June Hong Kong Jewelery & Gem Fair 6.23
From June 22 to 25, 2023, our company Foshan #HighLight?Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. participated in the "Jewellery&Gem ASIA Hong Kong (JGA) for short".
This 4-day JGA showcases?a variety of jewelry products, tools, equipment and technical solutions, and also holds?a series of seminars and wonderful on-site special programs, providing a platform for communication and business opportunities for the industry.

On June 23rd, the second day of the JGA exhibition, we focused on cooperating with major manufacturers, and unexpectedly got a dozen jewelry retailers who came to our booth. We had in-depth exchanges with them and shared our #diamondMarket?experience of?12 years in diamond materials:
According to observations, at this exhibition, all kinds of gemstones showed different price trends. In terms of diamonds: large-carat?diamonds are not affected much, while conventional diamonds are slightly sluggish due to the impact of the marriage market and?#CulturedDiamonds.

A 1-carat natural diamond of slightly above-average quality sold for $6,700 a year ago,?today the same diamond sells for $5,300. One of the reasons why?#DiamondPrices?have started to decline is the growing market for?#man-madediamonds.

In 2020, the market share of?#artificialdiamonds?is only 2.4%. So far this year, that percentage has reached 9.3%. Man-made diamonds, grown in a laboratory-simulated high-temperature, high-pressure environment, are almost indistinguishable from natural diamonds, but at a lower price, which has led more consumers to turn to man-made diamonds. As #MPCVDdiamondMachines?become more efficient, the price of man-made diamonds is getting lower and lower, and retail profit margins are also expanding.
?
In the past three years, the price of man-made diamonds has fallen by 59%, while retail profit margins can reach 60%, which is much higher than the 34% of natural diamonds. It is an inevitable trend that the price of global diamonds will further fall. It is estimated that in the next 12 months, the price of natural diamonds will drop by 20% to 25% compared with the current price, and will drop by 40% from the peak in February last year.
On the other hand, #fancyColorDiamonds have attracted more attention, the market size of cultivated diamonds has expanded significantly, and the market acceptance has also continued to increase.
