[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the topic here but it will be interesting to see what effect lab grown diamonds have on engagement ring preferences.  Lab grown stones are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural stones, but when the masses can now buy 2 - 3 ct diamonds for $1,200 - $2,000, it diminishes the prestige that many have historically associated with having a big rock.  I wonder if this will push the higher end of the market to seek out other, more rare gemstones.[/quote]

Yeah with lab grown being popular, diamond rings seem kind of silly (as a status symbol; they're still aesthetically beautiful whether lab or not). There's even lab grown "fancy color" diamonds... so I don't know what could seem more rare in this context. Maybe a vintage Tiffany or Cartier ring.

Zoe Kravitz had a cool [first] engagement ring. The diamonds were old rose cut, so not ultra expensive, but being antique made the ring seem more special/unique. She opted for something more blingy for her second e-ring...[/quote]
