當「 #稀有」可以被複製,它還算稀有嗎?
路透社本週報導，全球鑽石龍頭 De Beers 出售案進入最後倒數。母公司英美資源集團，因近年天然鑽石價格下滑、實驗室合成鑽石崛起,正準備出售手中八成五的股份。
表面上這是一則併購新聞，根據我們深耕珠寶產業的觀察，我們發現更深的意涵。
執行長 Al Cook 受訪時，將市場形容為「K 型復甦」——頂級高品質鑽石需求持續走強,低階鑽石價格則長期低迷。國際評論點出了關鍵:真正衝擊鑽石的，不是產量，而是 #實驗室合成技術。一顆合成鑽石與天然鑽石在成分、結構、光學上幾乎無異，差別只在於它於數週內長成，而非在地底歷經數十億年。
當「稀有」可以被技術複製,它就不再是稀有。
這也是 五十年來堅持只選天然、未經優化處理(No Indications of Heating)的彩色寶石。
一顆緬甸無燒鴿血紅寶、一顆喀什米爾皇家藍，珍貴之處不在於「數量少」，而在於它無法被複製——地球在極其特定的地質條件下、耗時數百萬年才給出這麼一顆，而「 #無燒」二字，正是它從未被人為介入的證明。
真正的分野，從來不是「鑽石」與「彩色寶石」，而是——可以被製造的，與無法被複製的。

If " " can be reproduced, is it still rare?
Reuters reports that De Beers is entering the final stage of its sale, as its parent group responds to falling natural-diamond prices and the rise of lab-grown stones.
What is reshaping the diamond market, analysts note, is not scarcity of supply but the technology itself: a lab-grown diamond is chemically and optically near-identical to a mined one — grown in weeks, rather than formed over billions of years.
Once "rare" can be reproduced, it is no longer rare.
For fifty years, JUSTLEE has stayed the same: only natural, unheated colored gemstones.
A Burmese pigeon blood ruby, a Kashmir royal blue — their value lies not in being few, but in being impossible to replicate. The earth produced each under conditions it will not repeat, and " " is the proof that nothing was ever intervened.
The real distinction was never diamonds against colored gemstones. It is what can be manufactured, against what cannot be reproduced.
