[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I little off subject, and older generation woman here with a rant: The most ethically-sourced diamond is the one your mother is trying to give you! I hear from many of my friends that daughters/sons don't want the diamonds we want to give them. Young people want new and won't even take something and repurpose it. [/quote]
I am pro lab diamond, but I agree with you!! All of my diamonds are mined because lab diamonds are within the last five years or so really taking off. If my mother had a diamond to give me, I would have taken it! [/quote]

I've got like 6 of them from my mother but they're all smallish (about a carat) and I've never wanted a diamond engagement ring, so they sit in a drawer. I think part of why young people don't want them is they tend to be smaller and not reflective of where they are in life. Older generations got married younger and with more meager finances, starting out life together. I forget where I read this, but for the UMC class, people are getting married later and marriage is more of a "capstone" event then the begnning of an adulthood together. So if you're getting married at 35 and making good money, very few of those women want a .70 carat diamond given to their grandmother who married at 20. Obviously there are exceptions, but I think that plays a part. I fully support lab grown diamonds and would have gotten one if I were interested in diamonds. [/quote]
