Lab Diamond Prices Drop — Natural Diamond Sales Surge

(PRESS RELEASE) At GN Diamond, we speak with over 4,000 independent retail jewelers each week, giving us a unique pulse on the industry. One trend is becoming unmistakably clear: natural diamonds are making a powerful comeback.

While large lab-grown diamonds have captured recent attention, their plunging prices are driving savvy consumers back toward the long-term value and rarity of natural, GIA-certified diamonds. In effect, lab diamonds are becoming billboards for larger natural diamonds—sparking customer interest but ultimately reinforcing the value of natural stones.

Rising Sales of Natural Diamonds & Jewelry

According to data from Tenoris, the average diamond sale in the U.S. has reached $15,284, a year-over-year increase of more than 20%. Retailers nationwide are reporting not only stronger sales of loose natural diamonds, but also increased demand for finished natural diamond jewelry.

Why Natural Diamonds? Why Now?

  • Mining is down, creating an overall shortage of natural diamonds in the U.S. market.
  • Lab-grown diamond prices are declining, raising concerns for consumers about long-term value.
  • Newly implemented tariffs on lab and natural diamonds are expected to drive up their costs further—making natural diamonds even more attractive.

All these factors are creating a unique opportunity for retailers to invest in natural inventory and capture higher-margin sales.

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson

When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy. Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision." The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
