[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very low resale value but if you don’t care about that buy them. Nobody will be able to tell visually. You need a tester to know the difference. If you want something investment worthy look for natural untreated colored stones with GIA or AGL certifications. [/quote]

I think people are confused about lab diamonds. A tester won’t detect any difference between lab or mined diamonds. Chemically, they are exactly the same. It’s not like lab diamonds are CZ, which a tester would obviously be able to detect. Are people being purposefully obtuse about this or do they really not understand? Or are they just mad that diamonds are no longer artificially inflated in price? [/quote]
You’re correct that lab and natural domains are the exact same chemically but so are lab grown sapphire/rubies/emeralds to their natural counterparts but one trades for a fraction of the other and resale on preowned stones like this is very poor. The sapphire glass used in drone cameras is the exact same chemically as a sapphire gem stone but obviously they are valued differently. When they test for lab diamond what they’re actually testing is if it is a type 2a diamond which is very rare in natural diamonds and means there are no nitrogen impurities. [/quote]
