The lab-grown diamond market in April 2025 exhibited distinct pricing trends across clarity and color categories, reflecting the ongoing change in consumer preferences, manufacturing efficiencies, and competitive market dynamics. Below is a detailed analysis comparing the data from March and April 2025.
In the premium grades, flawless (FL) diamonds experienced a slight price increase, rising from $808 in March to $844 in April. This marginal growth indicates a softening demand for flawless diamonds, though their premium appeal remains strong. Similarly, internally flawless (IF) diamonds demonstrated a modest increase from $621 to $626, maintaining their position as a stable option for consumers seeking high-quality lab diamonds. These trends highlight the enduring appeal of premium-grade diamonds among discerning buyers.
In the mid-range clarity categories, the market exhibited mixed results. F/VVS1 diamonds showed a minor price increase, rising from $515 in March to $597 in April, suggesting a rebound in demand for high-clarity diamonds in this tier. At the same time, G/VVS2 diamonds continued their upward trajectory, increasing from $617 to $653, reflecting strong consumer interest in diamonds that balance quality and affordability. These shifts underscore selective purchasing patterns among value-conscious buyers seeking premium mid-range options.
The lower-tier clarity grades experienced notable fluctuations, particularly in the SI1 category. J/SI1 diamonds saw a significant price increase from $1,038 in March to $1,236 in April, signaling a resurgence in demand for lower-grade diamonds. This may be attributed to cost-sensitive buyers or the increased use of these diamonds in fashion jewelry. On the other hand, K/SI2 diamonds remained stable at $1,272 across both months, reflecting consistent interest from budget-conscious buyers seeking larger carat sizes.
Our analysis of the Top 5 Popular Lab-Grown Diamond Shapes from March to April 2025:
In April 2025, round-cut maintained their dominance as the most popular lab-grown diamond shape, capturing 51.97% of the market, though this represented a 3.89% decline from March’s 55.86%, potentially signaling a shift in demand toward alternative shapes. Cushion-cut lab-grown diamonds demonstrated substantial growth, increasing from 9.00% to 10.83%. Oval-cut lab-grown diamonds also saw a significant increase in popularity, rising from 7.86% to 10.24%. Emerald-cut lab-grown diamonds saw a reduction in market share from 11.43% to 9.12%, suggesting a shift in consumer preferences toward more brilliant cuts. Meanwhile, radiant-cut diamonds, with their hybrid faceting that merges the brilliance of round cuts and the structured geometry of emeralds, continued to gain traction, increasing from 5.87% to 6.92%.
These trends show a shift in the lab-grown diamond market, with consumers favoring shapes that combine brilliance, precision, and unique designs. Rising demand for cushion, oval, and radiant diamonds highlights a preference for individuality, while the slight decline in round and emerald cuts reflects diversifying tastes.
