[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lab stones are so weird to me. I wouldn’t do it. They have no resale value - at least a real diamond has some and has actual market value. An engagement ring should be expensive. It means something. I want to be able to give my ring to my kids. I doubt they’d want some costume jewelry. It feels like buying a fake Chanel off canal street. Sure, they’re made in the same factory! They’re basically the same! But one is actually made by the earth naturally forever ago and one is made in a microwave. It seems so unromantic. [/quote]

Lab stones are real diamonds without the ethical issues. 
Mined diamonds have horrible resale.  [/quote]

The resale value of natural diamonds is not terrible. No worse than lots of other luxury items. Large market for vintage Tiffany pieces etc. large market for large stones. Old mine cuts.

The ethical piece is simply used as a tool by those who want a big rock and don’t want to pay. I don’t believe for a second that’s the motivator. If that’s true, they wouldn’t be supporting the market. And if that’s the case, don’t own a cell phone or other electronic clearly made by slave labor. Isn’t that just as terrible? Yes. Yes it is.
