Natural Diamond Prices Stabilize as Lab-Grown Diamonds Gain Popularity in India
Natural diamond prices have declined 20-30% from post-pandemic highs but are stabilizing, with larger stones seeing price increases, according to De Beers. The company is focusing on India, a growing market driven by younger consumers, to offset weaker demand in China. Meanwhile, lab-grown diamonds are rapidly gaining popularity in India, attracting legacy brands, startups, and investors. E-commerce platforms report significant growth in lab-grown diamond sales, reflecting expanding consumer acceptance beyond metropolitan areas.
