The beauty, industrial, and jewelry industries all rely on diamonds for their unique properties, but mined diamonds come with high costs and ethical concerns. Lab-grown diamonds could offer a more affordable and sustainable alternative across these sectors, unlocking new opportunities in skincare, industrial tools, and polishing services.
One approach could be to develop three parallel business models leveraging lab-grown diamonds:
Each market has distinct beneficiaries - from beauty-conscious consumers to manufacturers focused on operational costs to jewelers balancing quality and sustainability.
Initial testing could help validate key assumptions:
Positioning would be crucial - framing lab-grown diamonds as technological advancements rather than inferior alternatives. For industrial clients, cost-comparison tools could demonstrate long-term savings, while beauty products might highlight purity and sustainability.
An MVP approach could start small:
For skincare, small batches using commercially available lab-grown diamond dust could test the concept with boutique beauty brands. Industrial applications might begin by supplying replacement tips for existing tools rather than complete systems. Polishing services could launch locally before expanding regionally.
This multi-pronged approach leverages the same core technology across different industries, with industrial applications potentially offering the fastest return while beauty products could deliver higher margins over time.
