Do a lot of people prefer lab grown diamonds?

[Anonymous]

If so, why? I respect that, I just personally prefer naturally made diamonds. I read that Bindi got one with recycled gold and while it was beautiful, I didn’t get why anyone wouldn’t want a natural diamond.

Cody is one reason but the resale is zero

The big one seems to be environmental/green credentials

@jamesgoldman. The odd thing about diamonds is their value is ENTIRELY sentimental, with no intrinsic value.

I just know my diamond dealer has talked about selling the business because of lab stones, I guess until a reliable test can tell them apart like moissanite was a few years ago

I don't care either way, as long as there is slave labour involved.

*NO slave labour involved obviously

I prefer a lab grown diamond because of its price and the diamonds look equally beautiful.

eh, the child exploitation/human rights abuse probably turns off a lot of people...

The only reason to go with lab grown is cost. Lab grown diamonds are a fraction of the cost of high quality natural diamonds.

@Astarlessnightsky To us diamond means nothing
