Diamonds are forever, but mining might not be. The diamond market is nearly split down the middle: 54% of diamonds sold in US jewelry stores are natural and 46% are lab-grown, according to data from diamond industry research company Tenoris. Diamonds are forever, but mining might not be.   While lab-grown stones gain popularity and become less expensive, buyers are still shelling out for bigger, more-expensive natural diamonds, per Axios.   The average natural diamond this year is selling for $6.6k, bumping the average overall diamond price to ~$4.6k — much higher than before lab-grown diamonds became popular. The average natural diamond size is also ~50% larger than it was before lab-grown stones were introduced.   The fifty-fifty split might come down to generational preferences: Younger shoppers are happy to save money when buying a diamond, while older consumers are more attached to the rarity of natural stones.
