India's Wedding Jewellery Trends: Rising Lab-Grown Diamond Demand and Natural Diamond Appeal
India's wedding season shows a trend toward higher spending with brides favoring larger lab-grown diamond stones, such as 2-carat solitaires, over multiple smaller pieces, according to a Surat-based jeweller. Lab-grown diamond exports have surpassed natural diamonds in volume, reflecting growing market acceptance. However, natural diamonds remain valued for their unique formation history and distinct characteristics, which lab-grown diamonds, produced rapidly under controlled conditions, cannot replicate. Both types offer different appeals to consumers amid evolving preferences.
