Same. Told fiancée after wedding. She’s now proud it’s conflict free. Win win.

What kind of weenie tells his fiancé ‘after the wedding’. You’re going to have a terrible marriage with your manipulative communication style.

+1. Good Lord. After the wedding? Buy a lab diamond if you want, but you pulled an end run on your fiancee, now wife. She'll look at that ring forever and know this. I'd be horrified.

Yea, that is a little back handed. I actually told my now DH that I was open to lab created, or moisanite, because the conflict free thing was a big deal for me. But I wouldn't have been cool with getting a big 3 carat rock and being led to believe it was the real deal. I'd expect him to give me the specs on it shortly after presenting it to me.

A lab grown diamond is a diamond. What is the issue?

Tell her to post it on Pricescope for all us other size queens to enjoy.

Assuming ANYTHING about a marriage from a detail about a ring is delusional.

You need to be honest to DW what kind of stone it is - from the start - is the problem.
Dishonesty is the problem - that’s no way to start a marriage.

Her mother will figure it out and she’ll kill you!

Or her daughter after they both die. Happened to my good friend and she thought a lot less of her dad after that.

How would you ever know? It’s still a diamond, not Cz or moissanite. It’s probably without occlusions like a mined diamond would have, but wouldn’t that just make the quality higher?

A jeweler knows as soon as he/she looks at it under a magnifier. People often get jewelry appraised to insure it through your homeowners policy. So you would KNOW what it is pretty early on.

Gross blood diamond that is gaudy. I wouldn't be seen wearing a rock like that. It's like wearing a price tag on your hand.

I would be embarrassed to wear a 4 ct diamond (and we make well over 7 figures so could afford it if we wanted one).

[Anonymous]

These are beautiful. I would absolutely wear them. Without a batted eyelash.

So they would know...that it’s a diamond?

You sound like a jeweler trying to pass off your lab created stuff for big bucks.

Lab grown diamonds should sold with certificates.
An expensive device developed by DeBeers for diamond dealers is an instrument which uses ultraviolet light to detect the difference between natural and lab-grown diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds will show a strong phosphorescent glow that is not common to natural diamonds.

Definitely not a jeweler, but if I’d known about lab created diamonds or moissanite back when I got engaged I’d have one of those instead. If the way to tell the difference between mined and lab diamonds is to buy an expensive device from DeBeers, then there’s no way I, the consumer wearing the ring, would know. So what’s the point? I don’t insist on harvested rubber, dyes, oil (for oil changes), or wear only 100% cotton, linen, silk or wool fabrics. I’m happy to embrace advances in consumer goods.

[Anonymous]

I'd be scared to wear it, for fear I'd lose it or get robbed. (or snag stuff on it all the time.) That's pretty ostentatious.

Do you go around inspecting everyone's rings with this device?
