Choose lab-grown for what it makes possible. At the same budget the stone on the hand is roughly twice the size. A riviera that would be a six-figure commission in natural stones becomes a piece you can actually wear to dinner. Matched pairs, fancy colours, eleven emerald cuts in a row: briefs that rarity would veto, brilliance answers. That freedom is the product. Not a discount on rarity, a different brief altogether.
The craft does not change. The same atelier sets both kinds of stone, every piece is made to order the same way, and every stone above the melee line carries a report from an independent laboratory stating its grades and its lab-grown origin.
A purchase of beauty, not a store of value. We say it before you pay.
The resale truth, first
A lab-grown diamond should be bought with no expectation of resale value. Wholesale prices have fallen steeply since 2018 and were still drifting down through early 2026. Second-hand recovery runs from nearly nothing to a modest fraction of a retail price that is itself still falling. We price our lab stones to today's market, to the dollar, and reprice as it moves. In a falling market that is the only honest way to sell them, and it is why our lab prices are precise where our house prices are round.
From the House Selection, lab-grown
Reading the inventory.
Live and market-priced. When the market falls, so do these numbers. We consider that a feature.
Pieces built on brilliance
The signature pieces below are set with lab-grown stones and say so on every card. Each one exists because lab growing made its diamond weight honest to buy. The full inventory is in the lab-grown search.

Asked, answered plainly
Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?
Yes. Carbon in the same crystal, the same hardness, the same fire, graded by the same independent laboratories. What differs is origin and scarcity: it was grown in weeks in a machine built to grow it, and more can always be grown.
Do lab-grown diamonds hold their value?
No. A lab-grown diamond is a purchase of beauty, not a store of value, and we say so to every buyer before they pay. Wholesale prices have fallen for years and resale recovers little. Buy it for the hand and the years of wearing, never to resell.
Why buy a lab-grown diamond from Dagarias?
The same atelier, the same certification, the same eye that reads our natural stones. We price lab stones to the live market and reprice as it moves, so the falling market is passed to you rather than kept as margin.
