Lab-Grown Diamonds At A 30% Discount

[@wingid]

Lab grow diamond is real diamond, not fake. And more environmentally friendly than mines diamond.

[@iblogger3730]

proof?

[@ludotema3615]

Real what!? Their only value is that they emulate naturally formed stones.

[@emperorfaiz]

@@ludotema3615 It's real in a chemical term. Diamond is nothing more than a piece of carbon material superheated and compressed into what it is. The only difference is the lab-grown diamond can be mass-produced and be sold at a cheaper price while the natural diamond has purposely lowered the supply just to make it look rare no thanks to Debeer's monopoly.

@@igor-fk3vv To begin with Certs aren't "standard" at all, and a GIA is just one of MANY certifications, they're not even the most popular branded lab cert either. Most diamonds don't have a cert nor have they ever been certified, so it's not like you can rely on a Cert as a identification method for a "real" diamond.

Diamonds are a scam. If it wasn't for DeBeers monopoly, you would be paying less than a thousand a carat for earth mined (Canada and Russia mines are finding hundreds of carats per day), and lab grown would be $200 a carat. Moisannite sparkles more, is almost as hard and is flawless. A beautiful one carat Moisannite ring in real 14k gold can be had for under $500., and if you put it together yourself under $300.

Lab grown diamonds were legally recognized in the US as diamonds, And GIA will grade them, thus yes. they have value. They're hard to make, hard to cut, and costs money to do all of the above. The market is moving that way, even if old jewelers don't want to recognize it.

[@igor-fk3vv]

Gia grade them as LG diamond. if u have economic education u should know LG price is going to decrease non-stop cause we can make as much as we want and the cost production is going to drop. But natural diamond are still rare ;)

@@igor-fk3vv yes. But as demand for natrual diamond decreases because LG are getting cheaper and easier to produce, and thus overtake the market (projections from our suppliers are that by 2022 70% of melee and 40% of larger stones on the market will be LG) the price of natrual will drop as well. Supply and demand. Same supply is coming out of the ground every day. But demand will drop.

@@igor-fk3vv the price is completely dependant on demand. Natrual diamonds don't have any more intrinsic value, so if all the upcoming purchasers don't care about if it's LG or natrual, the demand will drop. As will the price.

igor igor You are quite ridiculous. Lab grown diamonds has the exact same chemical and physical properties as “natural” mined diamonds, Therefore it has the same value as mined stones. Period. Anything else is propaganda aimed at taking advantage of people for money. Any idea stating otherwise is artificial and not based in reality. There is no difference of opinion that is valid. On an atomic level they are the same. The process by which one is created is neither here nor there. Need I remind you that they are rocks? Saying it’s more valuable because it came out of the earth and is, usually, lesser quality is the absolute definition of self serving stupidity. We get it you’ve devoted your life and career to an artificially inflated industry. You have monetary interest in perpetrating this enormous lie but please get over yourself. You can say the same hysterical madness over and over it does NOT make it true. Scientifically and based in FACT which is measurable and quantifiable, the actual value is exactly same. If you say otherwise you’re just lying, maybe even to yourself, for MONEY.

@@LaDivinaLover @LaBartoliLover To me you look so naif, u wrote ur comment only to convince urself it's ok to buy "printed" stones to ur girlfriend cause ur broke a.f., its more easy to say "diamond is reptilo complotism from evil jew" than making money and buy something authentic. The problem to me s u assume everyone agree on the fact that printed diamond have the same value than genuine, but it's not the case my broken friend. Thats why LG are actually priced cheaper than genuine one, and this disparity increase. Check rapaport on google, u will see the quote of natural diamond, and everything is perfectly find for us, increasing as always.

So you can't tell the difference between lab grown and natural yet they suddenly become 'worthless' when you're told they're from the lab. We really are surprisingly stupid at times.

[@Austin1990]

What would a clay pot be worth if I told you that it is from 2000 BC? What if I, then, revealed that I had just made it in my garage? Some people care about extrinsic value. For something that is merely supposed to look pretty, I think that is stupid. But, extrinsic value is very important to some.

[@Austin1990]

@/root Nah, I think the extrinsic value of natural stones makes even less sense because there is no human connection. My point is just that many people are not like me; they do care about extrinsic value. And, I respect that difference.

[@Austin1990]

@/root If someone lies to you about the origin of an “ancient” vase, you are paying a lot more money than you would have otherwise. Thus, it is an extrinsic value. That is not different from being told that a diamond formed naturally vs being made in a lab. Someone who values the stone just for being natural would similarly pay more for a natural stone as you would pay more for an ancient vase. Just as your valuation differs from mine, our valuations differs from valuations of other people. People place different prices on intrinsic values as well. So, this isn't surprising. But, intrinsic values seem easier for others to relate to.

[@Findingsunshiness]

My diamond for my fiance is lab grown. She love it. She can get it big and nobody literally can tell whether its lab grown. It has no blood stain, no worker needing to dig for it and be underpaid. Its as gorgeous as the real thing. Why waste money on a diamond when you can use the money to travel. Also 30% cheaper for lab grown is not cheap. Mine is closer to 50 or 60% cheaper. Remarkable quality too.

@meaturama lol lab and natural are 99% same, same carbon, same hardness, same 4C, same density, heck it is SAME stone, just like hidroponic veggies and land veggies (even the lab diamond are closer to natural than that), the one that make it different are how to get it and how many blood and tears to get it (and price ofc)

[@krychickspp2745]

Yes, a much better investment! Being as I don't think the 'average' everyday person could afford a diamond engagement ring of a large enough size and good enough quality for it to really be an investment that will pay off in the future, especially when you consider the mark-up on gold and diamonds- if you paid retail for a diamond ring, you already lost money as soon as you walked out of the store. I'm nor divorced, but my family went through quite a rough time a few years back and I sold my natural platinum and diamond engagement/wedding rings. I worked in the jewellery business in NYC for several years, not specifically with diamonds though I did sell some so I had to have some knowledge of the product... Even with a little behind the scenes knowledge, I still could only sell them for a third of the retail price- and I went to several dealers. Funny thing is, I hated those rings. I don't like traditional jewellery, I think diamonds are fine as accent stones. But, IMHO, Mother Earth produces far more beautiful stones than diamonds, diamonds are not rare (though there are rare diamonds), the mark up is ridiculous when considering diamonds as investments, and if your love eternal rests on the size and stone in the ring on your finger, I'd say reconsider if it'ss really love after all.

Glad to hear this from a woman. I took the time and opportunity to share lab grown options with my SO who is a family oriented, catholic and traditional woman. She had no clue it was even an option and was remorseful when she thought I would think a natural diamond is the only option. She did some more investigating on them and agreed that doing anything else is financially irresponsible. The ring has become a social construct and pressure to show social status. I am certain she is the woman I described above and is someone I can commit my life to. Any signs of hesitation would’ve been against her character and I would likely be reconsidering her motives.

Honestly the only problem I have with a lab grown diamond is that it's too expensive. My engagement ring is Moissanite with diamond halo and if we found a lab diamond ring at the same price then we would may have gone for that (Moissanite has more brilliance than diamond). If the material is durable and looks beautiful then 👌 As for resale value, in my country (and some of the other places I've been to) gold has better resale value than diamonds do. The value of a diamond is intrinsic and I'm glad more people are starting to opt for alternatives.

Yes, they sparkle....under the right lighting, but if all it does is sparkle, but is otherwise boring, what's the point?!? I actually prefer almost any other stone to a diamond any day. All the others have color and charachter.

[@TheRubinator13]

I'm such a cheapskate I would rather it look expensive rather than it actually be expensive so i would love a lab grown, or honestly a natural cut gem ring

[@tkd-zo4iu]

it's still expensive though😂

[@MystikAzn4vr]

I only eat plants that grow naturally in the wild, I don't eat plants if people planted them. I think that's roughly what it comes down to.

[@folk.]

A wedding ring should be GOLD. A pure smooth surface ring of gold, and nothing else.

This video was made in 2015. I've heard lab diamonds are even better bargains now. As lab diamonds become lower in cost, it will drive down the price of diamonds in general. This means diamonds are not likely to be a good investment and will likely cost less the longer you wait for more and more efficient lab diamond production.

[@Austin1990]

Unfortunately, they are still pricy, about $2000 per high quality carat. I would consider them if they were half that..

[@samedayairconditioningandh165]

Actually man made diamonds are much much more rare than naturally made diamonds

[@mzk123ify]

Ive been feeling uncomfortable having a diamond now that I know how they are mined "blood diamonds"... I think we may have to make a switch....

[@7jacquesnel]

Gotta agree that selling a lab grown back to the jeweler is gonna be difficult. But whats the point of buying a ring if you're planning on reselling it later.

[@jesuschrist232]

Jared and James Allen now sells lab grown diamonds

[@blueseas43]

2:01 you got a juuler, not a jeweler. silly cnbc.

[@JMsoo]

This show how "SHEEPS" people are following trends set by corporates that do not even reflect love at all! With my 3 months salary, I will take my possible wife for a round the world adventure from tropical Islands to hikes around the Himalayas, meeting new people, eating new food and experiencing much much more creating true memories that will last forever... This is what I will be offering screw diamonds...

[@24califrank]

I'll take grown lab diamond... where do I sign up?

[@yozarior9204]

Mined diamonds, lab grown diamonds, they're just compressed carbon. Dunno why youd choose the more expensive mined diamond when a lab grown one from a chemical sense is exactly the same thing lol

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

I dont mind a labbie either, give it here!

[@eclipseshadowyt5917]

Wait so where can we all shop for lab grown diamonds?

[@dormamo6917]

mined diamonds companies are threatened by these lab-grown diamonds that's why they have to market it as "no-value" diamond.

[@MrPrentissDJones]

There still controlling the diamond supply. Diamonds are everywhere and they’re worthless. Control the supply, you control the price.

[@ATeamReilly]

It's all about dollars and cents. The jewelry industry has been manipulating the public for years. Lab grown at 50%+ less is common sense.

[@10thMorales]

An HPHT-grown, type IIa, isotopically-pure carbon-13 monocrystal cut into a flawless 33.19 carat, D-colour, Octavia-cut diamond…would be the only one of its kind in the entire universe. It will not be sniffed over.😉👍

[@didxogns1]

The grandpa jeweler was actually nice to deal with. I don't agree with him at all but it was pleasant to listen to him.

[@EMPERORSPROTECTION-TERRA4LIFE]

How do you grow compressed carbon?

[@gemmarium4337]

Just so it’s clear, GIA came up with the four C’s. Not DeBeers.

[@shellybee9322]

I just yelled across the room for my guy to get a lab grown diamond.

[@ruzzelladrian907]

Buy gold. Gold is actually useful, that's why it's expensive. The price of gold wasn't artificially created like De Beers did with diamonds.

[@mohitmehrotra3026]

Showed this to my girlfriend, her instantaneous reaction: "I want a lab-grown diamond"

[@2MeterLP]

Lab grown diamonds are so cool. Its a literally shining example of human progress. Thats the only kind of diamond I want. My wedding ring will be tungsten and lab grown diamond.

[@PopPipPop]

I dont like those “jewellers” aditudes! Im not even gonna get into how diamonds are actually worth way way less than theyre advertised because this video says it all very clearly

[@sofiale3876]

I bought a nice 3ct lab grown diamond at $160. It is amazing. Go to aliexpress

[@Austin1990]

I don’t think you can even cut them for that little. You got a CZ.

Nothing???? It worths something, the value we give them.

I love my lab grown,conflict free, diamond 💍💎

[@scottm2553]

Uhhhh... A lab grown diamond IS a real diamond.

[@elizabethstart7466]

If you can't tell I bet some are already lab grown in the market.

[@mattdeans9873]

I think it depends on what 'the couple' decides. Going into hock for years over a ring is no way to start a life together. But for pure dazzle and splendor: Elizabeth Taylor at the height of her beauty, wearing one of her breathtaking diamond suites. WOW!!

[@cesarzepeda8702]

5:54 I don't know if that was a little girl, a teenager, or an adult woman but she has a point.

[@ilove2929]

Why mined diamond is expensive? They mined it from earth, and requires real good professional to cut and shape it from rough stone to sellable form. Some ppl might have died because of it. Thats the price u pay it for

[@lilpeanutish]

People die clearing poop in 3rd world countries with bad sanitation too, from diseases such as cholera, hepatitis etc. That still doesn't make the poop worth anything in those countries.

[@campkira]

Try to dig in your backyard and down the point of diamond mining.

[@Kat-kx8tf]

I think it would be great to have a lab grown diamond if one is not expecting to sell it for profit or even less than half for what they paid for it! Lab grown diamonds are expected to keep decreasing in value, while many mined diamonds will hold their value. Colored diamonds, especially blue and pink, will increase in value. I think it's a great idea to have both. Perhaps buy colorless lab grown and colored natural/mined.

Wait, soon is going to be $800 @ CT. Not 30%less

[@97ana]

I would actually prefer lab grown diamond. First there is no children that were killed in mines to make this diamond and second and it costs less. I dont care if its natural or not because it looks like a normal diamond to me

[@Khaltazar]

I wouldn't be surprised if lots of people buy lab-grown diamonds unknowingly when they say they want mined diamond but the store wants to get rid of their lab-grown diamonds so lie to the customer especially if the grade is the same.

[@milliegarrett8459]

Growing a diamond in a lab seems way cool to me, not less romantic. I care that it's a shiny and hard wearing gemstone. Moissanite looks much better value for money.

[@igor-fk3vv]

Moissanite is mass produced, no value.

[@krychickspp2745]

It's much better value for the money, don't let the ad men fool ya.

[@WadeMcLure]

5:44 Listen to this little girl talk (she is a little girl right, and not a grown woman?)

[@rambido]

All diamonds half carat and larger should be laser inscribed as to origin (maybe MM and/or NE as man made, natural earth). Currently among dealers, disclosure is honest and forthcoming. The 'problem' will arise from resale if and when there is no marking on the jewel. A universal standard would be very helpful and is overdue. There is a major risk of loss of trust in which the 'earth' diamonds' value will be re-adjusted downward.

[@tipuali6079]

Is there a legit website i can check this out or buy one

[@janiceg.7489]

Lab grown Diamonds are definitely real diamonds, the process on how it was made is the only difference. The value depreciates a bit because of the process but the authenticity is just the same. Just like test tube babies formed in the lab, aren't they real babies? That jeweler was just so funny saying LB diamonds have zero value. What!?

[@fakenamefakeaccount7174]

Try and resell a lab grown. You can't. They have zero value.

[@justso4509]

@@fakenamefakeaccount7174 Only because those buyers _refuse_ to _give_ them value . I'd be happy to have a secondhand lab grown diamond for my personal use and rejoice in the savings!

I wore a deep rich 150 carat Aquamarine , 1980. Too the Plaza.It started mens jewelry. Many men loved jewels through out history.The blue should be sapphire blue. A red is beyond Ruby.You have woman, but the Hollywood left out men.You must be a strong guy to keep great diamonds, before phones.Even today many have weapons when blinging out.

[@evilqueen09]

Actually a gemologist can tell if it is lab grown or not, on the band of the diamond, in tiny laser written letters it will state whether it is or not. This is so that a jeweler can not scam somebody selling someone a lab grown diamond for the price of a real one. And by real I mean one that is mined and made naturally by nature.

[@jamescrud]

...and by real you mean one that was dug up by slave labor and resulted in a dead body.

[@evilqueen09]

Nah. Not all diamonds are blood diamonds, and it’s ignorant to think otherwise. I sport what I like, and what I can afford. I can afford and I like natural diamonds so that’s what I wear.

[@jamescrud]

@@evilqueen09 You have no real way of knowing 100% that what you have isn't a blood diamond.
