Biggest issue is malls sell the created for the same price. We looked at both today and was only 10% difference in price. In 10 years time when created diamond are everywhere they will be worthless. Being rare gives them value. Nothing else.
@@3800TURBO It costs a lot of money to create a diamond, doesn't it, so there's a pretty high floor on the value, unlike lab created emeralds, rubies, and sapphires.
He prefers natural diamonds due to rarity factor??? They are the same physically and chemically. That's like saying natural ice from the artic is more real than the ice created in my fridge.
Yeah but if someone offered you a glass of ice cold water, would you take one with ice from the arctic or from a freezer? The coolness factor is definitely there for diamonds found naturally
@@edwardcolbert5636 yeah, and water is water but it also matters wether you get it from the rain or distilling the blood of poor innocent children, leaving them to die slowly & painfully.
They cost the jeweler more. Labs cost the jeweler roughly 40 percent less. Jewelers are hesitant to carry lab grown because of customer trust that they are getting the natural product.
@@jdm724 if you can recoup 50% of whatever you paid for the mined diamond, you'll be lucky. Diamonds aren't an investment, so people who talk about resell value are idiots.
Believe it or not diamonds should be as cheap as lab ones.. DeBeers and other company's who own most of the diamonds artificially inflate the price by with holding them.. By a lab stone..or second hand natural...
DeBeers make lab grown diamonds... selling them trough LightBox Jewelry. Theres no artificially inflated price in diamond industry. In the past they did, but now theres too much player in this game to do that.
@@igor-fk3vv there is a HUGE markup on diamond jewelry. About 1000% markup. That 10k 1ct ring is only maybe worth 2500. Which is what a 1ct lab grown one costs. Debeers purposely holds back diamonds to control how many are in the market to create the appearance of scarcity allowing them to drive up prices
@@princesskkay221 first of all 1000% mean x10, not x4 Then, DeBeers USED to inflated diamond be controlling the supply, that ends more than 20 years ago. Finally I can get you a one carat lab grown for less than one grand
Thank you for sharing this amazing video, I have recently purchased Lab Grown Diamond from Grown Diamond Corporation they have such beautiful diamonds which looks natural and comes at affordable price.
This whole video looks like the guy on the left gets upset when he says anything positive toward lab grown diamonds. Whilst the the guy on the right seems like he is clearly struggling with being honest and getting paid...
There are billions of natural diamonds already made. They use that rarity scenario to make a market for them. Diamonds are not rare as they make them out to be
Brah....lab grown diamonds are gonna totally shake up the industry. The sneer I got from a jewelry specialist when I told her I prefer lab grown gemstones said it all. And they always had a look of suprise once they realized how cheap they could get what I asked for. The only reason they haven't caught on is because they wanna sell the more expensive ones; better profit. A few seconds of online research saved me close to $800 dollars for literally, the same thing. Unless you're an idiot, buy lab grown
Moissanite is not as hard as a diamond but it's brighter and it has insane fire. Also moissanite is its own stone and it could be found from meteor in nature. It's not 'diamond simulant'.
Yes it is. Real gems are simulants too. Iolite is a Tanzanite simulant, Spinel is a good sapphire or ruby simulant, and topaz makes for a great aquamarine simulant. These are all their own gems, but are most known for giving the appearance of other gems, usually more expensive ones
So is there a grade on the lab grown diamonds because natural diamonds may have imperfections that result in degrading the value but if it's done in a lab, it can be perfected.
A Engagement ring is not an investment, it is a gift, she is not supposed to sell it anyways. It is actually good that those lab diamond have no value, people lose their jewelry every day, imagine your fiance/wife loosing a 10k ring ? Just go with the lab diamond.
I have heard that diamonds are not rare. They are lousy investments. My former fiancé paid $3000 for my engagement ring and when I went to trade it in all I could get in trade was a pair of diamond earrings that sold for $1000. They were not more than two third carat weight. I got ripped off. I’m happily married now to a different man, but if I had the choice back then to get a bigger diamond for the money I know I would have chosen lab grown.
Hm. I have heard (very scientific I know) there is no shortage of natural diamonds. Diamonds are plentiful. Suppliers control the supply and create artificial rarity. Can anyone please reply with what they know. I am open to be educated.
Brother , I am with you on that. She is not supposed to sell it anyways . So who cares if it is a lab diamond or not as long as it looks good. A engagement ring is not a investment it is a gift
GREAT video, thanking you, we are learning synthetic diamond manufacturing processes, so we thank you for this interview that shares with us. Lance & Patrick.
Natural diamonds are not rare (at least sizes between 0-2ct), in fact they are very common, the market is monopolized at the moment, that's why the price is still higher.
Diamonds were first discovered in a LARGE quantity. Which makes them worth almost nothing! So what did the do? They hid the amount of diamond quantities to make them more rare, so all diamonds are worthless, so buy what you can get at the lowest price. There is a really good RUclips about it on here, I will find it and link it here.
I asked a salesman at a jewelry store what the difference was between lab grown and natural. He said “nothing, they are both exactly the same except one comes from a lab and one comes from the earth” So I said “so are they both real diamonds” he hesitantly said “yes” so I said “then why should I pay 10k for this 1ct ring when I can buy the same think for 2500?” he looked at me and said “because the lab grown has no resale value” 🤣. I said to him “well given tour huge markup on this ring I would be loosing $ if I choose this one” I said thanks for your help and walked out. I will be buying lab grown.
So I buy a natural diamond. From what this guy mentioned due to its rarity it will increase in price over time. So where and how do I sell my 2nd hand diamond? How do I recoup on my "Investment"? Ok I'll cut to the chase, you can't.... You will not get an increased price, they are not a good investment.... Therefore Lab diamonds have a huge advantage, and the corrupt natural diamond business is worried, hence all of these types of videos..
very informative video. All this time I thought that when we say diamond it is automatic natural diamond or pure diamond now we know that there is lab diamond. thank you for sharing this video!
this is like automatic watch and quartz watch. actually it's simple, natural diamond is not pure, there is some dirt in it. mostly is not visible while grown diamond clean. so aesthetically grown diamond looks better, but if you want a natural diamond you go with want with little "stain" diamond used to be created from a boulder of diamond. only the parts with the best clarity make it into production. but now since there are grown diamond, make the dirty part of diamond boulder will make it into production. this is the best way to differentiate between grown and natural ones but, it won't look as beautiful as it used to. because grown diamond looks even better than natural diamond used to in the future there will not be much talk about natural or grown diamond. it will be just diamond. that's why debeers is fighting over patent for growing diamond, for monopoly like it has been doing. they mock grown diamond before the win the patent, the will fix this grown diamond after they win the patent
Almost all Lab grown diamonds I have seen have imperfections and flaws as well. Since they grow the same way they are prone to the same type of flaws that natural ones have. Yes it’s true you can get a better quality lab grown but they aren’t all flawless most all do still have flaws
They might cost the retailers HALF.... but they aint sold for HALF. We looked today and there was a 10% difference in price. Malls shops are terribly misleading.
A jeweller can’t tell a lab diamond by looking at it. They’ll have to send the diamond to a specialised lab to run tests before they can determine its origin. Also, like many natural diamonds, lab grown diamonds come certified. The GIA now issues certificates for lab grown just like they do with mined diamonds. The only way a jeweller would be able to tell by looking with a loupe at a diamond if it’s lab grown, is if the diamond itself is inscribed with the manufacturer’s name. A practice which is being adopted by some diamond manufacturers to make it easier to distinguish mined from lab grown diamonds without going through external lab tests.
The "value" comes from the monopoly that has been held on diamonds for decades. If the diamond industry was not worried about the "value and authenticity" of the product, why are they spending millions on the marketing of "Buy A Natural Diamond".
My wife is going to kill me when she finds out that nice 2 carat synthetic diamond ring I just bought for her for $6000, will be worth $200 in a few years. I am such a loser.
Diamond are NOT rare. Ever hear of a diamond shortage? No. I don't care for diamond, but I am purchasing a Man made diamond for my fiancee because they are MUCH Cheaper.
@@KaleHello not quite the same, however I see where you are going. you can't tell the different, because they are the same. Both are diamonds. There are 2 differences, one is mined and one is grown in a lab. 2nd difference is Lab grown has a serial # that tells you it's lab grown, without that serial # no one can tell.
@@DerrickDJ I work in a lab and another way we tests these diamonds is through spectroscopy, and it has to do with the cut as well. I see from both sides to the problem with lab grown diamonds--De Beers is threatened by this so in turn then still want to control the monopoly and dictate the diamond market. They even opened up Lightbox which essentially caters to millenials. I hate to admit this is great marketing as well for a line that is much more affordable. Thinking about this last night there is a chance De Beers may even try to regulate independent labs and buy them all out just so that natural diamonds can still have value.
Another thought is if I have time I will show a lab grown diamond next to an earth made diamond. You can see both have same specifications,1.2 carat, F color, excellent cut(symmetry and polish), true hearts,VSII clarity. In UV light it is obvious the man made diamond was created and perfected without flaws. The natural grown diamond is also perfect but you can tell there a few light leaks where the most optimal light performance is not there, and also see some small inclusions that is not viewable to human eye. The symmetry of the lab grown diamond is synthetic and can bother one if you pay close attention, but who in their mind would glue their eye at a woman's ring? This would be bery rude
if you want a lab created diamond for ethical reasons it's perfect just beware that most jewelry stores that sell you a lab created diamond will not accept it back as a return as a trading as an upgrade you are stuck with it even pawn shops will not accept a lab created diamond and yes there are ways to tell lab created diamond from natural diamonds.
It’s not the same the fake diamond looks like window glass and it can crack or fracture more easily in cold/hot weather due to the frailty occurring from not being sealed properly with a higher heat quality.
You’re completely wrong. Lab grown diamonds are in fact chemically identical to mined diamonds. This means they are as durable as each other and they are the same in every way except for where they come from.
I have a lot of diamonds.im going to start getting lab grown diamonds.they worth money for the dealer.no one can sell a diamond ring off the street and get the money back.my advise is get the lab diamond. No one cares.people are cheap like me but want big for cheap.resale on natural diamonds are garbage anyway.I would give to my kids before I sell
I hate those lab made diamonds.! I wish they were illegal to make. They are horrible.! They will depreciate the value of diamonds in the future. Ijs🤷🏼♀️ it always kills me when ppl call them simulated diamonds and get mad when u call them lab diamonds..🙄🙄🙄🙄 great video though
I believe it is the law in the U S that you have to identify lab grown diamonds as such. This video was made two years ago and although brick and mortar jewelry stores are coming to the lab grown sales arena slowly they are getting there. I know of at least one well respected jewelry store in my area whose management admits that while they used to only sell earth mined diamonds they now sell more lab grown diamonds than earth mined. They are still a beautifully furnished, very well respected jewelry store with awesome service but they had to change their business model to fit the reality that while there are still some who want only earth mined diamonds there are millions of others who want an equally beautiful genuine diamond at a far lower price than the earth mined diamond would cost.
Have u ever tried to pawn something? They would offer u 1/3 of the what they would sell it for. Buying a synthetic diamond would save you 20-40% of a real diamond. So youre already at a loss
Actually All yes it does have a difference it's rarity . Just that word alone should get people to understand. I'm not buying meth I'm buying weed get it?
Dimond is valuable by itself created over thousands of years but why De Beers should have monopoly for sth that nature has created not them. They should give back to society much more and treat workers sooo much better.There is a science behind the stones and many other molecules. Stones have a memory of what they have gone through. There is a study over water drops that have a memory of every place they have been . Search it on RUclips.
Lab grown diamonds are the BEST!!!! People saying that natural diamonds are better are just repeating brainwashing propaganda made by diamond companies so they can keep up their high prices. Think people!!
Diamonds aren't scarce unless it's extremely unique 🤷.If you are spending 2k buy a lab, or be smart and buy a rarer gem that will go up in value when people get sick of diamonds since it's becoming too trendy/normal and losing its rarity factor. Just look at rappers, they single handedly ruined how fake "rare" diamonds actually are since all of them have massive chains
diamonds are not rare . they are just not available to the public . 95% of diamonds on earth are in vaults . the same as gold . it is a manufactured market .
Everybody here talking CRAP. 1. SAYING DIAMONDS AINT RARE This might be true but must be put into context diamonds are not rare gold is much rarer BUT high quality Big Diamonds are VERY RARE. 2. LAB DIAMONDS HOLD LITTLE VALUE Just because it has similar properties as natural diamonds dont mean it will hold value as the natural diamonds. A Man lade diamond can be produced in weeks with very little human labor .. its price will represent the labor .. This is why Earth Grown diamonds will HOLD MUCH more value over time because 1 its rare and 2 it takes a lot of work. 3. THERE ARE WAYS TO TEST LAB GROWN "REAL DIAMONDS" This right here officially buried lab grown diamonds value. it means when u take it to the jeweler they can test and know its not NATURAL. These lab grown diamonds will soon go the way of CZ and become cheap and super abundant. 4. YOU CANNOT BEAT NATURE No matter what humans try anything made via nature will always hold more value than man made! Grass fed meat is more valuable than factory meat. Natural pearls are more valuable than man made pearls .. so on and so on!
Natural diamonds arent valuable. If you buy a diamond and try to sell it back you will see the diamond lost almost half of it's value. Diamonds are only valuable to regular people who look at them. A lab made diamond would look the same and still seem as valuable for a way cheaper price.
@@Brooklyn100NY You learned from HALF TRUTHS! Natural Diamonds are very valuable that is why the Queen of England keep billions worth that is why China is buying up all the high quality stones .. The reason you think natural diamonds are worthless is because the type popularly sold by jewelry shops are VERY SMALL & LOW QUALITY. Only big high quality Stones hold value especially solitaire! If you carry a half cart or UP! VS NATURAL Stone to a jewelry shop they will buy it from you. LAB DIAMONDS have lost half its value already... why? because its man made and can be easily produced also there are now Machines to prove what is man made diamonds to earth mind... most Pawn shops or jewelry shops DONT WANT MAN MADE DIAMONDS! your lucky to even get 1/4 of what it worth! You need some deeper research to understand!
@@IllPayne If you're buying specific diamonds for resale value that might be true, but most people buy diamonds for engagement rings. The queen of england isn't a regular person is she? These lab made diamonds are higher quality than diamonds sold at stores and cheaper. If I took that same money and bought a diamond from a jewler I would get a smaller and lower quality diamond and if I ever decided to sell it I wouldn't be able to dream of breaking even. So for what purpose would I buy a natural one?
@@Brooklyn100NY If you buy a high quality natural diamond it will repay you in the future if you buy a high quality lab diamond in the future you will be lucky to get 100$ for it. Natural diamonds can be a store of wealth Lab made diamonds ARE NOT AND WOULD NOT! .. if you just want the look and a cheap diamond tester to buzz off go right ahead for the lab made
@@Brooklyn100NY Only the buyer will know that it is natural made. Those who buy lab grown are just looking for an alternative to get to the level of those who can afford a natural grown. Look at it like this, chanel bags, those who cannot afford it will look at alternative such as another brand similar to get a bag similar but in no way does it compare to the branded item.
Lmaooo at his statement "diamonds will hold their value over time better" what a joke, no they do not hold their value they are very common rocks/gems, even lab grown diamonds are overprice, the only ones that will hold value are the gigantic ones that are very rare, but just the. 0001% of people can afford.
Natural diamonds are a shit investment now. Their value will always be compared and tied down to a lab grown diamond now. The cheaper lab grown diamonds get, the worse it’ll be for natural diamonds.
Diamonds are ridiculous - why should a man be expected to save up to buy a woman something completely useless?! You can’t live in, drive, eat a diamond, and the temporary “happiness” it brings you is outweighed by the misery of the lack of money. Told my husband to save his money, we skipped the huge overpriced party AKA wedding, and put all that money toward the house. 12 years and 2 kids later, we’re working part-time and spending our weekends swinging in the hammock in the backyard of our paid-in-full house. Live your life for you, not what society thinks is popular

Why they just dont say how you test the diffrence for the people who wants earth diamond
The "value" comes from the monopoly that has been held on diamonds for decades. If the diamond industry was not worried about the "value and authenticity" of the product, why are they spending millions on the marketing of "Buy A Natural Diamond".
Awesome video
Your mother-in-law would need a gem spectrometer to "find you out."
My prayers have been answered my wife is about to look like a rapper from the early 2000s now.
Wow, i cant believe this. Am i about to be iced tf out for the low?
lmfao
2950 for one carat man made? What's the big savings there?
1carat Natural diamond is 6-8k
Nice
Save the earth and go for Lab diamonds!
My wife is going to kill me when she finds out that nice 2 carat synthetic diamond ring I just bought for her for $6000, will be worth $200 in a few years. I am such a loser.
//nervous laughter bc I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic
we would like to invest a million or more in your companies and technologies..
thanks

I'm from Indonesia and I have natural diamonds, I want to sell them,thanks
Diamond are NOT rare. Ever hear of a diamond shortage? No. I don't care for diamond, but I am purchasing a Man made diamond for my fiancee because they are MUCH Cheaper.
Derrick Johnson yeah why waste the money on the same darn thing?! Good thinking
Essentially it is like buying a bag(Hermes) and buying a fake, your wife will know but with a ring it is hard to tell.
@@KaleHello not quite the same, however I see where you are going. you can't tell the different, because they are the same. Both are diamonds. There are 2 differences, one is mined and one is grown in a lab. 2nd difference is Lab grown has a serial # that tells you it's lab grown, without that serial # no one can tell.
@@DerrickDJ I work in a lab and another way we tests these diamonds is through spectroscopy, and it has to do with the cut as well. I see from both sides to the problem with lab grown diamonds--De Beers is threatened by this so in turn then still want to control the monopoly and dictate the diamond market. They even opened up Lightbox which essentially caters to millenials. I hate to admit this is great marketing as well for a line that is much more affordable. Thinking about this last night there is a chance De Beers may even try to regulate independent labs and buy them all out just so that natural diamonds can still have value.
Another thought is if I have time I will show a lab grown diamond next to an earth made diamond. You can see both have same specifications,1.2 carat, F color, excellent cut(symmetry and polish), true hearts,VSII clarity. In UV light it is obvious the man made diamond was created and perfected without flaws. The natural grown diamond is also perfect but you can tell there a few light leaks where the most optimal light performance is not there, and also see some small inclusions that is not viewable to human eye. The symmetry of the lab grown diamond is synthetic and can bother one if you pay close attention, but who in their mind would glue their eye at a woman's ring? This would be bery rude
To be honest I can't see how you prefer one thing when the other is just the same
is this david spade featuring diamonds? lol
Natural wins that’s what makes diamond special. If you can just make it then what’s the value of that….
if you want a lab created diamond for ethical reasons it's perfect just beware that most jewelry stores that sell you a lab created diamond will not accept it back as a return as a trading as an upgrade you are stuck with it even pawn shops will not accept a lab created diamond and yes there are ways to tell lab created diamond from natural diamonds.
I think I can live quiet easy knowing that as my 3 carat LG diamond ring was only $17.99 💍
They can't be told apart, it is impossible not even geologists can
It’s not the same the fake diamond looks like window glass and it can crack or fracture more easily in cold/hot weather due to the frailty occurring from not being sealed properly with a higher heat quality.
False.
You’re completely wrong. Lab grown diamonds are in fact chemically identical to mined diamonds. This means they are as durable as each other and they are the same in every way except for where they come from.
I have a lot of diamonds.im going to start getting lab grown diamonds.they worth money for the dealer.no one can sell a diamond ring off the street and get the money back.my advise is get the lab diamond. No one cares.people are cheap like me but want big for cheap.resale on natural diamonds are garbage anyway.I would give to my kids before I sell

I hate those lab made diamonds.! I wish they were illegal to make. They are horrible.! They will depreciate the value of diamonds in the future. Ijs🤷🏼♀️ it always kills me when ppl call them simulated diamonds and get mad when u call them lab diamonds..🙄🙄🙄🙄 great video though
I believe it is the law in the U S that you have to identify lab grown diamonds as such. This video was made two years ago and although brick and mortar jewelry stores are coming to the lab grown sales arena slowly they are getting there. I know of at least one well respected jewelry store in my area whose management admits that while they used to only sell earth mined diamonds they now sell more lab grown diamonds than earth mined. They are still a beautifully furnished, very well respected jewelry store with awesome service but they had to change their business model to fit the reality that while there are still some who want only earth mined diamonds there are millions of others who want an equally beautiful genuine diamond at a far lower price than the earth mined diamond would cost.
No more conflict diamonds...
so I can buy a lab-grown diamond and sell it a pawn shop for more
bro thats the thing im wondering about too lmao
they know because of the grading
Have u ever tried to pawn something? They would offer u 1/3 of the what they would sell it for. Buying a synthetic diamond would save you 20-40% of a real diamond. So youre already at a loss
My $4500 engagement ring...I was offered $200 for. Even if it was a man made diamond I would have lost money on it
Its all in your head. Why waste the money. Its just a look. Has no use.
From the earth not a lab?
The old guy sounds really shakey within his voice.
Diamond Part Starts @ 00:02:15 - Ends @ 00:06:08. I set it to start there. ruclips.net/video/o-TFz6teM3M/видео.html *****YOU'VE BEEN BRAINWASHED*****
Actually All yes it does have a difference it's rarity . Just that word alone should get people to understand. I'm not buying meth I'm buying weed get it?
I'm going to flip if he says CVD/HPHT one more time....
There was a diamond glut this year... buy lab diamonds.
Invest in gold. Gold is king.
TheBagBalm gold is money，everything else is credit
Dimond is valuable by itself created over thousands of years but why De Beers should have monopoly for sth that nature has created not them. They should give back to society much more and treat workers sooo much better.There is a science behind the stones and many other molecules. Stones have a memory of what they have gone through. There is a study over water drops that have a memory of every place they have been . Search it on RUclips.
I'm surprised that the sapphire and diamond ring Charles gave to Diana hasn't come in between William and Kate.
Why buy diamonds which have no real value. Buy gold or silver some thing that has value.
He looks like jackcepticeye
he prefers to see kids dying to make them more money . greed greed greed .
Lab grown diamonds are the BEST!!!! People saying that natural diamonds are better are just repeating brainwashing propaganda made by diamond companies so they can keep up their high prices. Think people!!
I completely agree.
Diamonds aren't scarce unless it's extremely unique 🤷.If you are spending 2k buy a lab, or be smart and buy a rarer gem that will go up in value when people get sick of diamonds since it's becoming too trendy/normal and losing its rarity factor.
Just look at rappers, they single handedly ruined how fake "rare" diamonds actually are since all of them have massive chains
Natural diamonds hold their value in time
the value of a natural diamond will always goes up
Try selling your diamonds. Let's see if the value appreciated
i prefer natural diamonds just of the thought of those little black africans spilled their blood all over them
Just buy gold. No making that in a lab.
damn straight! imagine the price of gold if man could grow it in a lab.
diamonds are not rare . they are just not available to the public . 95% of diamonds on earth are in vaults . the same as gold . it is a manufactured market .
Everybody here talking CRAP.
1. SAYING DIAMONDS AINT RARE
This might be true but must be put into context diamonds are not rare gold is much rarer BUT high quality Big Diamonds are VERY RARE.
2. LAB DIAMONDS HOLD LITTLE VALUE
Just because it has similar properties as natural diamonds dont mean it will hold value as the natural diamonds. A Man lade diamond can be produced in weeks with very little human labor .. its price will represent the labor .. This is why Earth Grown diamonds will HOLD MUCH more value over time because 1 its rare and 2 it takes a lot of work.
3. THERE ARE WAYS TO TEST LAB GROWN "REAL DIAMONDS"
This right here officially buried lab grown diamonds value. it means when u take it to the jeweler they can test and know its not NATURAL. These lab grown diamonds will soon go the way of CZ and become cheap and super abundant.
4. YOU CANNOT BEAT NATURE
No matter what humans try anything made via nature will always hold more value than man made! Grass fed meat is more valuable than factory meat. Natural pearls are more valuable than man made pearls .. so on and so on!
Natural diamonds arent valuable. If you buy a diamond and try to sell it back you will see the diamond lost almost half of it's value. Diamonds are only valuable to regular people who look at them. A lab made diamond would look the same and still seem as valuable for a way cheaper price.
@@Brooklyn100NY You learned from HALF TRUTHS! Natural Diamonds are very valuable that is why the Queen of England keep billions worth that is why China is buying up all the high quality stones .. The reason you think natural diamonds are worthless is because the type popularly sold by jewelry shops are VERY SMALL & LOW QUALITY. Only big high quality Stones hold value especially solitaire! If you carry a half cart or UP! VS NATURAL Stone to a jewelry shop they will buy it from you. LAB DIAMONDS have lost half its value already... why? because its man made and can be easily produced also there are now Machines to prove what is man made diamonds to earth mind... most Pawn shops or jewelry shops DONT WANT MAN MADE DIAMONDS! your lucky to even get 1/4 of what it worth! You need some deeper research to understand!
@@IllPayne If you're buying specific diamonds for resale value that might be true, but most people buy diamonds for engagement rings. The queen of england isn't a regular person is she? These lab made diamonds are higher quality than diamonds sold at stores and cheaper. If I took that same money and bought a diamond from a jewler I would get a smaller and lower quality diamond and if I ever decided to sell it I wouldn't be able to dream of breaking even. So for what purpose would I buy a natural one?
@@Brooklyn100NY If you buy a high quality natural diamond it will repay you in the future if you buy a high quality lab diamond in the future you will be lucky to get 100$ for it. Natural diamonds can be a store of wealth Lab made diamonds ARE NOT AND WOULD NOT! .. if you just want the look and a cheap diamond tester to buzz off go right ahead for the lab made
@@Brooklyn100NY Only the buyer will know that it is natural made. Those who buy lab grown are just looking for an alternative to get to the level of those who can afford a natural grown. Look at it like this, chanel bags, those who cannot afford it will look at alternative such as another brand similar to get a bag similar but in no way does it compare to the branded item.
Aberdeen
They’re all lab grown

Blood diamonds ♦️ lol
Lmaooo at his statement "diamonds will hold their value over time better" what a joke, no they do not hold their value they are very common rocks/gems, even lab grown diamonds are overprice, the only ones that will hold value are the gigantic ones that are very rare, but just the. 0001% of people can afford.
They make diamonds now. End of story. They are not “rare” any more
Natural diamonds are a shit investment now. Their value will always be compared and tied down to a lab grown diamond now. The cheaper lab grown diamonds get, the worse it’ll be for natural diamonds.
Diamonds are ridiculous - why should a man be expected to save up to buy a woman something completely useless?! You can’t live in, drive, eat a diamond, and the temporary “happiness” it brings you is outweighed by the misery of the lack of money. Told my husband to save his money, we skipped the huge overpriced party AKA wedding, and put all that money toward the house. 12 years and 2 kids later, we’re working part-time and spending our weekends swinging in the hammock in the backyard of our paid-in-full house. Live your life for you, not what society thinks is popular
