Me and my boyfriend are a very young couple and have been discussing marriage. We both have a set career plan in place but we know we will be very poor at the start of college. He has brought up to me the topic of diamonds, lab grown vs natural. I know that lab grown is cheaper which is a huge thing. I love the idea of a natural diamond because of how it came to be but it's not a huge selling point. I'm not sure what the societal view is on either one but honestly I don't want to get a lab grown ring if it's taboo or something that gets a side eye. I want to have a ring that's beautiful, real looking, but also people ask about and don't look down on.. thoughts?? Edit: I am 17 years old and just started to utilize other social media platforms like discord and Reddit. Just because my account age is within this last week doesn't mean I'm a bot or a rage bait account. Everyone has to start somewhere. I'm not being judgmental towards either option and was not informed about the ethical issues with mined diamonds. I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to know the general consensus on either option. I just believe it to be very hypocritical to hate on a new account like you weren't all new at some point. The reason I asked reddit was to understand different opinions. Thanks. submitted by /u/TumbleweedNorth3111 to r/LabGrownDiamonds [link] [comments]

I’m getting ready to propose to my girlfriend sometime in the next few months. Well, still working out the exact moment, and now I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of engagement rings. At first I thought it would be simple: go to a jeweler, pick a nice ring, done. Turns out there are way more decisions involved than I expected. The big one I keep going back and forth on is lab-grown vs natural diamonds. For roughly the same budget, I could get a pretty impressive lab-grown diamond that’s larger and really eye-catching. But part of me wonders if a smaller natural diamonds might feel more traditional or meaningful for something like an engagement ring. My girlfriend isn’t super flashy, but she does appreciate nice things, and I want to pick something she’ll genuinely love wearing every day. I’ve also heard people say lab diamonds are basically indistinguishable now, while others still feel strongly about natural stones. For anyone who’s gone through this recently, what did you end up choosing and why? I’m probably overthinking it, but I’d rather get it right the first time. submitted by /u/supersayianmiku to r/EngagementRingDesigns [link] [comments]

If you have two people, one from France and one from the US, you can tell who’s French by their accent. Does that make them a “fake human”? Okay, seriously now: synthetic and natural diamonds are BOTH diamonds, one is not “fake”; however, because they grew in vastly different environments their growth features differ. Lab diamonds are chemically pure: naturals have hundreds of chemical impurities, spectroscopy can reveal this. Some naturals can be chemically pure, but that’s rare. Lab diamonds grow in an orderly fashion: using certain types of fluorescent microscopy it can be discerned if a diamond’s growth pattern is random (natural), icosahedral (HPHT grown) or layered (CVD grown). This is how growing methods are determined. Inclusions: Laboratory-grown diamonds exhibit growth remnants. These can be crucible flecks (HPHT), non-diamond carbon (CVD) or needles of metals (HPHT). These features help gemologists distinguish a natural from a lab grown. They are both diamonds with different stories—earth vs human. submitted by /u/Muted_Shape9303 to r/Gemstones [link] [comments]

I went ring shopping last weekend and thought it would be simple math. Budget, sparkle, done. But standing there comparing Lab Grown vs Natural Diamond made it feel like I was accidentally choosing a personality type or a moral stance. The lab one looked basically identical to me, but then my brain kept looping on stuff like resale, tradition, and whether it is weird to care about that. I seen the price difference and instantly felt relieved, then immediately felt guilty for feeling relieved. Now it is just living in my head more than it should. submitted by /u/Parent-Witty386 to r/WeddingRingAdvice [link] [comments]
