[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you live in the DC area, especially the DCUM demographic, real diamonds will never be worth it. Go to other parts of the country, including the UES of NYC, and you'll get very different answers.

It really depends on your social circles.[/quote]

[b]The little secret is there is no way to tell if a diamond is lab grown or natural.[/b] They say 50% of natural diamonds are actually labs. The certifications are faked.

New York is the heart of the diamond cartel in the US. Of course they will push natural diamonds. Though do you really think all those natural diamond is real? No way. [/quote]

The bolded is not true.[b] There is equipment now that can id lab diamonds. It has been around for a few years and is more common now[/b]. Lab diamonds did make their way to jewelers though. Most jewelers didnt have the equipment to test just a few years ago.

People will post and say lab diamonds are inscribed with codes to id them as labs. Nope. Not all of them.  Without a doubt, they found their way to jewelers.[/quote]

Can you share your sources for this? Would love to know more![/quote]

Wtf, learn to google. A million articles on this. [/quote]

Yes lol just try to screen to remove all the “do not work”, unbiased testing, blind testing, fraud, etc. [b]There is no way to tell the difference. [/b][/quote]

Not PP. But it is easy to tell the difference with the right equipment, which most certified appraisers have and all GIA labs have. This "do not work" stuff you are seeing on the web is probably cheap bs equipment from China marketed at women engaged to men who make 40k who just handed them a 3ct ring who want to test it themselves.

It sounds like you do not understand the chemistry of diamonds. A lab grown diamond can be made indistinguishable from a natural diamond. They just add trace elements/impurities to mimic the imperfections found in natural diamonds. There is no way to tell the difference.

GIA iD100 use spectroscopy to analyze the diamond's light absorption patterns and trace impurities. It gives you percentages of trace impurities. A lab grown and natural diamonds are the same. The diamond industry are lying when they say they can tell the difference because there is no difference. It is just marketing.

You can take a spectroscopy report, make a recipes based on it and produce diamonds. You can even add nitrogen bubbles and growth patterns. [/quote]

This is absolutely incorrect.  GIA will tell you without a doubt if it's lab vs natural for less than $100. I'm not sure why you're fighting it. Did you gift a lab one as earth mined and  now you're sweating? There's no cartel in NYC, the real cartel is at the excavation level.
I don't have a bone in the fight, I only wear original antique ones. [/quote]
