Large lab diamonds vs understated bands

[Anonymous]

This whole post just for OP to brag about how much money her husband makes, LOL!

The ridiculous thing here is the wannabe who thinks lab diamonds are fake and would rather waste her money on mined diamonds than lab ones.

Large diamonds are definitely not a flex anymore, given how inexpensively you can get a large lab. But that was the case even before lab diamonds became ubiquitous thanks to everyone wearing large moissanite engagement rings and passing them off as diamonds. Not sure I'd call large diamonds "out of style," but we are probably getting there.

I've been wearing my wedding ring (white gold with tiny bezel-set diamonds) without my engagement ring lately, because I like the simpler look. But insisting a lab grown diamond is "tacky" is ignorant classism, and, bottom line, stupid. So I'd stop rambling about that. And again -- just wear whatever you like.

LOL at you calling a $3000 ring "inexpensive". There's your flex, sweetie pie.

You would never be able to tell if someone has a real or lab diamonds. Plenty of wealthy men and women wear lab diamonds because they are smart about how they spend their money. We're smart investors and not grifters like you.

It's so easy to spot the ladies on here who grew up or married rich ("real diamonds are the best diamonds") vs. those of us who are just smart.

I am a Mayflower descendent. DAR. My ancestor signed the Declaration of Independence. We are a longterm wealthy family and have managed to maintain the wealth. Diamonds are handed down through generations. I assure you we wear them. I would never wear an emerald. Though there are some sapphires in the mix. That said, we aren't particularly showy. More pearls than diamonds. But for you to say in "circles of true wealth" makes me think you are those who came after us and were the climbers.

LOL, good one! Women trying to out-troll each other never gets old!

LOL! You have sad taste. I have rubies, sapphires, emeralds, tourmalines and practically every color of the rainbow in my jewelry box. Much of it handed down through my family from the times of the Mughal empire.

Oh dear, so many ladies here who have stolen gems from my ancestors!!! South Asian here, we wear them all, we wear them proudly. Your fake pedigree and thievery from the original owners of all of these gemstones is pathetic.

What are you talking about? No one knows or cares about your "ancestors"

Second, I prioritize functionality, which means I need to fit the ring under a glove - and I like my gloves pretty close to my skin. So small stone it is.

I'm the PP. If it's "made by man" it isn't the real thing. Just like a book "written" by AI isn't a real book. And I've never posted about this.

That said, I do have "fake" 4ct total weight diamond stud earrings that I wear every day, because DH gave me a real set after I lost one of my 3ct total weight studs. I only wear the real things for important functions. (In days gone by, they would have been called "paste" diamonds." People assume they are the real thing. Though that probably has to do with the reality that people know who I am when I am running around, not the appearance of the earrings.

Wait, I'm really confused by this. Why is it okay for your books to be written by a man (or woman), but not for your diamonds to be made by one? You're comparing apples to oranges here, but FWIW, I'd still buy diamonds made by AI if they were the same chemical composition as the ones made by men or mined by children, LOL!

You really don't know where all the British royal gems came from?

But anyway, I don't care where your ancestors came from either, Mayflower lady!!

Look, it's the "sweetie poster," again with her stupidity. That post doesn't say anything about $3,000. Stop making things up, lol.

I'm not the Mayflower lady, but in the US (where this board is based) the Mayflower lady commands a heck of a lot more respect than wherever you came from, tbh. Which is why she mentioned it.

And apparently that PP survived all of this "thievery" just fine, given that they are "proudly" wearing "them all."
