[quote=Anonymous]I always wanted a “real” diamond engagement ring but lab diamonds are really exploding in popularity right now and you can obviously get a much nicer quality diamond for less. I really can’t decide how I feel about it (I’m the woman - boyfriend just wants me to be happy and doesn’t care either way). I didn’t have lab diamonds on my radar when we started looking, but I’ve seen some incredible comparisons online of what you can get. Our budget is around $20k or so. I’d like around a 2 carat diamond and those are maybe 50-60% of the budget in a really nice quality lab stone. What I want in a mined diamond ring would be at least $20k for decent quality. For context, we already own a SFH and a condo between us, have good jobs, etc. so the money isn’t necessarily the concern but the practical side of me says why not spend less and still get what I want. Thoughts? [/quote]
