Ivana Jewels
With certified lab-grown diamonds now priced around 80% below comparable natural stones and the steep annual falls of recent years easing, the brand says the wait-and-save logic that drove earlier hesitation no longer holds for Indian shoppers.
Ahmedabad, 18 June 2026: For the first time in years, lab-grown diamond prices are holding steady rather than falling. After a slide that saw values drop sharply since 2020 on the back of surging production in India and China, market trackers now place 2026 prices roughly 15% to 30% below 2023 levels and close to a production-cost floor for certified stones. Ivana Jewels, India’s premium lab-grown diamond jewellery brand, says the shift is already changing how Indian buyers shop: with prices unlikely to fall much further, more are choosing to buy now and size up rather than wait.
“For two or three years, the smartest thing a buyer could do was wait, because the same diamond was cheaper every few months,” said Aarav Patel, Senior Gemologist at Ivana Jewels. “That has changed. Prices have flattened, and a certified lab-grown stone today costs around 80% less than a natural diamond of the same grade. We are seeing customers who came in for a half-carat leave with a full carat for a similar budget. The conversation has moved from ‘should I wait’ to ‘how much more stone can I get’.”
What the numbers show
The wider market backdrop is striking. Industry trackers report that lab-grown diamonds now sell at roughly 80% below comparable natural diamonds, and that in the United States lab-grown already accounts for the majority of engagement rings. India is both a major production hub and one of the fastest-growing markets, with demand led by bridal buyers as larger stones become affordable. Against that backdrop, Ivana Jewels’ own figures tell a local story: the average piece sells for around ₹50,000, and oval cuts are its most-ordered shape, accounting for roughly 30% to 40% of engagement orders as buyers look for the most visible size their budget allows.
Certified engagement rings, priced to stretch further
An engagement ring is one of the largest single jewellery purchases most people make, and with prices no longer in free-fall, it is one buyers are increasingly comfortable making now rather than deferring. Ivana Jewels’ best lab grown diamond engagement ring options are graded by IGI or SGL and set in BIS-hallmarked 14kt and 18kt gold, so buyers can check cut, colour, clarity and carat before they commit. Because a lab-grown stone is physically, chemically and optically identical to a mined one, the same budget reaches a larger or higher-graded diamond.
Why lab grown diamond rings are in demand
Demand for lab grown diamond rings has climbed as shoppers look for the brilliance and durability of a natural diamond at a more sensible price. The logic is straightforward: a saving of roughly 80% over a comparable natural stone can go towards a bigger centre stone, a more detailed setting, or simply a smaller bill. For engagements, anniversaries and festive gifting, that trade-off is winning over a growing share of buyers.
Understanding lab grown diamond price
Affordability remains the headline reason buyers explore the category, so it helps to know what sits behind the lab grown diamond price. Carat weight, cut, colour grade, clarity and certification all move the number, much as they do for mined diamonds. The difference is the starting point: a certified 1-carat lab-grown diamond in India now sits in the region of ₹25,000 to ₹45,000, with Ivana Jewels’ pieces running from below ₹25,000 up to ₹10 lakh and above, organised by budget so shoppers can browse straight to their range.
What affects lab grown diamonds price
When comparing options, the same four Cs drive lab grown diamonds price: larger carats, finer cuts, cleaner clarity and better colour each raise the figure. Even so, a premium lab-grown diamond usually lands well below a natural stone of similar grade, which is why many buyers find they can size up without going over budget.
Solitaire earrings, kept simple
Some pieces never date, and solitaire earrings are a clear example. Their pared-back design puts the diamond at the centre, which works as easily at a desk as at a wedding. Ivana Jewels’ solitaire earrings are certified and set in gold, making them a dependable choice for everyday wear or a gift that will still look right years from now.
Lab grown diamond earrings for every day
Beyond solitaires, lab grown diamond earrings run from classic studs through to statement designs, so there is a pair for most wardrobes and occasions. The mix of brilliance, certification and a far lower price has made earrings one of the fastest-moving categories in the brand’s range.
The bigger picture
For years, the story of lab-grown diamonds was falling prices. In 2026 the story is stability: values have settled near a production-cost floor for certified stones, while the gap with natural diamonds sits at its widest. For buyers, that removes the main reason to wait. Whether the goal is a certified engagement ring, a pair of solitaire earrings or a first fine-jewellery purchase, the value equation is as strong as it has been, and Ivana Jewels expects certified lab-grown jewellery to take an even larger place in how India buys diamonds.
