When shopping for diamond jewelry, many buyers wonder about the resale value of their purchase—whether they are buying a natural diamond or a lab-grown one. One common concern is that lab-grown diamonds, despite their affordability and beauty, may have a lower resale value compared to natural diamonds. At SuperJeweler.com, we help customers navigate this concern with our unbeatable pricing, superior quality, and the promise of timeless value through exceptional design and craftsmanship.
In this article, we’ll address why resale value is often a secondary consideration for jewelry buyers and show how SuperJeweler makes lab-grown diamond jewelry an investment in personal style and meaningful moments—not just dollars and cents.
What Does “Resale Value” Really Mean?
Resale value refers to the amount of money a buyer can expect to receive when selling their diamond jewelry in the future. For natural diamonds, resale value is often tied to their rarity, perceived prestige, and global demand. Lab-grown diamonds, while chemically and physically identical to natural diamonds, lack the “natural rarity” factor, which can influence their resale value in traditional markets.
However, the truth is that most consumers don’t purchase diamond jewelry with the intention of reselling it. Diamonds are typically bought for personal milestones, such as engagements, weddings, or anniversaries, and hold far more emotional value than monetary value.
“Lab-grown diamonds represent an incredible value for what they offer: the same beauty, brilliance, and durability as natural diamonds, but at a fraction of the cost,” says Scott Berkebile, Vice President of SuperJeweler and a GIA Graduate Gemologist (GG). “For most of our customers, the emotional significance far outweighs the resale aspect.”
Why Resale Value Shouldn’t Be Your Primary Concern
Here’s why resale value shouldn’t overshadow the more important factors when buying diamond jewelry:
- Emotional Value Matters More
Diamonds are symbols of love, commitment, and achievement. The joy of wearing a beautiful engagement ring or sparkling earrings every day is priceless compared to the potential resale value years down the line.
- Affordability Changes the Equation
Lab-grown diamonds are significantly more affordable than natural diamonds, making them a smarter choice for buyers focused on maximizing their budget. By spending less upfront, buyers can invest in larger stones, better settings, or additional jewelry pieces—all without sacrificing quality.
- Most Jewelry Has Depreciating Value
Whether natural or lab-grown, most jewelry loses some of its retail value the moment it’s purchased. This is especially true for mass-market pieces that include retail markups. By offering up to 70% savings compared to traditional retailers, SuperJeweler ensures you’re getting maximum value for your money from the start.
How SuperJeweler Addresses Resale Concerns
At SuperJeweler, we understand that customers want to feel confident about the value of their purchase. Here’s how we help mitigate resale concerns:
- Unbeatable Pricing
Our lab-grown diamonds are priced far below those of traditional retailers, making them an exceptional value from the moment you buy. For example:
- A 1-carat lab-grown diamond engagement ring at SuperJeweler starts at just $1,299, compared to over $5,000 for a natural diamond of similar quality.
- Our 2-carat lab-grown diamond stud earrings are priced at just $999.99, saving you thousands compared to natural diamonds.
These prices mean that even if resale is a concern, you’ve spent significantly less upfront, reducing any potential future loss.
