there's literally zero reason to buy natural diamonds anymore as a consumer. No one is going to know unless you try and sell it, which most people don't.
You are right. I used to be a collector of natural diamonds, but the rise of lab-grown diamonds has impacted the value of my collection. So, I decided to liquidate it and venture into real estate. In January, I acquired homes in Malibu for $52 million, and the returns on investment far exceed what I earned as a collector.
How did you grow your portfolio to $52m, I'm impressed, I have a lump sum in the bank, the rates are not impressive so I'm moving it, what's your cash flow like?
I have a financial advisor (trader) she grows my liquid assets and I reinvest the weekly payouts back into real estate and long-term ETFs like VOO and SCHD. I have also started acquiring some tech ETFs, including IITU and IUCM.
Lab grown are real the difference is lab grown are extracted in a lab whereas natural diamonds were naturally formed by the earth. Lab grown are real don't let the name fool you.
@@Godawgsback2back You sound stupid...its like comparing a ice cube with water from a spring and water from your sink...they both look exactly the same and function the same in literally every possible way, so who in their right mind would give any shit.
Love Patrick a real prince. Love his diamonds even more and can see a lot of diamond stores being very queasy with their overly expensive diamonds whilst Patrick and Co at the Diamond Store makes big flashy diamonds for everyday wear, which I want. Brilliant video Michael and Adam.
I'd love to see Peter Marco's facial expression if Michael was to come into his store wearing Patrick's sunglasses 😂 Patrick looks like Rod Stewart and sounds like Barry Manilow!
Emeralds, emeralds,and more emeralds. Ya, I like emeralds. Another A-1 video from the A-1 Hollywood in-the-know duo. Great job. More mansions, more watches. 👑🎩🥇🕒🏡
It gets wild when you realize natural diamonds are a monopoly and their prices depend on the company’s excavating/supplying them (lab grown) PS: there’s planets that rain diamonds lol
Lab grown has been a talking point for quite a while. It’s a personal choice. We’d rather have one really special piece with organic diamonds than a bunch of lab grown.. but again everyone is free to choose whatever they like.
I like jewelers that are open to selling lab grown. It's the same thing. The Diamond district just doesn't want people to realize their false scarcity of natural diamonds to affect their profit.
This was a refreshing look at the lab grown diamonds. They definitely still cost a lot but it's still early days for the technology and I hope in the next 10-20 years they get cheaper and cheaper!
If you plan on keeping them forever, go Lab grown. If you even have the slightest possibility you’ll ever need to sell them in a pinch, forget it. They laugh you out of the store when you go to sell
Michael.. Adam made a joke about “ funeral “ at the beginning of this video and I’m still laughing… Guys you’re making me laugh all the time with your jokes 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅😅😅
I'd love to know more about lab grown stones. Surely if they're from the lab they should all be D IF ? Is there a process for growing inclusions? It's a lot of fun watching your channel! Mental money but fun to watch.
OMG 😱 Michael me and my great family are going crazy for your great videos and thank you for the information 👍 that you always have to offer for us.. verry cool stuff
Hello 👋 How are you earning such weekly? I was born a Christian, and sometimes I feel down on myself because of low finances, but I still believe in God.
It's great to see Elizabeth R. Nelsen getting recognized here. Starting with just $2000 and now being highly recommended due to the good returns is truly motivating!
I upgraded (or downgraded) my wifes natural to lab grown and she loves it. Also, it's GIA D VVS1 Excellent so not only is it bigger for less but the specs are notably better. For something to keep, lab grown all the way. For value retention I feel natural will be better because of the limted supply even if demand is impacted by the lab grown market. With lab grown having infinite supply and increasing demand the value will likely continue to fall, possibly to the point that natural becomes favored again for the connection to higher value.
The fact theyre exactly the same makes buying earth grown ones silly in this day in age. My wife gets way more compliments on here semi-precious stone rings from other ladies to top it off.
I would do lab grown with gold for everyday wear and when it comes to marriage or special gift I would do earth grown for value and passing down to family! 💯
High heeled trainers! hehehe Some of these guys are hilarious. If he wasn't rich and they were all cubics, everyone would be like, 'look at this idiot!' out loud instead of in their heads.
The so called “lab grown Hermes” bags are the ones made in China! Shenzhen. I know because I saw them there. There is a five story building that sells nothing but copy goods. It’s insane. Surreal.
Just a few words before they get started with comparisons. My wife and I recently shopped for jewelry, no where near six figures. Not even five figures. But! What we did learn is the diamond market is flooded with lab grown diamonds! Which means the price of lab grown diamonds is tanking daily. The lab grown diamonds are not going to hold their value....
Well you are not buying lab diamonds to sell them. You buy them because they are cheap and even if they lose full value the loss is likely less than the loss on a real diamond when it drops.
As much as I've personally always been against fake jewelry, I'm convinced to go for a Lab grown solitaire diamond for anything over 1ct. & wouldn't be ashamed, I'd tell people it's lab because they still do cost $$ and are valuable
If you appreciate gemstones for their monetary value and “status” only, I regret to inform you you are an extremely shallow and naive person and do not deserve to appreciate them at all.
I honestly want to see some more house tours and car reviews the watches and diamonds are ok. Just not as interesting as the other videos. And Michael and schmee would be a cool video about super cars. Adam make that video happen brother.

That is funny !
Lol...
Hahahaha
This guys a gem, I thought Michael was going to say he’s a diamond. 😂
At 0:24. Michael has finally met someone more flashy than himself.

Love you Michael.. Thank you 4 taking your time out for us with these videos ......keep up the good work.....X MAKES TUESDAYS FUN
70 years old men love to wear sunglasses inside.
Just like joe biden

@@TEE1998 It's still lame no matter the bread.
To be fair my dad sometimes forget his prescription glasses at home so some folks have to wear the shades indoor
And? Lmao it's because they literally do not care what anyone else may think. Also these guys are decamillionaires.
If you bring Jacob together with Patrick, you'll have a big argument...I'll go for the lab-grown!
true !!!!
And bring Peter Marco as a mediator
Hopefully Patrick doesnt like raping women like Jacob does ("allegedly")
@@pedroprieto6885 that would be the video of the year!
Great video! Patrick is always great! What a character! Always in an upbeat mood. His store looks nice. Lots of space. 👍👍👍
Great info, on Diamonds , thank you, guys!

Love this guy! I have no doubt that if I go into his store, I am gonna end up buying something.
I want that jacket ❤😂
u think u do, but u dont. Imagine cleaning it. Also your belly is too big for it, be honest!

Michael, I loved you in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, what a great cameo.
What ? Where ?
Exactly what part ?
i can’t believe it 😂
Exactly what i thought lol
Same thing I just posted!!
The lab diamond videos are 🔥🔥
Patrik is a diamond himself
always smiling when i see thim
we need more people like him

Exactly, there is no shortage, it’s artificial

this would be great sunday church outfit
Maybe I should go to ur church

Lab grown is basically like IVF for diamonds 🤷🏻♀️ I don’t see the problem with buying them
Then you don’t know enough about them, waste of money
@@Ryan.Kooper elaborate
@@Ryan.Kooper well if that’s the case then enlighten me
@@jaydeliciosoit's basically worthless after you buy it. The depreciation for it is crazy.
@@Rocky_4477 Because a bunch of old stuck in their way dummies think it's somehow not a real diamond.
Lab grown have no blood on them…. GO labgrown💪🏻👌👌
Neither does natural grown these days. What ever makes you feel better about your purchase. 💪🏽👌🏽👌🏽
@@Justsome_Randomdude u also believe in the tooth faerie?
@@Justsome_Randomdude You might want to do some research on Sudan/Sudan war
I’ve done research. You should too. Not all natural diamonds are blood diamonds. Like I said, what ever makes you feel better about your purchase.
there's no blood on the diamonds coming from canada you muppet
This was a refreshing look at the lab grown diamonds. They definitely still cost a lot but it's still early days for the technology and I hope in the next 10-20 years they get cheaper and cheaper!
Adam was like, "What do I know, I'm just a camera guy!" 😂😂😂
Lab grown any day ❤
Adams suttle "FU" to Michael, with the camera guy line...classic
He looks what i imagine Michael’s dad looks like.
The website is down.
Wow, Michael with the diamond knowledge 🤔🤔 😎😎. Love the energy in this video 💯
Is the guy showing the diamonds wearing a Breitling? Solid watch!
Love all your content Michael your a real genuine guy thats has everyone’s best interests at heart.
Keep it coming 🤩 👑
If you plan on keeping them forever, go Lab grown. If you even have the slightest possibility you’ll ever need to sell them in a pinch, forget it. They laugh you out of the store when you go to sell
why not buy a "used" lab grown diamond the ? for free haha
well you will lose your shirt and pants on resell of the earthgrown also :)
@@Spazik86 true, but not nearly as bad though. Lab grown is legitimately 1% -2% what you paid.
@@PantonePapi So what you're saying is - buy pre-owned lab diamonds and pay nothing for it, with no risk of depreciation?
@@CrummyFSY basically

Hello 👋 How are you earning such weekly? I was born a Christian, and sometimes I feel down on myself because of low finances, but I still believe in God.
It's Elizabeth Regina Nelsen doing she's changed my life. A BROKER- like her is what you need.
Wow! I'm kind of in shock that you mentioned expert Elizabeth Regina Nelsen. What a coincidence!
It's great to see Elizabeth R. Nelsen getting recognized here. Starting with just $2000 and now being highly recommended due to the good returns is truly motivating!
I'm really interested, does she work with clients outside the USA, I'm from France?
I upgraded (or downgraded) my wifes natural to lab grown and she loves it. Also, it's GIA D VVS1 Excellent so not only is it bigger for less but the specs are notably better.
For something to keep, lab grown all the way. For value retention I feel natural will be better because of the limted supply even if demand is impacted by the lab grown market. With lab grown having infinite supply and increasing demand the value will likely continue to fall, possibly to the point that natural becomes favored again for the connection to higher value.
Question Michael do lab diamonds and earth diamonds test the same on the diamond tester? Does the tester light up like testing a real Earth diamond?
Yes
Michael, now you have to worry about looking so similar to Donald.
The fact theyre exactly the same makes buying earth grown ones silly in this day in age. My wife gets way more compliments on here semi-precious stone rings from other ladies to top it off.
Michael 2024, "let's make fashion great again" lol
This thumbnail 😂😂😂😂😂
mr beast style 😂
Yeah, whoever applied the teeth whitening on his photo applied it to his gums too. Grey gums lol
British Donald Trump and American Rod Stewart. The collab I didn't know I needed but I love it.
Hey hey, Nice to see Producer Michael's dad in the show again!
😜🤟🇬🇧
Hey guys loving the channel!
You are both so great - think Adam should get more screen time though. You two are hilarious together :)
Michael and Patrick definitely first met in a clothes store.
Educational
Diamond geezer 😎👍🇬🇧
@ProducerMichael.0 👍🇬🇧
michael is thinking,i should sell all my diamonds
"boyfriend and girlfriend or whatever nowadays..." :)
I would do lab grown with gold for everyday wear and when it comes to marriage or special gift I would do earth grown for value and passing down to family! 💯
Guys, thank you for the new video❤ everytime watch with joy
I think they keep lab grown market to have a high value since I'm pretty sure they can make technology to make a diamond for 1$ :)))
So if they're identical, how does that machine distinguish between the two? What is it looking for or testing?
safe ears. dont pier ears. sane safe things. hyper straight love as well peace. Hare Krishna Swaminarayan

Wow I just whatsapped him that I loved him. He replied instantly. He is a unique smart inteligent guy. Not easily influenced by fear of masses.
Clearly you two have not seen the new Axel Foley (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley), just saying "Serge" has studied Michael.
This guy deserves to be an NPC in GTA 6 😳
When talking with Jacob, no matter how much Michael say, diamond price is slightly higher. With this guy, it's always slightly lower.
I know where I'm getting my next diamond jewelry from❤❤
Best thumbnail ever. I wish I can deliver thousands like 👍🏻
Are there companies with better quality and better pricing that I should consider when buying lab grown diamonds?
So what's the market for the earth grown diamond?
i am not an american, i dont feel safe with "usa". Patrick seems okay. i am hyper straight. Las Vegas am fun.
I've never seen Michael over-matched!
safe hands
Where's Diesel dog 🐶
Do NOT get Patrick and Jacob in the same room; LMAO.
PM thank you for being a geek and knowledgeable person, may I assume it could be one reason for your wealth accumulation today..I admire you, Mike
Watch blood diamond movie and then you'll definitely get lab grown
Patrick’s great. What a nice fella.
Patrick is such a coooooool dude..definitely a rock starr godbless
Michael’s been Mr Beastified in the thumbnail 😂
What a genius episode 😂
Opals, Emeralds and Rubies are semi precious? They are more expensive than diamonds.

Good!
Well you are not buying lab diamonds to sell them. You buy them because they are cheap and even if they lose full value the loss is likely less than the loss on a real diamond when it drops.
$5000 lab grown ring resell value for scrap gold price. $10000 earth mine resell value $5000. You lose 5000 either way
what makes natrual expensive they HOARD all the stones
As much as I've personally always been against fake jewelry, I'm convinced to go for a Lab grown solitaire diamond for anything over 1ct. & wouldn't be ashamed, I'd tell people it's lab because they still do cost $$ and are valuable
Bingo. It’s a diamond. There is no debate. It’s not synthetic, it’s not glass. It’s a 100% real diamond.
If you value stones just for their monetary value you are an extremely shallow person and do NOT deserve to value them in the first place.
