Finally made this much anticipated video for you all. I do not like telling people what to do or what to buy. All I can do is give you the facts and educate you on the subject at hand.
Lab grown for me. I buy my diamonds for their beauty and to keep them for the rest of my life. And if someone asks me if it's lab or natural, first of all, it is inappropriate to ask that question, same as asking for the price, but I will tell them that it is a real diamond and that it was given to me as a gift, therefore I don't know its source.
I’ve seen a lot of videos about lab grown diamonds. The way they are made, the differences etc. And I felt in love. I’m European girl living in China for last 12 years. I love jewelry since I was a baby. As a 3 years old girl I had a ring literally on each of my fingers. I always dreamed about the diamonds. I’ve got few natural ones but always something small (up to 0,45c). Since I educate myself about the lab grown diamonds I fulfilled my dreams about proper ring (1,5c-my fingers are really small so bigger feels not elegant)4,55c eternity band, 5 carats tennis bracelet, 1carat necklace, cross made with little diamonds and two extra eternity bands up to 2carats each. I made some natural pearl ring with lab grown diamonds on the sides and my collection is growing. I just love the sparkle! All the above in just 18 months. I’m lucky to living near the place where the diamonds are made. I found a great skilled jeweler and I’m buying it in a 1/5 of the price. You are so right telling that buying a jewelry is emotional. I totally agree with that. I’m setting everything in 18k white gold and seriously ppl are thinking I’m wearing a silver with cz. And I don’t care. I’m buying it for my personal joy and sparkle! Great and honest video!
Fellow jeweller here from Belfast, who deals in lab and natural diamonds, great video, you know as well as I in the last 2-3 years there has been a massive shift in attitude towards lab diamonds in the UK, 75% of my clients will go for them now and this is only increasing, the re-sell value argument doesn’t hold weight for me, if I stuck a 1.5ct natural and a 1.5ct lab in the window, I guarantee the lab diamond would sell much quicker than the natural, and this fact is only going to deepen.
You're so right I got that emotional feeling when I purchased myself a pair of lab grown earing studs because I was able to afford something special for myself on my birthday so I gifted myself and feel I made the right choice.Thank you for being honest and genuine you really are the best at not taking sides only encouraging one to make the best decisions in purchasing something special without the hassle of having to pay top dollar.
I just purchased my 1st lab grown 4.91 C / G Colour VS1 3EX just a week ago, comparing with a better clarity / D, surprisingly my heart went for the G one. I've already owned J radiant 3.01 C. natural and have spent more than 3 years finding the right one on round shape but couldn't afford on any of them. I didn't buy the idea of lab grown at first, but last week I gave myself a chance to visit a lab grown speacialist in Bangkok and tried him on my hand. Yes, you are right, my heart beating. Completed purchasing with the G and now the ring is on process. By the way, thanks for the advise on your IG, I've learned about heart beating from you , cheers :)
You should feel free to pick something thats not a diamond at all. Why not go for something with color? Sapphires have the durability and come in almost any color. Same for spinel. If you like white, moissannite arguably looks even better than diamond. Feel free to get a semiprecious stone! Do you like tourquoise, or a piece of rutilated quartz? Go for it! Do you like the look of un-cut stones? Do you like the less expensive crystal opal better than a black opal? Get that! There are crazy colored synthetic garnets used for lasers. They're still the perfect gem if they're perfect for you.
Are you kidding me? Do you actually think that a woman would squeal on herself , by telling someone that she’s wearing a LGD? Remember, she’s most likely to become disenchanted with her relationship/marriage and cheat, so why wouldn’t she just lie about her jewelry?
A lab grown diamond is like a fake Monet painting. Can be the same paint, same kind of canvas, same frame meterial...BUT it was created by someone who is not Monet. And that's all that I can say about that that..
An authentic Chanel bag is made from a genuine leather and very good replica can be made with the same materials and with the same quality of handcraft… they might be 100% the same… but they have not the same value… same goes for lab grown and natural… moissanite exist in nature but it is extremely rare that the moissanite that ks the market is synthetic and as lab grown diamonds, it has the same chemical composition as natural moissanite
@@wafaeelhaddad6455 CHANEL is a brand and it is trademarked. (PS, CHANEL should always be written in all caps.) A diamond is not a brand nor is it trademarked. A diamond is simply a mineral. A natural diamond is the exact same mineral as a man made diamond. They are apples to apples in comparison. 🍎 🍎 A lab diamond is physically, chemically, and optically the same as a natural diamond. Again, as I mentioned earlier, ice formed in a pond and ice formed in a freezer are both ice. They’re both identical. You don’t refer to ice from a freezer as replica ice or fake ice. 🙄🤦🏻♂️ Also, in America, the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) defines a lab grown diamond as a real diamond. Therefore, a lab grown diamond is legally a real diamond.
