[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet another DAR/Mayflower descendent here. I have plenty of inherited bling and a silver service for 40 (7pc place settings). I'm also the PP from an earlier thread who wears gold flower stud earrings from Costco most days.

There's no way I'd spend money on a mined diamond right now unless it was an artistically interesting vintage or antique piece. Lab diamonds are indistinguishable from real diamonds for all intents and purposes. No, it doesn't matter to me if [b]a jeweler can tell with specialized equipment.[/b]

It's crazy to me that people are still clinging to mined diamonds as a status symbol. Let it go![/quote]

[b]There is no equipment that can identify a lad diamond from a natural diamond.[/b] It is just marketing. They can make lab diamonds to match any nature stone. About 25-50% of “natural” diamonds are lab grown. There is a lot of money to be made switching out labs for naturals. The smaller the stone the higher the likelihood it is lab grown.

Also natural diamonds are extremely common. Natural diamonds values has crashed.[/quote]

There is. But few jewelers have it. Most lab diamonds are inscribed as such on the girdle as well. But no one is going to be checking melee. [/quote]
