It's a great time for diamond ring buyers, I got a 2.64 ct round F VS1 CVD ideal cut earlier last year and it is so insanely gorgeous, and prices have changed even so much since then that I just recently got a 7.64 ct round E VS1 CVD ideal cut and I'm still in shock that I could actually get something like that...😲

Yep ... lab grown diamonds are a game changer. I actually heard someone say "well, my natural diamond took millions of years to grow" ... try spotting that across the room! Back in the day ... I did my research and got a VS1 diamond from a reputable distributer (Blue Nile) at 1.39 carats ... for what I paid for it, I could get a 4 carat lab grown (5 carats if adjusted for inflation). BTW: I agree that 2-3 carats is the sweet spot ... anything else looks ridiculous on ... and they won't believe it anyway ... you'd have to be a member of the Rothchild's to strut a 5-6 carat natural diamond.

I totally agree with this! I normally buy gold and diamonds online, but my best deals - AND the pieces that also happens to be my best looking jewelry - were all bought in store at the jewelers. Live and learn.

Upgraded my natural diamond to lab grown 4 .14 ct, 7,337.34$ certified by IGI,colur F,clarity VS 2, cut grade ideal,polish & symmetry excellent,flurences none,CVD. I'm starting to rethink my decision I have 30 days to get my natural diamond back. Help. Please Thanks

Completely natural

How much Do you think 20 to 40 carats single cvd diamonds cost per carat? And could they maintain their value?

Whats your opinion of websites like blue nile and brilliance? Huge disparity of prices for the sane quality diamond.

Don't buy diamonds PERIOD. Don't get swallowed up by this so-called tradition made up by super-rich and horrific diamond companies. They don't hold value. Real or lab grown, you will only get a fraction of what you paid. Maybe 20% after you pay sales commission. That's not an investment at all. Honestly ladies, you're literally putting a price on yourself like a prostitute. The amount you spend on a diamond has no bearing on your love for each other. Save your money and the environment and don't buy one. I say get a cheap small band that shows you're married but that's it, tungsten is great it looks perfect, never scratches and is cheap with a fraction of the footprint on the planet and society. If you still think you need something flashy that says you are an expensive prostitute to all those people who you don't like who would judge you. Then get a cubic zirconia in a 14k gold ring. NOBODY will know the difference except a jeweler and nobody is going to ask for the receipt. My wife and I spent $7k on her rings and they're collecting dust now after having kids and our priorities changed. Jewelry has no value, she just wears a simple gold band now that is easy to clean and doesn't snag on everything. She realized that the ring is a fake symbol and just becomes a burden. Constantly worried about stones falling out, getting it cleaned, polished, is it insured, are people judging her because she looks rich, are they sizing her up to charge her extra because she has expensive jewelry, or even rob you, do we want our daughters to find value in big flashy diamonds, or even worse your ring getting caught on something and it rips your finger off or mutilates it (happens every day, look it up). Also this is money that could be better spent. Down payment on a home or your retirement. $5k compounded for 40 years is almost $30k. Your diamond will be worth at best a quarter of what you paid, likely more like an 8th. Selling it is also a pain, shops will give you pennies on the dollar and private sales attract scammers and thieves who will try rob you at a meetup. Also don't look at the insured value. That is not the resale value, insured is over inflated everytime. Just don't fall into this trap. Diamonds are less than useless and create a market for blood diamonds. Require massive mining operations that pollute the air, and water and destroy habitat. Crazy amounts of energy for the whole supply chain. Sweatshops are used to cut and polish them in 3rd world countries. Much of this goes for lab grown too. Lastly people are not smart, 85% of us just do what everyone else does. So they see a bride with a flashy ring and they want one themselves. Even if it's a lab grown or cubic zirconia it still looks like a diamond. So they assume it's a real diamond and set off to buy one. Keeping the market going for blood diamonds, sweatshops and environmentally destructive operations. Don't be fooled by carbon credits or renewable energy used to make your lab grown diamond either. Even if it's legitimately certified real, that's still renewable energy that has been diverted from powering a school or hospital or a farm just to make a usless bobble that does nothing but burden you and bring harm to the planet. Good luck!

I’m sorry if you got her a 2ct diamond and she loves it and says wish it was 3ct dump her. She is ungreatful

LOL, people can see it across the street, this will be my bargain tool from now on when I’m buying diamonds☺️

You can’t get these prices (currency converted ) in Australia for a lab diamond , I did the same specs on a website in Australia that offers lab diamonds and it came to $4300 for a 3ct WHY 😢

Thank you for your videos. Where is the best place to buy lab grown diamonds online? Thank you.

Great insights! At Parallel Vault, we offer beautiful lab-grown diamonds crafted to perfection.

And you forgot to tell no one buys back lab diamonds and natural diamonds you lose 75%value walking out jewerly

Price of 5 ctw solitaire emerald cut, D-E color, VVS, lab vs earth

Purchased this one LG597360139 for $464. Was that a good price?

Looking for a 3 ct round or princess cut lab diamond. My local jeweler says 2,500-3,500. I think that sounds too much from what you are talking about.

It would really be nice if you placed these on your web site for sale.

Natural and lab they all have pros and cons

Absolutely lab grown!

One beauty of Lab Grown Diamonds is the availability of fancy shapes, which match for ear ring sets. Try to find a set of elongated cushion cut natural diamonds for ear rings that have matched ratios.

Does the shape of a lab grown diamond make a difference in the price?

He said, and looks like it's less than three grams of gold. Which isn't 24k either so maybe $150 of gold if that. Sad you want to make money on the diamonds, gold and labor plus the profit

I appreciate this deep dive into lab-grown diamonds! It's fantastic to see more people recognizing their value. At Solitario Diamond, we offer a wide range of beautiful lab-grown diamond pieces for everyone! 💎✨

Help me

How can I get in touch with you?

Not only for the savings.. but to save also the messed up environment and the exploited people/countries

I cannot listen to somebody that can't pronounce the word especially. He pronounced it ekspecially. So if you're that type of mental midget you have nothing that I want to listen to

My cousin got his fiancé a huge natural diamond for 15k. He caught her cheating on him lass than a month after he got the ring & took it back. They offered him only 6k for it. What’s crazy, they had a lab diamond, same size, but going for 6k instead of 15k

LGDs are not equally created, just like NDs. Factories need to get together and create an OPEC like Cartel to limit how many poor quality LGDs are allowed, how many mid grade LGDs are allowed, and how many dazzling top grade LGDs are allowed in to the market. Remember, the eye can distinguish differences between several D/VVS1 rated stones, when they’re side by side.

No

always buy lab. less likely to be blood diamonds ya think?

Do you have any tips on where to buy diamond rings in Europe?

No, lab grown diamonds aren't the same as natural diamonds. If they were, there wouldn't be machines that can tell the difference between the two 100% of the time

oh man ... i just bought 3ct cvd for 1637 usd ; D , VVS1 , 3CT ,3EX CUT yours only 1100 usd , looks like i pay too much for it .

This guys claims he’s got 35 years in the business and doesn’t even know what CVD is. It’s “deposition”, not “disposition”. Disposition is your temperment… he’s clowning us

While it's cool to save so much money to get something almost the same, but knowing that it takes thousands of years for mother nature to create my stones makes me feel amazing. I'd rather go for anything natural!

I just bought a 1.26 Radiant from luvansh IGI G VS1 for $133. Can you create a setting? Can i reach out to you?

I need a setting for a radiant 1.26 diamond igi certified. Can i work with you please on a setting?

Are labs all the same ? Do they have colours likee the real ones or is there flaws still, or a they all exactly they same, perfection!

I’ve been wanting a lab diamond tennis bracelet hopefully they get cheaper lol

Very informative!

thanks por info❤

I guessed right 🙂
