[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, lab diamonds ARE the real thing. Chemically, the structure is identical. They are not fakes. I'm sure PP is that weirdo who keeps calling non-mined stones "fake".

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.  [/quote]

There’s a lot of wrong info here. Paste diamonds aren’t diamonds at all. They are leaded glass backed with foil. Lab diamonds are not paste, they are real diamonds made inexpensively in a lab. Natural diamonds are mined, but have the same composition as lab diamonds, and have been hoarded by DeBeers to raise their value since they’re not actually rare. If you’re looking to avoid the ethics issues and high costs of natural diamonds, lab diamonds are better. Paste jewelry is still admirable for artistic reasons, especially if it is handcrafted.
