I’m considering a lab diamond. Are there any negatives to them?[/quote]

They are constantly being improved upon. If you have looked at a lot of diamonds, you'll notice that they aren't generally the warm buttery off-white that a diamond naturally exposed to tiny amounts of nitrogen would be. Their hues are more grey and brown. Make sure you look at it from the side against a sheet of white paper.

Likewise, the inclusions have also been a giveaway in the past. They can look like little logs, or pieces of pencil lead, which is not how naturally formed inclusions look. But if you can't see them with the naked eye, who cares?

I used to buy J-K SI diamonds that were perfectly cut to maximize brilliance but keep the costs down. I now own a pair of perfectly cut moissanite studs. My next purchase will be a lab diamond. Like I said, the technology has improved vastly in the last few years.[/quote]
