    We just had a ring designed for our 35th wedding anniversary. I absolutely love it! I did not see the point in spending $20,000 for a mined diamond. I did the math. I priced out a similarly rated mined diamond of the same size, cut and clarity. Even if there is no resale value (I'm never selling.), mined diamonds resell for about 60% of purchase price, if you are lucky. Figuring on 60% of the mined diamond's price, I would have to flush away $8,000 to have the pleasure of reselling ny diamond some day. It is a net loss no matter how you look at a mined diamond.
    My diamond is every bit a diamond as a mined diamond. I was able to get a D vvs2 cushion cut diamond in the size of ny choice. I will never sell it, and my husband has nothing to prove to me. Best of all, we could afford to buy the ring affordably, protect the Earth, and go on a nice vacation. Win! Win! Win!

      Yep, me too. Then celebrities like Princess Grace of Monaco and Liz Taylor, all the way up Victoria Beckham, Beyoncé, Paris Hilton and Mariah Carey, started popping up with these door knocker sized diamond rings and us “little people” wanted the look. My husband just “upgraded” me to a 4 carat loose lab emerald cut diamond that I had a jeweler make into a new ring for our 19 year anniversary. For me, going lab wasn’t just about cost (and we literally paid pennies on the dollar compared to a natural diamond) but also sustainability - the first diamond he gave me was a .53 carat natural diamond that belonged to his grandmother and then his mother for the same reason: Cost and sustainability. If I can save money AND be kinder to people and our planet, that’s what’s called a smart investment. #justsaynotoblooddiamonds

    My son bought an engagement ring from a very popular famous jeweler. He paid over 10k for the ring. It was a earth natural stone, most of the time, the stone looked very cloudy, and she had to clean it alot. Thats the
    big advantage of buying lab grown, the stone NEVER gets cloudy!

    I was always 100% mined/natural gal, until I was looking to get a "dupe" travel ring for my engagement ring... and found my perfect IGI Hearts & Arrows lab one , and I am truly blown away. LOVE it so much, and am totally open to both mined/natural and lab options from now on. THAT SAID, if money was no object .. honestly i would only stick to natural/mined, there's just something so intrinsically special about one that's billion of years old from deep down in the earth.

And my husband found a Certified Lab 1.5ct Cushion VS2 F Loose Diamond. It’s Stunning! Choose what is right for you. There is No.. right/wrong answer.

    If a person is prone to get robbed with a 5ct they’ll be prone to get rob with 5ct lab as well. The robber can’t tell the difference. Wouldn’t jewlery insurance cover for lost jewelry if losing the expensive ring was an issue due to the value vs the fact that they’ll attract robbers alone from carrying a large ring?

    Team lab all the way! Also, I’m loving that last set with the 2.8 band. I see so many women going for the ultra thin bands and I just don’t get it. They will bend, they will wear and they will eventually break. That happened with both of my grandmothers rings (mom’s mom and dad’s mom). And those large stones look so good with the bigger band. Love your work, Bonnie!

    I appreciate everyone’s decision to purchase lab grown. The stone’s presence in the market has definitely shaken the industry. That said, if one cannot or does not want to buy mined diamonds, it is better to buy an alternative precious jewel that one may not have otherwise considered such as morganite, perodite, citrine, tanzanite, or countless other beautiful gems that the earth has given us. Diamonds are great but they not floor and ceiling of constitutes an engagement ring.

If anyone hasn't seen what a real working diamond mine looks like and how it destroys the environment, please look at one. It convinced me to go lab grown. At the end of the day, a lab grown diamond IS a diamond and that's what matters most to me vs. destroying part of our fragile planet.

    Team both lab and natural. I have a natural diamond engagement ring . But want a 20 yr anniversary ring in Lab. I think smaller diamonds on a band are a perfect choice for Lab. If I were picking out an engagement ring today. I would consider Lab. If I wanted slightly bigger carats and had a budget. But no more than 2.5 carats in my opinion. Because larger than 2.5 would draw alot of attention and questions.

    I've always been a natural diamond girl! From the heirlooms my grandmother passed on to me, it has felt of sentimental significance. Also, the knowledge that this piece of rock has been around since before the dinosaurs and before humans feels very special; it's as if I'm carrying a little piece of this earth with me. I'd rather trade off a slightly smaller/colored diamond vs a lab grown one. I feel blessed my husband proposed with a natural 2 carat solitaire (and years on, I still spend my days staring at it and admiring it for its beauty). No right or wrong, i have many friends opting for lab nowadays, but in my community, we've been natural for generations!

He was going to gift me with a large 2.5-3ct stone (natural) after the wedding but I told him No because it costs 25,000+!!!

Husband and I looked at a 3 ct natural VS 2 and it was pretty but I balked at 100,000. I wanted something even larger as I have big hands. No way would I spend 100,000 on a stone at a brick and mortar store when I can get a VVS1 gh color and 3.5 to 4.5 ct for under 10 thousand for lab stone online.

      I do understand the aspect of getting a natural diamond. The Story of being 1000s of years under the earth is very tempting and make it appear more rare. But I just want a ring that lasts, same stone and better quality for less money. Also, in contrary to some who consider their diamonds as Investments, I don't Plan or need to resell.

    My favourite was the round brilliant with the 5ct eternity. I have a 1ct yellow gold round diamond. I don’t have long fingers but if I could I think I would up grade with lab grown diamonds (purely a budget thing). I would maybe get 2.5 or 3 ct at most. I think that that would be as big as I could go to suit my hand. They are all very beautiful rings and trying them all on must be lovely.

    The markup on Lab Grown Diamond is unimaginable. 400%- 500% - 600% and prices are still falling.
    Of course jewelers want to sell you a LGD. They're buying LGD for about $300/ct
    Now is the time to be a retail jeweler.
    In order to not scare away a Natural Diamond buyer, jewelers can only mark the ND up 30%.

    My only fear is as lab grown diamonds become more and more in demand, they will soon cost as much as earth mined diamonds.

    • @marbell7081
      @marbell7081 8 місяців тому +6

      Likely, the opposite will happen. Lab diamonds will only get cheaper and cheaper, likely will cost the same as imitation/ costume jewelry, while natural diamonds will only go higher in price. I researched this topic and read reviews of those in the know. Agree with this assessment.

    • @ByBonnieJewelry
      @ByBonnieJewelry  7 місяців тому +3

      No worries there, dear! Lab diamond pricing has not increased since its release due to supply. However, it has made our job more difficult to find a quality one out of the bunch. Curation is key to find the best stone ❤

    • @ByBonnieJewelry
      @ByBonnieJewelry  7 місяців тому +1

      Not at all! Everyone has their unique preferences when it comes to diamond color. Diamonds in the D to F range are indeed colorless and can appear quite bright, but it's perfectly valid to prefer warmer-toned diamonds that complement your skin tone. Your personal taste is what matters most when choosing a diamond. Ultimately, it's about finding the diamond that resonates with you and brings you joy. 💍💖 -Team By Bonnie

      Lab diamonds don’t have resell value. Natural diamonds resell at only 40-50% of what you paid for it. That’s why neither should be purchased as an investment. Just because you love the piece.

    I have to say my truth Bonnie. While you can do miracles and those sets are amazing, if I had the choice I would choose natural every time. I don’t know what it is but the sparkle and mystery of a real diamond just can’t be imitated. Eeep I’m sorry lol

    • @ByBonnieJewelry

    @marbell7081 8 місяців тому +3

    In my culture, we pass jewelry from generation to generation. I can't imagine gifting my daughter lab anything: diamonds, rubies, saphires, etc. What am gonna say? " Hey honey, it was in vogue when I was younger because these stones are only a fraction of the cost of natural gemstones. So now, this 4 carat ring is worth $50 bucks or so- here, keep it, give it to your daughter..." All this, when my grandmother gave me a few pieces of jewelry made out of genuine diamonds and rubies? No.

    • @ByBonnieJewelry
      @ByBonnieJewelry  7 місяців тому

      It's entirely understandable that you'd want to uphold these traditions. Your grandmother's gift holds not only material value but also a connection to your family's past, making it priceless in its own right. 💎
