[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anything, diamonds are less stigmatized now because people will assume that you are wearing a lab diamond, not a mined one, and that no child soldiers were killed during the mining of your bracelet.

(PP doesn’t know what “stigma” means. Didn’t we just have a thread on this exact topic? )

Here’s what WILL be stigmatized going forward- big ass emeralds. The Taliban is overseeing the reopening of gemstone and other mineral mines, and apparently some of the most exquisite emeralds on the planet are found underneath Afghanistan.

Pp you are referring to.  “Real” diamonds never had a stigma in my social circle and people I knew called lab diamonds “fake.”  I would venture to say diamond marketing is still pretty powerful.

And your post was unnecessarily rude.[/quote]
This. No one in my social circle assumes that your diamond is a lab. If that's what you want, fine, but I would not buy one. Natural diamonds are the status symbol now.[/quote]

This. Get a small one. The huge gaudy ones from china and India look like they are from Claire’s.
If you don’t care, don’t care. If you do, just get an antique. Mined diamonds that are already out there are more ethical than mining or the massive chemical output from these labs. Get an old one. Far more chic anyway.[/quote]

This is hilarious. There are no more diamonds in India,  the British empire looted them all. Most of the old cut ones are from India and they are exquisite. [/quote]

Dum Dum, the labs are being made in China and India. Keep up.[/quote]
