Natural diamond prices have crashed to their lowest in 25 years
- Natural 1-carat diamonds now cost around $4,200 — down from $6,000 in 2021 — their lowest price in over 25 years.
- Lab-grown 1-carat diamonds have fallen 74% since 2020 to just $700 to $1,500 — approaching their production cost floor.
- Lab-grown diamonds now feature in over 55% of US engagement rings — but natural diamonds are clawing back share as rarity becomes a selling point again.
