[quote=Anonymous]It will be interested to see what happens re trends and status symbols now that lab diamonds are so cheap.

Here's a couple predictions:

1) the price of gold is still $$$. I predict chunkier gold will become a flex/preference 
2) people will place a higher value on the designs and metal work of the jewelry. For years 'dainty' settings dominated the market, but i think there will be a shift away to show that you have the $$ and taste to create something interesting 
3) as far as the stones go, I think we will see gravitation towards other gemstones, like rubies and emeralds 
4) on the diamond note, I wonder if diamonds will go the way of emeralds and people will start to prefer inclusions and slight imperfections as signs that the diamond is "natural". When lab grown emeralds became widely available in the 20th century, natural emeralds with visible inclusions became the preferred emeralds because all of the lab grown stones were flawless and almost all natural emeralds are not.
