It’s a beautiful, en- dearing word and an exclu- sive one. Regardless of past or present diamond com- parison and competition, diamonds mined from the earth will always hold a commanding space due to one word: Natural. It’s a word lab-grown or simulants can never touch. Let’s examine the white elephant in the room and how powerful “natural” really is. As white diamond prices fluctuate and demand varies, I wonder if the meaning and associations of natural have been properly maximized. As mines close and the clarity of 1-3 carat stones are reduced, the word “natural” should take center stage. Debates continue about diamond “rarity” with many denoting a more appropriate term: “scar- city.” Typically, any in demand item benefits from limited editions or short supplies (genuine or cre- ated). Think about designers who only create 3,000 specific styles for the world and then quick- ly discontinue further production. This “trick” works in the short term, but when supply comes gushing back or the inventory remains at a steady pace, the rarity or scarcity factor is weakened. Deploying Diamond Synonyms Matched meanings to “natural” offer amazing po- tential. For example, “diamond” synonyms are: “essential,” “instinctive,” “natal,” and “geologi- cal.” These are outstanding words to update each diamond story. And, we have only just begun. Notice our use of the word “diamond.” In the US and leading labs across the globe, a simulant or LGD may not be called “diamond.” That’s a heavy sales point. Leverage the honest and dynamic word of “natural” when referencing dia- monds. It is a word forever directly associated with diamond.
