[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. You absolutely can tell a lab diamond from a mined diamond. I understand why it should theoretically not be possible, but there's a subtle difference in depth. That said, I can only do so when they are right next to one another. I don't think I would be able to spot one on someone else if I ever cared to try.

That said, purchasing a lab diamond for ethical reasons makes sense to me, but this idea of purchasing one to save money doesn't. Why not just buy a smaller mined diamond if one feels foolish about spending so much money on a diamond engagement ring? Unless you have rather large hands, a slightly smaller diamond will look elegant too.[/quote]

Do you mean literal depth or some kind of perception thing? Because all kinds of diamonds are cut to all kinds of depths. Diamonds are often cut too deep to hit a certain carat weight (e.g. you could make an ideal cut 0.95 carat or a crappy, deep 1.00 carat diamond . . . most cutters will go for the 1.0 carat because of the price increase over one carat).

Check out Distinctive Gem and its owner Jonathan Weingarten's YouTube videos. Lots of great information about all kinds of sparkly gems![/quote]
