The Truth About Diamond Pricing: What You’re Really Paying For
A diamond is forever—but so is the price tag, right?
If you’ve ever walked into a traditional jewelry store and felt overwhelmed by the cost of a diamond, you’re not alone. What most people don’t realise is that the price of a mined diamond isn’t just about carats and cuts—it’s also about clever marketing, artificial scarcity, and hidden markups.
Let’s pull back the curtain and explore what you’re really paying for—and why lab-grown diamonds are the smarter, more transparent choice for modern love.
1. The Illusion of Rarity: A Manufactured Myth
For decades, mined diamonds have been marketed as rare and precious. But in reality?
They’re not as rare as you think.
Diamond mining companies have long controlled supply through stockpiling—releasing just enough diamonds into the market to keep prices high. This manipulation fuels the illusion that diamonds are scarce and therefore, justifies the inflated prices.
Lab-grown diamonds, on the other hand, don’t play by these outdated rules. Their pricing reflects real value, not artificial scarcity.
2. Branding Over Brilliance
The traditional diamond industry is dominated by a few big players who have turned diamonds into symbols of status. They invest heavily in emotional marketing and charge accordingly.
When you buy a mined diamond from a luxury house, you’re not just paying for the gem—you’re paying for:
• Multi-million-dollar ad campaigns
• Boutique markups
• Heritage branding
• Global logistics and middlemen
But what about the diamond itself?
That cost is often a small fraction of what you actually pay.
With lab-grown diamonds, especially through Éternité Diamonds, you pay for what matters: quality, craftsmanship, and ethics.
