To me: Natural diamonds occur everywhere in the universe; rarity: common. Diamonds artificially created by intelligent life on a planet; rarity: legendary.
@Jon VB tell that to w*men
I agree, man made should be valued much higher especially in this case of mimicking a natural process that takes eons. Wear this and you will have a story to tell
You made a good point
Man, this is actually one of the most intelligent and out of the box way to see lab-grown diamonds!
I like how the natural diamond industry tried so hard to convince people that natural is the only way to go only to realize that they have to jump into the lab game because people are not stupid. Even if the money is there to throw at a natural, I’d still only buy the lab grown.
I recently got engaged, I went with a natural diamond but stayed away form the big names, Still got the diamond GIA certified. Paid 28,800 for a 2.7 Carat round Diamond, which was appraised at 48k. If you can go to a private jeweler, stay away form the mark ups if you want to stay natural or go with lab. The big name places are not worth it!
- I'm not speaking to the original commenter, just anyone who is looking and reads this comment.
Lab grown are the same exact thing is not better. The truth is I can see diamond prices crashing in the near future. Diamond were sold as rare stones that there's a limited supply but now with lab diamonds being mass produced how could and diamond ever hold it's value. 😂😂😂😂 remember the slogan Diamonds are forever 😂😂😂😂😂😂
For my engagement I chose a lab grown diamond, both for an ethical reason (just check the scums that run diamond mines in Africa) and also because the money we saved were all funds that we invested in our new home for our family.
I understand tough that some people needs to be picky for whatever reason. Have fun.
What you mean is you bought a bigger lab diamond for the price of a smaller mine diamond…technically you can spend the same amount for both just vary in sizing
Lab grown diamonds are cheaper and more human!😃 Have you got your lab grown ring?
@@JavierJimenez-kn2ob There is some truth to that, but for me, getting it ethically outweighs more than the thought of enjoying a natural diamond that affects miners as well as the earth.
That’s great and all, unless your marriage fails and you have to resell. Your looking at Pennie’s on the dollar
You bought it because it’s cheaper. Stop virtue signaling.
Everyone get ready for De Beers diamond industry to dismantle. Lab grown diamonds are so much better.

De beers does not control the market anymore.That news is from last century, update your information.Besides De beers has enough money to start making lab grown diamonds which btw they already are…just look it up
@@devangselvadia8879 My purpose in bringing up De Beers is to say that De Beers was afraid of sales plummeting due to the rise of lab grown diamonds.At one point they had control of most of the natural diamonds industry but the irony behind it is they now offer Light Box which caters to those with interest to lab grown jewellry
Love the video, works perfectly with what I am trying to do. Will give you credit :)
Great content thanks for the information provided. 👍🏽
The uniqueness of the diamond, compared to any other precious stone, is its hardness so I can wear them everyday forever and they keep their sparkle. If lab-grown diamonds are equally hard and beautiful, then I'm a fan!
They are no worse, in some cases even better, than natural diamonds by physical characteristics.
They are just as hard
Yes, the lab grown diamonds are equally hard and brilliant! If you see and touch them, trust you will love them!😃The lab-grown diamonds are cheaper than the natural ones!

They are 100 percent thee same.a diamond tester can't even tell the difference... which is why I'm confused people think it would have no resale value considering it's the same thing - you literally can't tell the difference... and you'd prob get back your full investment if you traded it in.
@@PositiveVibesVids well there are machines that can tell the difference but yeah I would go lab grown every day.
This is a wonderful video & explanation thanks so much
Congratulations, a very clever clip!
Metals are more for investment and resale value, diamonds are nice and are to keep
...not red diamonds
thanks for your hard efforts
thank you, bro..its very important thank you nice video
Excellent comparison, based on this information I’m sure this will change the minds of many.

Wow I had no knowledge of it, it is honestly very interesting and valuable information
bwhahaha, this video is nothing but propaganda for a Frankenstein "Di-mon"
Dude, his maths are laughable. A 2K fake diamond is nothing less than a 2k worthless fake diamond. Millennials are so poor they keep investing in junk. LoL, so many things wrong in this video.

Great video
Wow super this method is really working I love it
great video
I was looking for watching
Who sells their diamonds? I’ve bought my wife a Diamond engament ring and you’d have to pry that ring from her cold dead hand! I’m sure in our marriage together I’m going to buy her more at it point what does it matter if it’s a lab grown diamond. Since I’m confident that we’re not selling them a lab grown is where I’m going to start! bigger is better ! TY for this awesome insight.
I really love the price comparison of the resale value. Diamonds are a huge money losing proposition if they ever need to be sold. I found it interesting that you can buy a top quality lab grown diamond, which is chemically identical to a natural diamond, lose ALL of your money if resale is $0.00, and still come out on ahead of reselling a natural diamond. This just proves the insane markup on natural diamonds. Debeers has done some fabulous marketing over the years to inflate the price of diamonds to where they are today. Reminds me a lot of Rolex...
True, however! moneywise if someone looks for a higher return on investment, a Rolex would be ideal. Lots of Rolex watches from the early 2000s almost doubled their prices in the second-hand market
@@LabDiamondsReview but that's still an exception to the rule. there is no point in buying luxury items to sell them later
It’s because real natural diamonds are unique. They are as rare as a fingerprint or snowflake and there’s only so much. It is a finite source which is why it will always be the best investment to purchase a genuine Diamond over lab grown.
Each grain of sand on the beach is unique and there is a "finite source". The exact same is true of natural diamonds. Diamonds might have less of a finite source BUT they are at best "semi-precious" and NOT rare at all. I am not "pussy whipped" or stupid so I do not buy diamonds. There are a lot of actually rare gems that make exquisite jewelry and talking points for my wife. For example Ammonite, black opal, Golden Sphalerite (dispersion more than three times that of a diamond),Tanzanite, Rhodochrosite, Diaspore, Kunzite. Her baroque (has both white and black) pearl necklaces always get comments when she wears them. Explaining her ammonite neckless ALWAYS gets more ohhs, and ahhhs than any type of diamond jewelry.
Ha! It's a win-win situation for me. We opted for a lab diamond because one, it's more ethical, and two, I saved my fiancé more money. We recently upgraded my e-ring at JA and my fiancé only paid half of the price 😉
What’s JA
@@Sameoldage James Allen 🙃
You can also gift this emoji 💍which is way too economical.
@@codelucky lol
It’s not more ethical, It’s actually much worse for the environment lab grown vs mined
I hope to be able to get a right-hand diamond ring one day. Lab grown only!
really useful video
Excellent
I love it ❤️
very well thought out video. I hadn't considered the poor resale of natural diamonds when we purchased an engagement ring. I'm glad we went with the lab grown.... We purchased a 1.77 carat and save around $15k!
Good job! Lab grown diamonds are also the real diamonds which means forever!😃Keep the romance and save money!👍 Do you need another lab grown diamond for your wedding?
You didn’t save anything. You just bought something else.
Wow this is amazing cip up bro
Good video
the upgrade terms/fees cover the actual wholesale cost of the diamond your upgrading too... jewelry markups are insane and the 'worthless' diamond you are trading in will be resold
The vedeo was so good
Go Lab Grown, in case your fiance/wife decides to leave you at least she'll get $0 for the damn ring you bought lmao
Wasn't there someone in the diamond industry who said "Anyone who thinks a diamond is a good investment has clearly never tried to sell one."
nice video
Amazing
So what your saying is that I can by a second hand lab grown diamond for a fraction of the price?
_leaves jewellery store_
depends on what kind of power play relationship i have. the more hierarchical. id go with natural diamonds. if im in a more egalitarian relationship. lab grown diamonds. that feeling of knowing natural diamonds found conflict is such m/s thing swexy lol
The difference is that usually people buy a ring within their budget. This means if your budget is 5.000$ you will buy a natural diamond or lab grown that is 5.000. It will just be bigger or with better specs if it is lab grown. At the end, if you want to resell it, you will have lost 2.000$ in the natural diamond scenario and 5.000$ in the lab grown, if it is true that it has no resale value.
That's wrong.. you need to compare specs to specs. That's how you compare... 5k diamond vs lab same specs probably 3k less. The loss is less for lab grown.
@@T-CainesZR1 no he has a good point. If you only have 2k to play with, your options are 1.) Buy a 2k natural diamond, or 2.) Buy a 2k lab grown diamond.
@@MrDb4894 Or you can buy the 2k natural diamond, or buy a $700 lab diamond with the exact same, if not better, specs. And you can put that $1300 towards the wedding or honeymoon.
Diamond resale is only good when you up grade and some places require you to up grade by 2 times the amount you paid. Buy what you can afford, lab or natural!
Other options go buy moissanite diamond or a cubic zirconia. But with cubic zirconia rings the Russia stones are the best quality in my opinion.
My jeweler now offers both and the lab grown diamonds he sells are just amazingly beautiful. As with all diamonds, cut is the most important. Look at clarity next. These factors are the same in both.
Yes! Both natural and lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. They are hard, beautiful and brilliant!😃
You are so professional for the diamonds! 👍Are you a Jewelry Appraiser?
@@newdiamondsky470 I love to design jewelry. I have designed 7 unique pieces and my last piece has a 12 k Tanzenite set in 18k two tone gold. I personally picked each stone for cut, clarity and color. This process took me 13 months! The Tanzanite is a cushion and is surrounded by four round and four pear diamonds. I would send you a picture, but I am not sure how to attach it here.
I don't know any store in my area that will pay anything for a "used" lab diamond and there are over 20 jewelry stores not including pawn shops in a 15 mile radios.... good luck!
As I've said in the video: even if you get $0 return, you still save more.
I dont know anyone whos buying a diamond with the intention of pawning it unless they planning on a divorce
@@brettharter143 exactly. If you are buying diamonds with the intention of pawning it, then you're just not that financially way off and shouldnt be buying natural diamonds in the 1st place.
True. Lab created diamonds are worthless
I was a fan of lab grown diamonds until I found out they have Zero value. My friend got his wife a lab diamond it was beautiful but I know she was greatly disappointed when she was told by a jeweler it had no resale value because it is not a real diamond. My friend paid thousands of dollars for a ring that’ is worthless he could have just got a CZ and saved thousands. The fact the price and value of Laboratory diamonds continue to drop makes me believe the price of all lab diamonds should be in the low hundreds. People should buy what makes them happy but please be informed that you are not getting a deal with a lab diamond.
Well said..!
Agreed
That's true. They should tell you but they don't and when you want to resell it you realize they won't pay what you paid for
What's a Lebron diamond?
Great
Perhaps the best deal is a "second hand" diamond from a pawn shop, plus you are repurposing the diamond.
Right and that old jewelry be real
Where can I buy some secondhand diamonds?
I have the new lab-grown diamonds which are not expensive. Are you interested in them also?😁
Where can I find used loose lab grown diamonds (3-4 carat) online? I'd like to find 2 and have a custom ring made. Any help is appreciated! Thank you much.
I have the new loose lab grown diamonds which is also not expensive! Such as a 1CT, E(color), VS1(clarity), 3EX(Cut), only costs $740! I also can provide you GIA or IGI certificate, which totally costs $850~980. And I have pink, blue, and yellow diamonds! Besides the round shape, I also have oval, pear, princess, marquise shapes.

Yo would be lucky to get 60% back when selling jewelry, in most cases, it’s 20% unless the piece and brand are exceptional.
How did you get 1.5 carat for 15k?
👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 Nice
Just make sure the woman you give the ring to will keep on it her finger into her grave and you’ll never have to worry about resale. Diamonds are forever
good trick.

This video is worth as a diamond.
When bro said you can save 21 racks I was sold lol
If the value of your lab created diamond is around $50 when you walk out the store, then I'd think twice.
What about dropping $1000s on an earth mined diamond then when you walk out the store realizing that you just threw away $1000s, would you think twice then?
Let’s run some numbers on value, 1 carat, E, VS2, no fluorescence, excellent cut clarity polish and 1.00 l/w ratio, GIA cert on James Allen cost $7,640. The same lab grown 1 carat, E, VS1, no fluorescence, excellent cut polish polish symmetry and 1.01 l/w ratio, IGI cert sells for $,1640. So I recently checked around to say what I could sell my wife’s diamond for (not selling just curious) highest was 40%. So using this to the comparable diamonds, the earth mined you will lose $4,584 if you get nothing back for lab created you are out $1,640. Let’s pretend that someone will give you 70% back for your earth mined even after they give you what they gave me when I inquired, we have carrying costs, would have to prep yours for sale, used diamonds have a much smaller market so harder to sell, etc. At 70% you are out $2,292 still more than the lab created, seems like lab created is still better financial decision
Your saying re-sell on a lab diamond you'll get nothing back, but a natural diamond you'll get about 60% back? so, lab has no value. sometimes people have unexpected issues come up in their lives and the diamond can be sold or pawned, pawn shops will give you nothing for the lab diamond except for the setting whereas the diamond will have a cash value.
I hope the savings is being passed on cause I bet the jewelers are lying n saying there natural and actually getting lab which is the same quality but cheaper cause it doesn’t have to be mined
Yes, the lab grown diamonds are the same quality but cheaper! And they are greener and more sustainable! Have you owned your lab grown diamonds?
Enough with the "laboratory made diamonds have no resale value" circus. Financial problems are one of the leading causes of divorce. Take the cost of a mined diamond, buy a nice laboratory made diamond similar in size and quality to a mined diamond for a fraction of the price, and invest the difference in a good mutual fund. You'll thank yourself 10 years later; and if your partner doesn't thank you, then be glad you didn't blow your wad on a mined diamond. If you have to buy a mined diamond in exchange for someone's love or forgiveness, then you don't need a jeweler; you need a therapist
Sometimes it’s the man that wants to give a woman something like that, all these comments are full of lab diamond owners trying to justify it over mined diamonds. If your diamond makes you happy whether it’s lab or mined then thats great.
@@JavierJimenez-kn2ob The other half are the 0.5ct mined diamond owners trying to talk down lab diamonds because you they can't see their own diamond unless they bring it within a foot of their face
“Diamonds are forever “
Why would you want to resell it?
I’ve had plenty mined diamonds in my lifetime. I’d love to collect some lab-grown!
Why? Spend your $ on single sourced gems. Tanzanite Mined on only one place on entire planet. 2 mines are closed. Theres maybe 30 yrs production left. Once its gone its gone. Like Russian Alexandrite prices will sky rocket every yr. Muzo emeralds. Benitoite, red emerald, Turkish diaspore( AKA Zultanite) Montana sapphire, lightning ridge black opal, Mogok Ruby, Etc.
You can buy a specialty cut colorless zircon( not cubic zirconia) its dbl refractive ( diamond is single rF) place that next to a diamond put a flashlight on them you'll see the dispersion diff.
Save your $ on lab mtrl. Buy genuine. Just me.
Hi! Do lab-grown diamonds lose its sparkle? Or do they depreciate? Thank you!
@@malibunights6187 no lab grown diamonds does not lose any sparkle.
@@malibunights6187 No , polish lab grown diamonds sparkle and forever same way natural diamonds.
I was thinking about a lab grown diamond my self
Regarding the lab grown diamond costing $2,030 , your assumption is that the natural diamond and lab grown diamond will be resold for the same price- your illustration of $4,746. The question is will jewelers actually bid the same price for a lab grown diamond and a natural diamond with the same specs? I honestly think they will bid lower for a lab grown diamond that natural diamond given the same characteristics. Comment on this please because correct me if I am wrong
Watch again, the assumption is that the $2030 lab grown diamond sells for zero, losing you $2030 but that's the maximum possible loss because that's all the stone cost to begin with. Loss from selling a natural diamond of same characteristics is more because it was so much more expensive to begin with.
It's different with natural diamonds. You see compare your own eyes. They do have yellow tin. Who will buy back lab create. It's continue create more and more. So it's no value in future
@@bambi3777 Natural diamonds come in all sorts of colors, that's why they are sold by the color grade among other properties. Synthetic diamonds can also be made in all sorts of colors as desired, including colorless D grade. It's not possible to tell a diamond is natural just by eye. And yes, there will only be more and more synthetic stones out there - that will also kill resale value of natural stones. When you buy a diamond, it's safe to assume it basically has no resale value years from now.
@@aleksandersuur9475 I watched again. You are right. It is based on the assumption that lab grown will be sold at zero.. Basically it's saying that the loss from buying and reselling a natural diamond is greater than the entire amount paid for the labgrown diamond. I wish he touched more on resale market for LG diamonds though. Another thought though..if natural diamonds are presumed to be sold at 40-50% only of price it was bought for, then it would be great to have an open platform for pre-owned diamonds! That way we can purchase directly from an owner. There could be a fair trade wherein buying and selling prices wouldn't be too far from each other and would minimize losses for resale
Lab created diamonds are not worthy. Paid 6000 USD then I had to resell it and just gave me 2000 USD.
There is no such thing as a used diamond, mined or lab grown. There is only the owner’s ability to sell the diamond and what they initially paid. If they are savvy, then they won’t get burned. It’s foolish to think the average jabronie can buy at retail and sell at far below wholesale and not loose money.
If a NATURAL DIAMOND and a LAB GROWN DIAMOND have EXACTLY the same properties why would anyone choose the much more expensive NATURAL DIAMOND?
I imagine the only contributing factor(s) would be the expertise in the CUT, everything else remaining the same.
Comes when you try to pass a fake off for an authentic.
For the fact its real. Lol that's it. Same reason some people authentic vs fake purses and shoes. Many times there the exact same thing. The problem is when people sell the fake as an authentic
@@alexanderperez2732 It's not fake, it IS a DIAMOND. Not a moissanite that someone tries to pass as a "diamond", nor a CZ, it IS a diamond. No more, no less
@@alexanderperez2732 exactly …. And if it’s that real why pawnshop don’t even value it right ? Plus even if u lose money from pawning earth mined diamond at least u still get money , but lab grown they don’t even accept it in the pawnshop ,,in my own opinion I want my diamond earth mined not blood diamond but there’s so many places where they sell diamond that it’s not connected to blood diamond
@@filipinaamericansrilankanc537 The only way pawnshop can tell natural from lab grown diamond is the certificate. If you got natural diamonds but no cert, they will treat it as lab grown because no one can tell the difference these days.
Wow
I think rather get the lab diamond instead the real diamond. Can't believe how much you can loose by sale the real diamond.
My shop I sell diamonds back I lost 10%. Trade 100%. Setting lost 50%. It's natural diamonds. No lab
i looking for diamond around 10$ XD
I have this feeling lab growns will become investments
Im thinking the same thing, i saw a store that changed from natural diamonds to only lab grown.
Have you made the investments? 😃
Lab grown diamond will be as moissanite price very soon !!!! Natural diamond d will always be valued
Lab-grown diamonds have no resale value, meaning no jeweler will buy it back. If you try to sell
lab-grown diamonds to a jewelry store, a pawn shop or on EBay, you’ll get pennies on the dollar for
it. Regardless, due to massive profit percentages and deceiving tactics of price comparisons to a real
diamond value, it becomes easier to convince some uninformed buyers shopping for engagement rings or jewelry pieces to lead them choose a lab grown over a natural diamond. Often many jewelers indirectly encourage their clients by comparing prices with “real natural diamonds” but not disclosing the real resale value and long term investment factor of this emotional purchase. Its a time bomb waiting to explode!
Lab created diamonds are worthless
Diamonds were and continue to be overpriced and the supply strictly controlled. Think about it. Its a piece of carbon that glitters because of tremendous pressure and heat being applied. That's the process in BOTH scenarios so what's the difference? Lack of control by DeBeers and others. That's it..
Shouldn't lab grown diamonds be a lot cheaper?
??? It is a lot cheaper and the video also indicates that...
@@wistle806 not cheap considering making in a lab.
I thought the price depends on the market and supply-demand relationship. How about you? 😁
No you are wrong the more lab grown diamond are worthless in resale 2015 a natural 2ct Gia with a g vs1 ideal cut only cost 23k now in 2021 that diamond is worth 30k? Due to right time to buy and how about the same for a man let’s see, I found a 12k Gia 2.5ct man made diamond with a f color IF resale for what 5k and no one wants it
I don't understand the logic of people buying diamonds as investment in the 1st place. That is a very bad idea. Go invest in something else instead.
Diamonds are for keepsake. A memory. A symbol of love. I'll keep my engagement ring forever, ty very much. Mine is 0.8ct lab grown, flawless clarity, excellent cut. And it's as sparkly as the natural diamond. It's still real diamond after all. I can never justify buying natural diamonds 3x the price for the same quality. I have better use for my money.
Good job! Spent less money, but got the same quality!👍 And yes, both natural and lab grown diamonds are the real diamonds.
Can someone please explain to me why a real lab grown diamond has no resale? Who cares that you were grown in a lab but on a scientific level they have all the same physical charistics of the mined one, at the end of the day they are idenditcal stones? What is the resale based on the mining that went into obtaining this? To me when I buy a diamond I am buying a piece of carbon that was cut so that it relfects the light brillantly, lab grown diamonds are exactly this?
LAB GROWN IS MAN MADE DIAMOND JUST GOT BY 6 DAYS .. REAL NAUTRAL DIAMOND WHICH IS NOT SO SHINING ALSO COME FROM EARTH AND WORTH TO BUY ..
Lol . Natural beauy vs synthetic beauty. There is a market for both.
The resale value for natural diamond is about 40%-50% of what you originally bought it for.. for lab grown its worse. Neither are good for an investment
@@warwarmaung4534 I would buy a lab grown in a second if the stone is beautiful, I could care less if it came out of ground or was made in the earth. I want a beautiful diamond with exceptional cut, clarity and color
@@musiclovermnla since you are bringing up value let’s run some numbers on value.

Let’s pretend that someone will give you 70% back for your earth mined even after they give you what they gave me when I inquired, we have carrying costs, would have to prep yours for sale, used diamonds have a much smaller market so harder to sell, etc. At 70% you are out $2,292 still more than the lab created, seems like lab created is still better financial decision
This is like comparing natural to cultured pearls 😂😂 honestly missing the point, obviously there’s still a market for it but it’s actually worthless, once something can be made over and over it has no value by itself, the value is then created by the seller and buyer!
"once something can be made over and over it has no value by itself," this is why stuff like fruits, and vegtables, and meat which just makes itself over and over are trillion dollar industry, why stuff you can pay someone in china $6 to make can be sold for $100... you are so dumb even if they could be "made over and over" the cost of hiring skilled people, equipment, and business operating costs. At this point it's clear you didn't do your research because a handful of companies are able to even make these and it takes month, lmao @ u so dum
Any trained gemologist will say you’re 💯 correct.
Lab grown all the way
Also a joke to judge elaborate when you could control everything and say oh it’s going to be this clarity of this color. Well, you could just make them all perfect and go from there, but the joke is they’re on a up-and-down scale as if it was naturally made and you have the ability to judge it because that’s the way it comes if you’re making it why are you making it with flaws I mean I don’t get it
Doesn't matter people looking for diamonds have money
Those who said lab diamond resale value is 0, Don't worry I guarantee to buy from you 1 dollars per Carat.
Lmao
😂😂😂😂😂
we are talking of you buy now and resale now, but what if you buy now then sell when it double the price???
let say.... when you buy now 1carat.
natural = 2000
lab grown = 400
resell now.
natural = 1200 loss = 800
lab rown = 0 loss = 400
you lost more in natural, but what if, you buy now 1 carat and resell it when it double the price.
natural = 2000 double is 4000
lab grown = 400 double = 0
resell when the value gain 100%
natural = 2400 loss = 1600
lab grown = 0 loss = 400
based on the new resale value
natural gain = 400
lab grown gain = 0
now which is practical???
For diamonds to increase in price, it means the value of the dollar is inflated. Diamonds are mined every year and it’s not deflationary, so as the value goes up in dollars, the value of the dollars decrease as a result. Your buying power is the same.
Lab created diamonds are worthless
Ggwp to all natural Diamond lovers.
My lady wants a lab grown, as she likes them big, it just seems so fake. Didn't take millions of years to occur. Not sure...
Diamonds are made of carbon, which the world has plenty of. Get gold if you want resell value, which actually goes up. The reason Diamond's value doesn't go up is because it was never rare to begin with. If you want something unique and special, spend money on a hand made ring or something that is one of a kind. Diamonds are dime a dozen.

Even if i was a millionaire I'd buy lab grown and spend the rest i saved on people in need
idk but if it were true, then buy used lab grown diamonds
Diamonds are almost as common as freaking sand. Lab diamonds just exacerbated that.
Lab diamonds are extraordinarily overpriced due to that stupid ass advertising campaign from the deBeers corporation long ago.
So, if the question is, do lab diamonds, hold their value … that would be no. I would further say, do natural diamonds, hold their value, and based on my experience, the answer is also…no.
Go take an engagement ring to a pawnshop or better yet a jeweler and see how much they offer you . Chances are they just want the melt value of the precious metal as they did me.
Correct!! Using lab grown , moisannite, etc.. save mother earth from mining natural diamond. And its better than using fake , glass,.. 🤣
Hindi please...
'A thing of beauty is a joy forever.' The sentimental value to the owner can be priceless. But that 'thing of beauty' could have no intrinsic monetary or practical value. Diamonds are like that.
First off, deBeers control the price of diamonds, keeping the price to the buyer as artificially high as possible. Those diamonds are usually mined and supplied at great cost to the long-term health of the miners, and sometimes those miners are killed in mining accidents long before they die from silicosis. Your life is priceless to you, even if you're a miner. You cannot really buy or replace your life with diamonds, or any other 'precious' object.
You cannot eat a diamond; it has no nutritional value. Nor can it be used for warmth, shelter or even for transport. Its two main uses are either as ornaments or as cutting tools. They're also used occasionally as thermal conductors and for a few niche technological applications. Ultimately, they're only Carbon crystals, and Carbon is one of the commonest elements in the universe. Every plant and animal that we know of contains the element, as a necessary building block of life.
So, would I buy a diamond, and if so, why would I buy one?
Answers: I have bought diamonds. Once. They are in an engagement ring which I bought for my wife. I bought them because she liked the ring, without her even knowing that the small stones are diamonds, at the time she chose it. She wears that ring every day, and has done for many years. Her pleasure in wearing that small token of love is worth way more to me than any amount of money. She chooses never to wear any sparkling jewellery, even if it is sourced ethically. But if she wanted to, then I would be pleased to buy her the items, as gifts.
Another key point: Neither of us are ever likely to try to sell that ring, so it was never bought as a financial investment.
So long as your reason for purchasing any item, whether is fashioned by a craftsperson or by nature, is not financial, it is a sound investment. The method of manufacture is usually irrelevant, so long as no human or animal suffering is involved, and so long as there is no deliberate pollution of our truly precious environment. That ring contains artificial diamonds, but that's irrelevant. Its true value value to our marriage is priceless.
so in conclusion, you get screwed either way.....
This argument is based purely on snobbery. If younwant to buy to profit later buy gold
Lab grown diamonds are overpriced, they should probably be much cheaper.
Sounds like you've got a great business idea.
Very easy, they basically give away the tools to make lab diamonds, so get your hands on one, and then start selling lab diamonds slightly cheaper.
When you're a billionaire, pls remember me
In the end natural diamond will never drop price because it’s rare , if man made diamond can produce in alb sure it will drop price when produce a lot like mossanite 20 years ago an today check the price lol.
Agreed. The prices of natural diamonds are already high and will go further high. At last the only people will lot of wealth will buy it.
I’d be more inclined to believe this information if you weren’t clearly biased towards lab stones. You obviously have a vested interest in lab diamonds
There's a lot of good reasons to be biased toward lab stones.
