Mined is still superior to a lab diamond any day.
Why?

I guess you need something to feel better about vastly overpaying. 🤣

There is no way to tell a lab grown vs mined diamond if there is no marker mark.

You never had to worry about that. There was never any money in second hand diamonds.

Seriously? I wear 5 carats - all natural and it's what my 2nd husband chose to give me.

I have 2.33 carat center stone, but my finger is a size 7.25. Smaller stones made my finger look fat. I wish we’d been able to save money by getting a lab diamond, but I’m so happy with DH that it’s water under the bridge at this point.

I don’t think engagement rings are seen as wealth indicators anymore and the appeal is no longer in that they are a representation of a lot of money being spent
Do you really consider 2 ct comfortable for daily wear? I don’t.
I wear a 2ct cushion on a 4.25 size finger, lower setting daily. It’s never caused me any issues or discomfort.
I do think there are a solid amount of people that, like me, find this size comfortable for daily wear.
