How long do lab-grown diamonds hold their value?

However, if you determine value in a non-financial sense, such as the hardness, quality and beauty of the diamond, then lab-grown diamonds will hold their value indefinitely. As they are chemically identical to natural diamonds, lab diamonds are forever, as the saying goes.

Are laboratory-grown diamonds the same as natural diamonds?

Laboratory-grown diamonds have essentially the same chemical, optical and physical properties and crystal structure as natural diamonds. Like natural diamonds, they are made of tightly-bonded carbon atoms. They respond to light in the same way and are just as hard as natural diamonds.

Who invented the first lab-grown diamond?

The first documented, reproducible lab-grown diamond was devised by Hall in 1954. He was an unrecognized chemistry genius at General Electric. Four years of experiments and failed attempts, and a lack of respect from his colleagues and managers, finally ended in his triumph.
