishable but also significantly more environmentally friendly and ethically sourced.

 

Transparency & Traceability

At Lumeniri, we understand the importance of transparency and traceability in the diamond industry, which is why nearly all of our lab-grown diamonds over 1ct are certified by reputable organizations such as the International Gemological Institute (IGI) or the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). By choosing a D, E, or F color lab-grown diamond for your stud earrings, custom pendant, or made to order engagement ring from Lumeniri, you can rest assured knowing that your purchase is not only of the highest quality but also aligns with your values. Truth be told, our top selling pair of diamond stud earrings are in the range of 4.2-5.4 carat total weight pair in a E, VS1 color and clarity. 

 

Conscious Consumerism

As consumers become increasingly conscious of the impact of their purchasing decisions, lab-grown diamonds are quickly becoming the go-to choice for those who want to adorn themselves in luxury without compromising on their principles. With their unrivaled beauty and sustainability credentials, it's no wonder that there is a growing interest in colorless lab-grown diamonds. It’s exciting to see that the top tier lab grown diamonds are taking the fine jewelry industry by storm.
