Why All 1 Carat Lab Created Diamonds aren't the Same Price

You might be wondering:

  • "What's the price of a 1 carat lab diamond?"

  • "How much is a 1.5-1.75 carat emerald cut diamond?"

  • "What would it cost to get 4 carat total stud earrings?"

Unfortunately, the answer is always "it depends," as the price of a lab diamond varies greatly depending on the shape and quality of the diamond.

All diamonds, lab grown and mined, are priced at wholesale and retail based on an internationally accepted pricing system known as the Rapaport pricing method. That system prices diamonds based on their 4Cs, whether they are lab grown or mined. Discount and luxury retailers set their prices based on a discount percentage of the Rapaport price, regardless of the origin of the diamonds and Ada Diamonds is no exception to this industry-wide pricing strategy.
