Natural vs Lab-Grown — Quick Decision Guide

Both are real diamonds — chemically identical, same Mohs 10 hardness. The trade-off is resale vs. budget.

• Pick natural for long-term resale (30–60% retention), heirloom value, geological story.
• Pick lab-grown for 40–60% savings — lets you buy 2–3x larger on same budget.
