[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think in the new era of large lab grown diamonds that simple bands are more classy?

I find the large lab grown diamonds are tacky.

I still have my original engagement ring but tend to just wear two eternity diamond bands. I feel like most women in my circle don’t wear huge 3+ carat rings. FWIW our HHI is $800k so it’s not a wealth thing. [/quote]

I think women with smaller natural diamonds don't like that lab diamonds are chemically the same thing as their diamonds but cheaper and therefore available to the masses. A 3 carat stone isn't unusual to see anymore. [/quote]

Rough take on women. I have a natural 1.25 carat from the 90s and I’m in the wedding industry so I see 2-3 carats all the time now. It’s the new 1.0 carat of prior generations. My natural stone cost the same as a 3 carat lab grown, but I like the look of the larger stone and much prefer the ethics of lab grown. I wouldn’t be sad at all if my center stone fell out and I had to replace it now.  But, I’m also older and my rings just don’t mean that much to me anymore. I almost never wear them and when I do wear a ring, it’s a usually cheap band from Nordstrom instead.  [/quote]
