Natural or lab grown diamond?!?  email this discussion to a friend?

Leanna86 (20)   ranked 21 out of 39 in jewelry 2 years ago

I have recently got engaged and my boyfriend got me a temporary ring because he thought it would be nice to choose my actual engagement ring together. I have been looking around and I am torn between buying a real diamond and a lab created diamond solitaire ring.

To me they are both real diamonds and it doesn't matter whether they were made by the earth or a in a lab. The same example is with babies whether they are born naturally or created by IVF treatment it is still a real baby....

Anyway you can buy a 1 carat natural diamond, with a basic cut for around £1500...but you can get a perfect cut 1 carat lab created diamond ring starting around £500!

What do you all think? would you be upset if your boyfriend presented you with a lab created diamond ring? do you believe it is fake even if a jeweler cannot identify its authenticity until the very last test?

After reviewing several documentaries on how diamonds have destroyed lives in several countries where they're being taken from, I've lost my urge to want diamonds. I think for something that couldn't really be useful, and many people have died for it, it's all not worth it. I mean, what are diamonds for except for fashion?

If to you those lab diamonds and the real one don't really differ much in 'look' or appearance, then who's to know you've got a lab created one? Of course you and your boyfriend will know, but what's important is that he wants to marry you and you want to marry him.

So, if my future partner is to present to me an engagement ring with a lab created diamond, I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't even mind if he cannot present me a ring at all. As long as he wants me in his life and I want him.

Practically speaking, if the price differs by £1000 then you could well use the extra for something in your wedding or perhaps your future lives.
