Natural diamonds can only be re-sold for half, or 6o% of the price, so it is not exactly value preserving. While gold, a traditional value-maintaining merchandise, has become unprecedently expensive due to speculation. The price of K gold, of which having gold as its main ingredient, inevitably rise as well. In a market like this, what other cost-effective products do we have? Why is lab grown diamond platinum ring a wise choice?
1. Natural is expensive, but not value preserving
You may have heard of how natural diamonds can maintain its value when buy a natural diamond. But is this true?
Most natural diamonds do not worth in term of investment. natural diamonds could be re-sold easily, but that only apply to natural diamonds of 1 carat or above, at certain grading of color, cutting and purity and have certificates issued by international appraisal institute. Even with all these conditions met, natural diamonds can only be re-sold for 50-60% of its original price. Therefore, saying “natural diamonds is value-maintaining” is not accurate.
While lab grown diamonds cannot be re-sold for a good price, it only cost 10% of natural diamonds and is very similar to natural both in terms of appearance and quality. For example, a 1 carat diamond being re-sold for 60% of the price means a loss of HK$20000. And this amount is enough for a purchase of 4 pieces of 1-carat lab grown diamonds.
2. Lab grown diamonds has similar quality as natural
Lab grown diamonds becomes a popular substitute for natural diamonds for some good reasons.

3. The price of platinum has the potential to rise
Platinum is the rarest metal on earth for the time being, and its excavation rate is way lower than that of gold. Platinum is mostly more expensive than gold during 1985 and 2011. Due to economic reasons in the recent years, gold become a relatively risk-free investment and thus the price of gold also reach its peak over the last 35 years. Therefore, some analysis suggests that the rise of gold price is reaching an end. On the contrary, there is lots of room the price of platinum to rise.
4. Platinum and lab grown diamonds are everlasting
We pursuit the shine, beauty and everlastingness of natural diamond. But we eventually have our own diamond ring, we tend to leave it inside the safe or jewelry box because of how valuable it is. If so, why should not one consider buying lab grown diamonds, which share similar quality with natural diamonds?
Lab grown diamonds can be lasting. Like natural diamonds, the spark and shine of lab grown diamonds will never change. Even if it is stained, the stain will only stay on the surface and can be cleaned easily.
Platinum is a pure metal. Its natural silver-white color could not be eroded or go away. Lab grown diamonds platinum ring, therefore, will never lose it shine and will be as everlasting as one desire.
