[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. First it was moissanite, and now it's the lab diamonds. So the carat weight is much higher, but the prices are much, much lower.

We are seeing that diamonds and gemstones are disappearing as the marker of expensive jewelry due to the wide availability of affordable lab stones. What makes a piece of jewelry expensive will shift to craftsmanship and weight of precious metal. A big diamond ring will be cheap, a big thick gold one will not. A thick gold ring with elaborate milgrain? Expensive. [/quote]

NO Moissante and Lab are not even close to the same thing. No one was rushing out to buy moissanite for an engagement ring.

Lab = Natural diamond.

And Milgrain yuck... Not expensive means lower end jewelry. Ie can not afford the jewels.[/quote]
Dp, but moissanite is definitely popular! I think lab has taken over now, but basically 3-10 years ago moissanite was "the" fake engagement ring. Several bigger brand jewellery sellers picked it up, custom cut them, and still charged a premium, but much less than their diamonds.

I'm not a fan of milgrain but it does not mean lower end jewellery. It's a preference. But overall it doesn't sound like you are as knowledgeable as you think you are. It's also not nice to yuck someone elses yum. [/quote]
