Get the Best Deal on Your Lab-Grown Diamond with the “Smart Choice” Price Comparison Tool

For so many reasons, lab-grown diamonds are the smart choice when it comes to selecting your engagement ring. They’re sustainable and ethical, identical to mined diamonds, readily available, customizable, industry-certified, and wildly popular. They’re also dramatically more affordable.With lab-grown diamonds costing up to 70% less than mined stones of equivalent carat weight and quality, your budget goes significantly further. This price advantage allows you to opt for a much larger center stone than would be possible with a traditional mined diamond. With our diamond price calculator, you can see how large a diamond you can buy and how much you can save when you purchase a Clairamor lab-grown diamond over a comparable mined diamond.

"Smart Choice" Price Comparison Tool

Simply move the slider to the carat weight diamond you’re considering. You’ll instantly see how much a mined diamond ring will cost at a traditional retailer compared to what the same ring will cost from Clairamor. You’ll even see how much you’ll be saving.

How to use the diamond price calculator

The calculator takes two inputs. Cut Type is the diamond shape: round, oval, radiant or emerald. Carat Weight is the slider, from 2 to 5 carats. For that combination it shows three figures. Traditional Retail is the estimated price of a ring with a mined diamond of that shape and weight at a traditional retailer, in a standard platinum setting and carrying the brand-name and storefront markup. Clairamor Direct Price is what the same ring costs from Clairamor with a lab-grown diamond of identical chemical and visual specifications. Savings is the difference. The figures are estimates from comparable market data, so treat them as a guide to the size of the gap rather than a quote: the final price of a ring moves with the stone's color, clarity and cut grade, its certification, and the setting you choose.

A worked example. Set Cut Type to Oval and the slider to 2 carats. The tool shows about $24,200 at a traditional retailer against about $1,550 from Clairamor, a saving of roughly $22,650. Move the slider to 3 carats and the gap widens to about $62,500 against $2,200: mined-diamond prices climb steeply with carat weight, while lab-grown prices rise far more gently. To turn the estimate into a real price, pick a setting from our lab-grown diamond engagement rings and add a stone in the ring builder; the total updates as you choose.

Diamond price calculator FAQ

No. It compares purchase prices. Resale value is a different number: any diamond, mined or lab-grown, sells second-hand for a fraction of its retail price, and the resale market for lab-grown stones is thin because new ones keep getting cheaper to grow. Our guide to whether lab-grown diamonds hold their value goes into the numbers. For insurance, insurers work from a replacement value, which comes from your receipt or a professional appraisal rather than an online estimate; our guide to insuring a lab-grown diamond explains what they ask for.

A lab-grown diamond is grown in a controlled environment in a matter of weeks rather than mined, so there is no scarcity premium and supply scales with demand. It is the same material, graded on the same 4Cs by the same laboratories, which is why the tool compares stones with identical specifications.

Within a carat weight, the stone's color, clarity and cut grade move its price the most, followed by its certification. The setting adds the metal, the style and any side stones. Our guide to lab-grown diamond prices lists current prices by carat, shape, color, clarity and cut.

They are estimates from comparable market data for mined diamonds at traditional retailers. They show the size of the gap between the two ways of buying; they are not a quote for a specific stone, and the final price varies with color, clarity, certification and setting details.
