Diamond Standard

Navigating the Diamond Divide: Lab-Grown vs. Natural Brands like Pandora have embraced lab-grown diamonds, but luxury leaders such as Tiffany & Co. and Cartier continue to focus on natural diamonds. Why? In a recent Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) interview, Cormac Kinney explains how the jewelry market is evolving. Mid-tier retailers are boosting sales with lab-grown gems, while luxury brands cater to those who value rarity and long-term prestige. Key Insight: Between 2016 and 2023, lab-grown diamond prices dropped nearly 77%(1). Meanwhile, some natural diamonds, particularly those with higher carat weights and exceptional properties, even appreciated in value during this period(2). This underscores how certain natural diamonds continue to stand out as resilient, stable assets amidst shifting market dynamics.

In his interview with The HBAR Bull, Cormac Kinney highlights the distinct regulatory position of CARATS in the digital asset space. "CARATS stand out in the digital asset world as they are not just digital tokens but fractions of a physical commodity, directly linked to the wireless chip within the Coin. This unique creation process not only exempts CARATS from securities regulations but also from the rules governing virtual currencies. This dual exemption allows CARATS to operate in a regulatory space that few other digital assets can, offering a new way for investors to engage with real-world commodities through digital means." 🔗 For more insights into the regulatory advantages of CARATS, watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/dkr_awrj #HBARBull #DigitalAssets The HBAR Foundation
