>>510087716 (OP)diamon industry is over everywhere. artificial lab diamonds are 1/10th the price and only scientists can tell them apart. they have no resale value. real diamons resale value is dropping too, diamonds as a store of value or wealth are over. their prices are dropping and the only real value is in the artistic value or designer value of the designer or jewellery maker. not the stones.
if you have family heirlooms sell them don't keep them because the value is dropping unless very very desriable.
what the industry won't say is that after a divorce, resold engagement rings are almost worthless. a lab diamond engagement ring has no value when resold and a real diamond engagement ring when resold is worth a fraction of its original price.
real diamonds for industry is almost totally over. lab diamonds for industrial use will be 100% of the market in a few years.
