Real Talk Lab Grown Diamond Haters Are Delusional

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Friendly reminder: NO ONE can choose for you! Whether you’re team natural or team lab-grown, BOTH are the right choice! 💎✨ What do you think about this? Drop your comments below!

[@mrsdiii2354]

I have both natural and lab diamonds. And i prefer lab. I can’t tell the difference so I don’t see the point paying natural diamond price. Everyone I know who got engaged recently went for 2ct+ lab diamond.

[@Americancoconuts]

My aunt: *sees my 2.26 carat moissanite and starts hyperventilating* My aunt: but…that’s a diamond? Me: it’s a moissanite My aunt: oh. So it’s fake. Me: it’s a gemstone but it’s not a diamond. My aunt: oh. I loved moissanite when I got my ring and I thought I could handle the comments from people but I can’t. So I ordered a lab diamond after having my ring for 1.5 years. I might have to deal with some comments/assumptions from people for having a lab too, but at least it’s still a diamond. I didn’t shout from the rooftops that I had a moissanite but I noticed certain women would freak out and almost interrogate me about it, and I wasn’t going to be dishonest because I can tell the difference.

[@donnabennett5454]

I admit that I wear moissanite. I'm obsessed! The funny thing is, my friends insist they are real and I should be careful wearing them! I mean yes, they are real gemstones that test as diamonds, but not diamonds in and of themselves. I adore them all! Diamonds, moissanites and lab diamonds alike. I wear them every day even when I sleep. They are all so special. Enjoy yours!

[@KimMcKenney-575]

I love you Bonnie! Thanks for addressing this and I'm still hopeful that we can all start respecting each other a bit more!

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

I totally agree!

[@markrosolini2934]

"I completely understand your perspective and respect a person's individual choice, but for me personally, I would never buy my wife lab-grown diamonds. It’s not about judgment-it’s just that I see something truly magical in the natural formation of diamonds. They’re an extraordinary creation, billions of years in the making, carrying the energy and blueprint of the universe. To me, that natural process connects the diamond to the wearer in a profound way that a lab-grown stone simply can’t replicate. For us, the connection through a natural diamond symbolizes something timeless and unique-just like our bond. Of course, if someone is looking for stunning, high-quality stones at a more affordable price, lab-grown diamonds are a great option. But for me, it’s about more than just the beauty; it’s about the story, energy, and depth behind the stone."

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Totally agree with you! I also enjoy the magical natural formation of diamonds! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

[@phwshopping1426]

This!❤

[@donnabennett5454]

I literally have them all and wear them every day! I mix and match too. Everyone should wear what they enjoy and they are all special! Right now, I'm wearing my 25 carat princess moissanite ring with micro-hidden halo set in platinum with my 18k white gold spacer band and my 18k white gold 5 carat oval moissanite five stone half-eternity band.

[@EbonyRivers1]

I wear both natural and lab diamonds. I don’t really have anywhere to go this morning, so I’m gonna go put my lab diamond on and wear it around the house in silent rebellion.😂😂 I’ll never understand the whole natural vs lab beef. To each his own. Geez!! And might I add, you look so elegant and posh in this ivory and matching the set. It all comes together so nicely.🥰

[@mayukhadeepak7798]

I do the same I wear my labs at home or if I'm just going down the street or if I don't wanna wear something too expensive to the office

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Thank you love!

[@albertmonicagarcia9546]

Bonnie, thank you for educating the trolls that they are both diamonds! My original 1 carat marquis engagement ring is a natural diamond and my 25th anniversary 2 carat radiant is a lab diamond. I love them both equally; not because one is lab or natural but because of the meaningful significance of what they represent, the time/thought that was put into them, and the magical love behind it.❤ Yes I love beautiful shiny jewelry but I wish that some people don’t lose sight of what’s truly important here and that is the ring’s representation of their love together when they wear it. Can’t we all just be happy for each other and stop the comparisons?

[@janettezcan4694]

Like the old saying goes. To each their own!

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

YASS~!

[@xristinarose2409]

I used to buy a lot of cheap mass produced silver rings for myself but over the years really started to appreciate the craftmanship of actually well crafted items by juwelers. Not only is it the little details, its also the wear and tear. Will prob replace my whole collection with better quality over the next years

[@lisaaustin4561]

I 💕 your rings today!! The ruby band really sets it off! And you’re right about craftsmanship. Before I started watching your videos I just assumed the craftsmanship would be there no matter who I bought from. Thank you! If I ever have the money for my dream ring you will be who I go with!

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Thank you so much, love! 💖 I’m so happy to hear the videos have helped you appreciate craftsmanship more! If you ever decide to go for your dream ring, I’d be so honored to work with you! ✨

[@karenbenton3921]

Thanks for addressing this Bonnie I love all diamonds lab grown or not❤ Have a great wkend

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

I love them all :)))

[@helisoma]

actually that's a good point...before lab diamonds there were clarity and color enhanced natural diamonds that were devalued and overpriced...in comparison today one can get a very high quality lab diamond with no hidden enhancements, and you get so much more for what you pay for, so we are very lucky these days to have these options 🙏🏻

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

The evolution in options has been amazing 💎✨

[@holistichabits]

on a side not, i've been loving all your outfits lately Bonnie! 👌🏼💗

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Thank you so much, love 🥰

[@Rita-mn1th]

Bonnie my love ❤️ My favourite jewelry designer, My no holding back, Go big or go home 💕🌟 Thanks for setting the naïve population out there straight !!!

[@Whatarosielife]

I’m in the jewelry industry as well and this is so on point. It’s doesn’t matter what diamond you get. It’s a sentimental piece that means so much, and the craftsmanship is 💯 just as important. Well said Bonnie well said 👏🏻

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

It’s always great to hear from someone in the industry who values the same things, sentiment and craftsmanship are truly what make a piece unforgettable! 💎💕

[@DanaAngelaAlexisMiller]

I love this video!! It’s so true. Also, your rings and craftsmanship is amazing. ✨

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Thank you so much, love 💖💍

[@maggielim7430]

I have all mined diamonds in my jewellery as I like diamonds. Recently I was talked into buying a lab diamond bracelet, it brows my mind, is so so beautiful, is truly a pc of high quality diamond bracelet.. I will buy more lab diamonds in my collection.

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

That’s awesome! 💎 It’s great to hear you’re enjoying the beauty and quality of your lab diamond bracelet 💖

[@Pinkyredz300]

I have both natural, lab grown and Moissanite which is a gem 💎 of its own. I love them all!!!! But I really adore my 3 carat lab grown solitaire ring. It looks magical under the lights, but Moissanite has great firework sparks to it.

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

How wonderful that you love them all! Each stone has its own special shine 💖

[@Pinkyredz300]

@ ❤️

[@sunsprite4545]

I have earth mined and lab grown. Just want to say that both types are carbon based diamonds as per the FTC, which most people know by now. The fact that lab growns are legally recognized and verified to be carbon based diamonds is a bigger deal to me personally than whether it is earth mined or lab grown. In a setting both types look great to me but I have to admit that my lab grown diamonds are of higher quality in the four C's and it is obvious in comparison. Also, in buying lab grown diamonds I have saved a ton of money up front as opposed to what I would have had to spend buying earth mined.

[@cindykimbro6362]

I own both natural and lab. I enjoy switching things up based on where I am going and what I am wearing. Lab grown has the price point where I can afford multiple pieces. My heirloom pieces are natural.

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Thank you for sharing dear!

[@helisoma]

A lab diamond is forever, because it's a diamond 😌 (i have smaller natural and bigger lab...both are nice so it's really about the experience you have in owning it)

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Exactly! 💎 A diamond is a diamond, no matter how it’s grown ✨

[@satoyaT192]

Thank you for making this video. I appreciate you speaking up and speaking out. I have learned so much from watching your channel.

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Thank you for the sweet message, love! I’m so happy to hear you’ve learned a lot from my channel 💖

[@heatheromoore5357]

I love that you are so focused on great craftsmanship 💕

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Thank you so much, love! Craftsmanship really makes all the difference 💖✨

[@lisaaustin4561]

My dream ring is over 3 carats. I can’t afford $100,000! Even if I could I would still buy lab!

[@patriciarivas5369]

I love them both! Anything sparky captures my eye. I must have been a bird in a past life!😂

[@GirlWantsANap]

Omg Bonnie! Please drop the name of your nail polish. Gorgeous! It’s such a cute pink! 😍😍😍

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

I will have to ask my nail lady next time! I don't know the name, I just picked from the shelve :) Thank you!

[@GirlWantsANap]

@@ByBonnieJewelry pleeease keep us posted!

[@lorirex2821]

Thank you for your education online, Bonnie. Gorgeous diamonds! Thank you for setting the trolls straight about natural or lab diamond remarks. Take care.

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

You're welcome dear! Thank you for joining us!

[@DesireeRodriguezAcevedo-f8n]

I love so much that you are talking about this topic. Drop the mic 🎤 Good free education!!!!!!

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Thank you for being apart of our community!

[@brittanyb5293]

The same thing applies to moissanite! I've considered moissanite and it's so looked down on.

[@caroline7767]

I wear both and never felt any difference in my confidence. I just pick whatever looks good with my outfit. Natural diamonds were handed down in the family and I bought lab grown with my own money because I love to wear varieties in shape, design and carats.

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

I love this! 💖 It’s all about what makes you feel good and what fits your style💎✨

[@NicolleDuffy]

Bonnie, is that a ruby band you are wearing because I am OBSESSED. Please, share the details!

[@bitesizebae818]

I would love to see a real review on the double halo or the pave crown coupled with the hidden halo!

[@drennan427]

LOVE. THIS. 👏👏❤

[@mayukhadeepak7798]

Mic 🎤 drop! Love you Bonnie 💞

[@Elaine_Parhamovich]

@ByBonnieJewelry Some people have WAY too much time on their hands if their role in life is to bash people's jewelry choices! One thing I will say, since you mention designer bags, is that is a totally different issue. If someone loves designer bags and chooses to buy a generic brand that resembles say a Birkin, that's one thing. If they buy a counterfeit Birkin we're talking something else. Counterfeits are illegal. "Look-a-like" bags are not. Sometimes I wonder if people confuse lab grown diamonds thinking they're "counterfeits" of some type. Uh, no. They're not counterfeit. Lab grown diamonds are indeed diamonds, just from a different "manufacturer" than natural diamonds. At the end of the day, lab or natural, diamonds are beautiful. Your jewelry is even more beautiful because of the craftsmanship. I'm a stickler for that myself. 😉

[@nikkil764]

I have both and wear both. I prefer natural diamonds because they are a store of wealth like precious metals. The markup on jewelry is extremely high but a natural diamond does still have greater value. If you want a multigenerational piece of art, then buy natural. I love my grandmother’s ring from the 1920s best even though it’s a smaller stone than mine. If you want a piece of fashion jewelry, then may as well get lab grown. Also, get a travel ring that is lab grown to wear in the city.

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Such a thoughtful perspective! 🥰💎

[@phwshopping1426]

Jewelers stand to make far more money and with ease, on the lab grown version of diamonds. As a lover of all history and natural diamonds, I won't be partaking. I see the draw on both ends.

[@sfmiko7869]

I agree 💯 % Bonnie!

[@6Eduardo]

i Purchased a 5.05 Carats Marquise IGI Certified Lab Diamond with a 14K Rose Gold 3MM Lab Diamond Band, F Color, VS1 Clarity, ideal Cut, For $2,300 Dollars including Taxes ........ i Don't Find anything especial about a Diamond, Natural or Lab and The Fact Some People are willing To Spend More $ Buying a Diamond Than The Price of a House or a New Car, Makes NO sense To Me But That's My opinion

[@KCinLG]

I’ve been married 15 years and no one has EVER asked me if my diamond is natural or lab (it’s natural 😜), so I find it really funny and odd that anyone would; I just get compliments. 🤣 But hey, to each their own. You do YOU boo. 🙌🏼

[@ndnqt8087]

Just get what you like and can afford it’s just jewelry. It’s not that serious. They’re both beautiful. Just do you and don’t worry about what others think. Also you don’t have to tell anyone anything the no one’s business.

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Absolutely! Jewelry is all about what makes you happy 💎✨

[@Leah-bs8mr]

Everyone can and should make their own choice, knowing the facts. The difference is mined diamonds are made by the creator whereas lab diamonds are man made and mass produced. I prefer mined diamonds knowing that I have something one of kind made by the creator. Also something big to consider is a lab diamond does not hold any value, and cannot be pawned ( how many people who sell jewelry tell you this?). A mined diamond will always have value. It's similar to buying art, when you buy a mass produced art piece well it doesn't hold much value, but when you buy a one of a kind art piece made by an artist its price can go way up in value depending on the piece. Lets be nice to one another and respect everyones decision once they know the facts.

Mic 🎤 drop! 🎉

[@angeltears2586]

I simply just LOVE Bonnie's channel!! I have learned só much about diamonds, when as before I thought I knew everything about it. TO THOSE that don't have something nice to say, I would love to see them do better and they should rather focus their attention on something else, because we don't need bored "Ms/Mrs "Karen's" here. Bonnie, YÓÚ are the best!! Stay beautiful, Stay kind and much love. 🙂‍↕️🤍🪽

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Thank you so much for the kind words! 🥰💖 Let’s focus on positivity and lifting each other up!

[@janettezcan4694]

What size are your stud’s? They are stunning! Are they lab?

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

They are 3.50ct each. The ones I am wearing are natural but available in lab!

[@janettezcan4694]

@ to die for! So pretty!

[@helisoma]

😳😳😳

[@jimbuckets]

It’s definitely not appropriate to judge others for their choice. You don’t know their financial situation or their values. By suggesting a marriage can fail based on the stone chosen is a really bad marketing campaign. Personally, I am not a fan of lab grown due to the loss in value of the item. If I’m spending thousands on a gem then I want it to at least retain its value and not just be beautiful, but that is my decision. It’s not my place to say others should avoid lab grown.

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Everyone’s journey and preferences are unique, and that’s what makes it special. Thanks for sharing your perspective 💖

[@RachelClairHart]

Oh

[@DavidAnderson-o1e]

Bonnie let's be honest here, you're clearly on the natural diamonds team. All of your personal engagement rings are natural. I agree, natural vs lab doesn't determine the success of one's marriage. I understand that lab is part of your business, but don't go telling people that lab is the same as natural. In a few years, lab diamond jewlery will be so prevalent, they will basically be considered costume jewlery

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Yes, I do prefer Natural Diamonds for my engagement rings, and I have some non-engagement ring pieces that are lab-grown, mostly used for travel. My personal preference for what I wear shouldn’t influence someone else’s decision to buy one over the other. The choices are available-each to their own!

[@elohelreh]

Tiring! that’s an excellent way to describe the back n forth.

[@sarahsyed-chaudhry1724]

Natural diamonds are not rare and value is artificially inflated with highly questionable business and labor practices ( child labor, blood diamonds). Lab give you the sparkle at the fraction of the price and is just better production methods.

[@brir29292]

Burning oil for lab production?

[@brir29292]

Oh really why dont you wear a lab grown then? Lmao

[@EliseF.I.R.E.mePlease]

Thank you Bonnie! 💕
