Why We Offer Lab Diamonds
We carefully considered offering lab grown diamonds for the past several years. One of our favorite aspects of selling estate and antique pieces is the eco-friendly benefit of buying something pre-owned. We feel that purchasing an antique natural diamond is still the most environmentally conscious choice as the mining impacts on the earth and laborers has already been paid years ago and diamonds are supposed to last forever. Lab grown diamonds do consume energy to produce; however, that impact on the environment is much less significant than mining new natural diamonds.
We have been accumulating beautiful antique, vintage and pre-owned contemporary engagement ring mountings crafted in platinum and gold in anticipation of offering our customers a selection of beautiful and unique lab grown diamond engagement ring options. Mid 2023 we finally began to match up high quality IGI certified lab grown diamonds with these beautiful vintage mountings and offer these rings for sale to our customers.
Our main concerns that kept us from offering lab grown diamonds early on was their high cost relative to natural diamonds and the long-term value to our customers. The pricing has settled at a point that it makes excellent sense to consider purchasing a lab grown diamond engagement ring and demand has increased significantly. We have ideal round cut sizes from under one carat up to seven carats ready for immediate delivery.
EraGem is offering the same trade in policy and buy back policy for lab grown diamond and natural diamond engagement rings. We offer the full purchase price (less any tax paid) for the trade in of a lab diamond ring purchased from EraGem toward any other natural diamond ring or piece of jewelry at EraGem. This means that if our customer purchases a lab grown diamond ring now and at any time in the future they would prefer a natural diamond ring or something else we will give 100% of the purchase price towards another item or equal or greater value (with the difference paid). We also offer a buyback option at 65% of the original purchase price for lab grown diamond rings outside our 60 day full money back guarantee.
If you are looking for a magnificent eco (and budget) conscious engagement ring choice, please consider purchasing a lab diamond engagement ring from EraGem. Our in store certification as well as the IGI report will accompany each ring and it will arrive in a lovely EraGem presentation ring box.
