Natural diamond prices have dropped 30-40% from their 2021 highs due to oversupply, weaker demand, and a surge in cheaper lab-grown diamonds, whose prices have fallen over 75% since 2022. This has pressured mid-tier natural diamonds, leaving only the largest, highest-quality stones holding value. The diamond mining sector, especially in economies like Botswana, faces significant challenges, while Bitcoin's fixed supply and fungibility contrast sharply with diamonds' declining market position. The future depends on whether Chinese lab-grown diamond production continues to expand, further impacting natural diamond prices.
