[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair, often buyers of lab grown diamonds simply don't know better.  They don't know what   to look for or where to look.  I know savvy jewelry collectors who spend their time collecting antique and vintage pieces where both the quality and aesthetic design stand out. Lang Antiques (www.langantiques.com) is a good resource for this, many beautiful and unique pieces.

lol diamonds are the most common gemstone. “Antique” diamonds have no value. Look at the whole sales market price.

The only gemstones that can not be grown in commercial quantities are:

Tanzanite: Cannot be reliably grown at scale due to its complex structure.
Moonstone: Lab-grown versions haven't successfully replicated the natural adularescence (sheen).
Lapis Lazuli: A composite stone, making lab synthesis difficult.
Malachite: Difficult due to its banded structure.
Pearls: Can be cultured (implanted), but not grown from scratch in a lab like minerals.
Amber: Organic material, not a mineral, so not lab-grown.
Nephrite/Jade: Very difficult to replicate.
Zircon: Rarely seen in synthetic form.

Rubies, emeralds, diamonds of all colors are grown to order. China and India grown gemstones end up being sold as natural stones because there is so much money to be made. A $3,000 natural 1 carat diamond can be replaced with an $1,000 lab grown. There is no way to tell the difference.  All the paper can be faked for a price. They are growing a lot more jewelry size diamond each year vs what is actually in the lab grown supply chain. Where do you think all those stones go? [/quote]
