Natural Diamonds don’t hold their value. They depreciate in value faster than cars.

Are you arguing that the molecular makeup isnt the exact same between them? They're the same molecules, arranged and bound the exact same way. They are literally identical.

since a lab diamond is the same as the natural formed a diamond when someone compliments you on your diamond ring you say … isn’t it a beautiful one.. this one came from the Xy diamond labs company .. they are the best at growing synthetic diamonds.

“Never understood why colored stones like emeralds and sapphires arent more popular”

They are attractive.. i like almost any mineral.. fossil or cool rock..I think prettier than diamonds also.. of course you can buy lab grown.. emeralds.. ruby.. sapphire… etc at a significantly lower price than naturally formed ones also. Heck you can by synthetic fossils also.. and yup they cost a lot less than naturally occurring one also..

And if someone compliments your "real" diamond, do you tell them it was pulled out of the ground by a child slave who is beaten daily?


Moral of the story is, don't tell your woman shite (or better yet make up a story) and invest the savings

If 3 kids and 2 adults didn't die to get me the diamonds then it isn't a real diamond, damn it!

Buy real, it’s so obvious and embarrassing when someone is flaunting a huge fake diamond ring

I wonder if the resale/holds value people realize a 1ct lab diamond will lose 600-700 in value on resale whereas a 1ct mined diamond will probably lose 4,000-5,000 on resale.

Fwiw you can buy a 1 ct diamond from 1800-3200 dollars on large wholesale websites.. depends on quality … you can also shop around at wholesale diamond jewelry shops ( Houston has a building full of them) and do significantly better than large chain retail… . in the past before internet shops and large wholesale diamond jewelry options for individuals there certainly was a heavy marketing and supply chain management conspiracy.

More embarrassing than being coerced by a organization that in order to profess your love you have to pay exorbitant prices for a clear rock that isn't rare at all?

Sort of agree. I don't think someone should buy a real diamond though. Just don't get some massive rock because it's cheaper. Get a reasonable sized lab-grown diamond and it won't look so cheesy.

I’ve read 10 pages of this thread and I’m flabbergasted.

It’s the same thing. Lab grown. From earth. Same thing.

If you prefer the ‘from earth’ variety you’re superficial. Full stop. End of story. Sorry not sorry.

If your woman is worried about this, she’s superficial.

It’s up to you to decide if you want that in a woman.

Your choice.

You’re dumb. If your woman is worried about this, she is right.
