46 year old here and I would definitely take my mother's diamonds if she were offering

Not that I'm young.

And your issue with that is ? What? Does it make you feel bad that you overpaid for your?

I actually like a PP’s theory that she’s classist and thinks SHE should have the biggest diamond but she herself can’t afford one that big so she comforts herself by saying “well at least mine is real!!!”

Not everyone feels they need to have the biggest diamond, most luxurious car, biggest newly built house, etc. to feel important and worthy.

lol no you just need to know a slave got your precious gem from out of the earth, which makes you feel good

"Yes, it's real," said PP as she showed her 1ct. solitaire to her sorority sisters after her engagement. "You get what you pay for, and in this case, I paid for a ring mined by a small child who watched his mother's violent rape and murder before he was given to child slave traders and forced to work in the mines at age eight. You just can't replicate this craftsmanship in a lab!"

"I don't eat GMOs and I definitely don't vaccinate my kids," she added, before heading out to her botox appointment.

Okay. No one said anything about GMOs or vaccinating kids, but if you need to convince yourself we're all antivax to make yourself feel good, fine. I don't really care what OP's intention is, I'm just saying that if you want a big sparkly ring, go ahead and get it through a lab tech, not a little boy who is enslaved.

I am pro lab diamond, but I agree with you!! All of my diamonds are mined because lab diamonds are within the last five years or so really taking off. If my mother had a diamond to give me, I would have taken it!

I totally got my grandmother’s jewelry. I would have used it in my engagement ring only she was still wearing it.

Oh lol my b, dog! I don't even think she is that concerned with it being "natural" I think she is just concerned with being better than everyone else. Someone out there may have a bigger ring than her so she needs to convince herself it is "fake" to feel better about that. Sad for her, really.

I've got like 6 of them from my mother but they're all smallish (about a carat) and I've never wanted a diamond engagement ring, so they sit in a drawer. I think part of why young people don't want them is they tend to be smaller and not reflective of where they are in life. Older generations got married younger and with more meager finances, starting out life together. I forget where I read this, but for the UMC class, people are getting married later and marriage is more of a "capstone" event then the begnning of an adulthood together. So if you're getting married at 35 and making good money, very few of those women want a .70 carat diamond given to their grandmother who married at 20. Obviously there are exceptions, but I think that plays a part. I fully support lab grown diamonds and would have gotten one if I were interested in diamonds.

It's answer no. Yeah nowadays people are choosing other gemstones over diamonds, but craze for diamond never gonna end. Rich people want to Expenditure their money. They will sped their money in luxuries items.

Diamonds are not rare
They are expensive because De Beers controls the diamond market. De Beers has enough diamonds to last the next century.
OP is correct, diamonds can be man made. There is no difference.

If you really like diamonds, read up more on the history of the industry
