Lab-Grown Diamonds Continue to Grow in Popularity

Lab diamonds are growing in popularity and have become the top choice for thousands of consumers. Head of Product for Ritani, Ria Papasifakis, explained in a live Varney & Co business segment that lab-grown diamonds have become an “affordable entryway” for young couples when purchasing their first engagement rings or even luxury jewelry.

In a recent announcement from MarketsandMarkets™, the projected CVD Lab-grown Diamonds Market will be worth $15.9 billion by 2027. 

“As technology improves and consumers further accept lab-grown diamonds as an option, we are seeing these types of diamonds are growing in demand as well,” said Ria Papasifakis, Head of Product at Ritani.

Valentine’s Day sales this year at Ritani shined a spotlight on the success of lab diamonds in the market. Some interesting takeaways from this year so far include:

• Over 40% of lab-grown diamond purchases identified as female
• Lab-grown heart-shaped diamond pendants rose in popularity
