[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a big fan of lab diamonds, though I’m not sure I would want it for my wedding set. That’s such a sentimental piece of jewelry, it was important to me that we go with actual diamonds. I would consider it for other pieces like a solitaire pendant or earrings.

When I was getting engaged (back in 2016), moissanite was the primary lab created alternative and it was far more price competitive than what you’re citing. Said differently, I don’t know that I would spend $10k on a 2 carat equivalent lab diamond. With moissanite, that was much closer to $2-4k? I can’t remember.

If you have the $20k to spend, I would get a diamond and go through a vendor you trust. [/quote]

PP. I just went on Moissaniteco and a 2 carat equivalent round Forever One stone in a platinum is like $2k. So nope, I wouldn’t buy a lab diamond for $10k.

One other thing - in larger sizes, from what I remember, lab diamonds look more obviously like a diamond alternative. Not a huge deal, but know yourself and if this would embarrass you. Im all for passing off stones as mined diamonds, but if being “found out”’ would make you uncomfortable, it’s something to consider. [/quote]

Interesting. I haven’t heard that before and I’ve been doing a lot of research into lab diamonds. I’ll have to research that.

Lab diamonds aren’t that cheap in the super premium cut and quality I’d be seeking, I guess. I mean, you can definitely get an okay one for much cheaper. In either case, still a very substantial cost savings over mined. I’m sure other stones are lovely but I’d like the look and durability of a diamond. [/quote]
