Can I Re-sell a Lab Grown Diamond?
Yes. There is a small but growing re-sale market for laboratory grown diamonds Just like mined diamonds. A purchaser of a lab created diamond can expect to resell their lab diamond at a similar discount to what they would receive if selling a second hand mined diamond.
Adamastar Diamonds will gladly purchase laboratory-grown diamonds from you, providing of course it is not damaged or chipped.
Because lab diamond gemstone sales are relatively new, there are not as many outlets that will buy back a lab grown diamond, yet. Pawn shops and traditional jewellers may not yet buy lab diamonds however, that is changing as the industry grows.
It is important to note that both grown & mined diamonds do not increase in value over time, relative to inflation, and should not be considered an investment.
Adamastar Diamonds suggests that you view their lab diamond purchase as a luxury, discretionary purchase, not an investment. You should never expect to be able to sell your diamond for more or the same of what you originally paid for it at retail, whether natural or lab grown, relative to inflation. This is because retailers who buy your diamond from you must be able to re-sell that stone for a profit.
