Pandora Lab Diamonds are SEVERAL THOUSANDS lol. I think it's because, like Natural diamonds, theres Different quality Lab Diamonds. I don't believe that a Flawless, Colorless Lab diamond will NEVER cost less than a several thousand dollars 😅

Black opal is much better 😏

Things that become more common and affordable always go out of fashion. I started following your channel 2 years ago when I researched into engagement rings and ended up buying an unheated royal blue sapphire over either lab or natural diamonds.

Expecially...🙄

Depending on season, i can do cool Summer in Summer and cool or neutral Winter in Winter. Im naturally mousey brown hair, light grey eyes and fair cool skin with pink undertones in Winter. The pink goes more reddish in Summer. Im definitely prone to dying ny hair an ashy chestnut. Im a huge fan if black, turquoise, cream, burgandy, bronze, (cannot where true white or primary colours) . I love aquamarine stone, rhodolite garnet colour and stone, emerald, smoky quartz, tiger eye, amythest, white and blue topaz stone, strangely im starting to like pearls, especially pink. Starting to like rose gold, jade and titanium (black) metals. Turquoise stone of corse. Love tourmaline. My dream is tanzanite, that blue violet is my fave colour

I love all the stones in this family. Im definitely pro small,clear and deep green. Because they are more fragile ik more inclined to small oval and protecter stones like white sapphire ot lab grown diamond

Ive still never understand the hype around diamonds, i actually personally find white sapphire or topaz prettier. Im also growing to really like a good, deep, emerald emerald. Agree ive always liked light sapphire

That's why I stick with Australian opal, but I do love all opals

I love both! The more the better!💕

I have not been impressed by lab grown diamonds. I know they are just like the real thing but in my experiencing the companies that sell lab growndiamonds are not cut or set as well as natural diamonds. Just my experience

Ehhh…round stones will never be out. They are the most classic. Lab diamonds will also never be out because they are real diamonds. The market may fluctuate to address the mark up concern you shared, which is 100% valid! But I think they are here to stay. Trends come and go. Something’s are timeless. Solitaires with a plain band, 3 stone with plain band, round, emerald, and oval cuts. I would hate to get a bezel setting marquises and look back at it like a lot of people are looking at their -double halos and everything else paved engagement rings- now.

It’s funny that all you’re doing is advising people to be more aware of vendors and people just cant understand that

Great content! wish for more close up shots but very educational, thank you!

Those articles that are trying to say lab diamonds are worse than natural could be paid by Debeers and Co, how are loosing their money nowadays. So they will do anything to get their profits back and make people believe that natural mined diamonds are worth their price. 😂

It sounds to me your markups for lab diamonds are way higher than other jewelers and does not make any sense. I already have a natural one, however, I will be purchasing a lab diamond next year.

"In my opinion nicer than Amethyst"😅 awesome hot take, especially the way you stated by bringing your palm into the mouth. 😅😅 you are awesome.

lab diamonds are NOT out

I think that Lab Diamond engagement rings are not going anywhere in fact I think that they are going to eventually replace the demand for mined diamonds. These lab diamonds will not plunge to $150 a carat because there is a cost to growing and cutting that will not go below a certain range. Ethics aside, lab diamonds allow your average consumer to buy a 2 carat diamond that would otherwise be beyond their reach and more and more the younger generation is not interested in spending $20K+ when they get engaged. They want that money to go to a down payment on a house, or perhaps spend more on the wedding. Resale is not as much of an issue, especially when you consider how much a mined diamond loses it's value. Only the very rare and large diamonds can hold or appreciate in value. In the end, just like cultured pearls, lab diamonds are here to stay.

Lab diamonds have pushed the trend towards bigger diamonds so now everyone wants big natural diamonds. If smaller diamonds don’t come back in trend I don’t think labs will go out of style for engagement rings because who is gonna buy .5 carat diamond when they could get a 2 carat round for the same price? Wealthy people will always spend more no problem but that’s because they can get a natural stone that is big

Several times you referenced the "negatives" of lab grown diamonds but I didn't didn't hear you list any besides the possible decline of value. I personally don't know anyone who bought an engagement ring as a financial investment. I thought it was supposed to be about love? When we got engaged, I didn't want my husband to have to take out a loan to spend $8k on a ring with a big stone. I still wouldn't want him to spend that on a ring even though we have a lot more money now than we did 16 years ago, because I don't see the value in it. But if we decide to upgrade my ring to a 1.8 ct lab diamond and that stone would cost an average of $1,085 vs $10,200 for natural for the exact same specs. I went to a local jeweler's website diamond listings and searched with the exact same specs, only difference being lab or natural. Literally 1/10th the price. I checked several other sizes /specs and that seems to be the going rate. The spending of the money isn't the issue for us. We just spent more than thay natural diamond on a brand new snowmobile for me. If I am just looking for a sparkly and pretty bigger rock to put on my finger, do you think I really care about the possible reduction in resale value when the price I paid was 90% less?? Not a chance. It's not like I'm going to go around telling people what we paid for the stone either way because that would be wierd. Some people just want a bigger stone that looks the exact same for waaayyy less and won't value their relationship any less just because he didn't spend $6k on the ring. I am willing to bet I'm not alone in that thought process. For those reasons, I think lab grown diamonds have a very strong market future.

I'm happy to hear you think natural diamonds will be back. I'm a huge fan of natural stones. These young brides wearing 3+ carat lab diamonds look ridiculous and they come across as fake.

My only lab diamond is my oris aquis watch… I was mesmerised by it… and bought it… didn’t ask if diamonds are natural… when i saw the diamond certificate its lab… Well the watch is really pretty and sparkles like fire…

Lab diamonds is really a no no for me… It feels like wearing fake stones… Made by nature diamonds still the best for me…

Why there is a German subtitle if nobodys talking German or even giving a German subtitle???

You forgot about tanzanite?!

There is a great documentary by the name "NOTHING LAST FOREVER". One of the contributors speaks about lab grown diamonds and how they have been around for many years but kept quiet by De Beers. What makes anyone think lab grown diamonds were not passed off as "mined diamonds" long ago.

Good that someone understands the stone's "colour" changes in hue from the Southern and Northern Hemisohere.

has anyone ever try to resell their mined diamond after a divorce? you're lucky if you're offered 20% of what you paid for originally. Don't buy the BS on "good resale value". It's a lie. Do your bank account a favour and buy dividend paying stocks than paying U$4k per carat for a mined diamond. Go for lab diamonds. It's the same composite.

There’s nothing negative to say about lab diamonds. People prepared to pay significantly money for exactly the same thing made in the earth is just weird. If it’s a case of “I only want an expensive stone to prove you love me” is nuts ….

I've check out the Pandora lab diamond jewelry I think it's overpriced and the styles are definitely Pandora so everyone knows where you got it...nothing special . I do however like sepia color gemstones it has a nice old-fashioned classic style. Some brightly colored stones look cheap and fake (when they're not) like pink and yellow. Overall color perfection is green in my opinion.🍏

WHO CARES about mined diamond trade-in "value," when you can upgrade with a bigger lab and KEEP BOTH for less $? You could have a collection to pass on for generations.

Congo is not a dangerous country but is the system of west countries

So the only con of a lab diamond is that it isn’t exorbitantly priced? I don’t see that as a negative. If I could get a 1 carat diamond for $150 I think that would be awesome. I don’t see engagement ring shoppers preferring to spend $5000 for a natural diamond that is chemically and visually identical.

Lab diamonds will never be on the way out. They are 100% real diamonds- simply put they are Carbon Crystals. Just like mined diamonds- also carbon crystals. People looking for investments should be buying stocks and other commodities and things that can increase in value over time. Diamonds are Extremely Common. End of story

If you're referring to classic dressing, it's been around forever, hence why it's classic and it hasn't just shown up or arrived. It doesn't follow ' trends' , old money normally means a passed down jewelery or ring kept in the family as an heirloom, think Grandmas pearls or the inherited diamonds. Bezels as a setting are also not new, yes we have been seeing more of them, but they are the oldest setting for jewels. The trend has been switching from thin flimsy and pave bands or halos ( thank God as they are not meant for the daily wear and usually lose stones as well as are uncomfortable to wear). Yellow gold was big in the 80s, it's making a comeback huge, as well as the chunky thicker bands. Emerald and asscher cuts are classic,but also possibly due to fact that with lab diamond coming more into forefront and giving people choices ( due to lab vs natural) Given a step cut needs to be at least a vs1, and usually larger for you to truly appreciate the faceting because it is subtle and is not as in your face as a brilliant stone, same with Asschers, the stone is so deep and holds much of its weight underneath, this asscher and emerald cut have usually been only purchased and enjoyed in larger sizes for decades only by monied people who are able to afford the price tag that comes with higher quality stone. The introduction of lab diamond these last few years levels the purchase field for those who always dreamed of a step cut or even a larger stone without sacrificing size, color or clarity. I doubt labs are going out of style. If anything I sense that people will continue to enjoy and purchase them. Husband and I were looking at upgrading my ring for our tenth anniversary. A local jeweler had a 3 CT natural stone, emerald cut, had visible flaws vS2 , was G color, VG cut and symmetry and they wanted 100K. They were willing to sell it for 80k if we bought it right then. Another jeweler stated they sell so much more of lab diamond than natural. They also had some amazing colored stones. The jeweler was making a special ring for his anniversary for his wife as a surprise. The stone he picked was gorgeous and it was lab. I think labs open up choice for the consumer whereas decades before the options were limited more for financial reasons. There is a reason why Debeers decided to open up their lightbox line and offer different, larger sized stones as well as colored stones and different shapes, because they realized that even with their monopoly on natural stones, the consumer was driving the bus, and they were going to lose if they didn't get into lab stones as well.

Very good explanation, i hope people will really understand and appreciate what you are trying to explain

Are people buying lab diamonds for its resell value? Easier to lose "100% of a 2k" lab ring than loosing "50% of a 20k" real diamond ring. No?

Love a bezel set ring

Finally someone else had that same idea, the band seemed a bit too wide because of the diamonds but I think he chose it to possibly “show off”

Nice :D

Referencing the ascendence of authoritarian leadership as a fashion trend is extremely distasteful

$ 4800

I got a ring at a sliver and it said it was amethyst real gemstone but swore It was too light purple ish blue and then. I look at model number and then it said it was Tanzinte cluster ring. By the way it a stauer ring size 7 I got it for 35 dollars.

I love the simplicity of gold and love your channel! I thought chlorine, especially in combination with heat such as in a hot tub can do a number on gold and cause micro pitting that can be tough to repair.

That looks amazing. Very cool process.

A little while ago you posted a short of an artist interview? Do you have another channel where you're posting vids? I'm not seeing the full interview upload!

Thin bands are esthetic but not good for an engagement ring

Hi Fluxy hope your having a great day.

zircons are not naturally blue FYI

I’m interested in sapphires but I don’t have much knowledge about them so this video was extremely helpful. Will you consider doing a video explaining the price for lab grown gemstones?
