People with no money buy pet lab rocks. 🤣 When the jewlers wont buy them back that should tell you they are worthless. 🤣🤣🤣

[@87jallen]

I remember when 1 carat was the dream size ring!

[@fungirl1202]

Yep, me too. Then celebrities like Princess Grace of Monaco and Liz Taylor, all the way up Victoria Beckham, Beyoncé, Paris Hilton and Mariah Carey, started popping up with these door knocker sized diamond rings and us “little people” wanted the look. My husband just “upgraded” me to a 4 carat loose lab emerald cut diamond that I had a jeweler make into a new ring for our 19 year anniversary. For me, going lab wasn’t just about cost (and we literally paid pennies on the dollar compared to a natural diamond) but also sustainability - the first diamond he gave me was a .53 carat natural diamond that belonged to his grandmother and then his mother for the same reason: Cost and sustainability. If I can save money AND be kinder to people and our planet, that’s what’s called a smart investment. #justsaynotoblooddiamonds

[@eternalwizard776]

I love both lab and natural! If I could afford all natural I would but I was really set on a 3ct or larger so I went lab. No shame in it. Diamonds aren’t cheap regardless and many women don’t even get them so I’m more then grateful. It should last me a lifetime regardless of how much cost and that’s what really matters to me 🥰

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Absolutely, your sentiment is spot on! Whether natural or lab-grown, the important thing is that you love your ring and it holds meaning for you. 💎💕😊

[@GgfgHhk]

In order to protect the natural environment and ecology, we should actively promote the laboratory diamond laboratory ruby ​​laboratory sapphire laboratory emerald laboratory moissanite. At the same time, it also protects the pocket where you put money. In fact, you can use the saved money for what you love. people do something more meaningful.

Lady, as a chemical engineer myself. Let me tell you that lab HPHT is superior bc of this thing called entropy. 😊

[@ikixazz23]

Lab grown all the way! My original e-ring is mined but for my upgrade I’ll definitely be going lab. I’ve always liked the look of a larger stone but thinking about wearing a luxury car on my finger is daunting lol. If it’s the exact same, I’d rather spend that money elsewhere!

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

Choosing lab-grown diamonds for an upgrade is a fantastic choice! It's all about finding what suits your style and preferences, and I'm sure your upgraded ring will be absolutely beautiful! 💍💎😊

[@rebeccadaniels7046]

Team lab all the way! Also, I’m loving that last set with the 2.8 band. I see so many women going for the ultra thin bands and I just don’t get it. They will bend, they will wear and they will eventually break. That happened with both of my grandmothers rings (mom’s mom and dad’s mom). And those large stones look so good with the bigger band. Love your work, Bonnie!

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

YAS 😍❤️ We love a Lab Look! You're absolutely right; wider bands can provide more durability and support for larger stones. Ultimately, it's essential to select the style and materials that resonate with your personal taste and lifestyle. -Team By Bonnie

I was always 100% mined/natural gal, until I was looking to get a "dupe" travel ring for my engagement ring... and found my perfect IGI Hearts & Arrows lab one , and I am truly blown away. LOVE it so much, and am totally open to both mined/natural and lab options from now on. THAT SAID, if money was no object .. honestly i would only stick to natural/mined, there's just something so intrinsically special about one that's billion of years old from deep down in the earth.

[@ByBonnieJewelry]

It's wonderful to hear that you've discovered the beauty of lab-grown diamonds and found a perfect dupe for your travel ring! They can offer exceptional quality and value. 💎💍😊 Each has its own charm, and your preference depends on what resonates with you most. Whether natural or lab-grown, both choices can result in stunning jewelry pieces!

My natural diamond fell out of my engagement ring about 15 yrs ago. I didn’t want to replace the entire ring. I wanted to just buy another diamond. My husband & I told the jeweler our budget.

[@TMS4173]

I appreciate everyone’s decision to purchase lab grown. The stone’s presence in the market has definitely shaken the industry. That said, if one cannot or does not want to buy mined diamonds, it is better to buy an alternative precious jewel that one may not have otherwise considered such as morganite, perodite, citrine, tanzanite, or countless other beautiful gems that the earth has given us. Diamonds are great but they not floor and ceiling of constitutes an engagement ring.

[@namitamohinani]

I've always been a natural diamond girl! From the heirlooms my grandmother passed on to me, it has felt of sentimental significance. Also, the knowledge that this piece of rock has been around since before the dinosaurs and before humans feels very special; it's as if I'm carrying a little piece of this earth with me. I'd rather trade off a slightly smaller/colored diamond vs a lab grown one. I feel blessed my husband proposed with a natural 2 carat solitaire (and years on, I still spend my days staring at it and admiring it for its beauty). No right or wrong, i have many friends opting for lab nowadays, but in my community, we've been natural for generations!

[@paigestrahan7972]

You should look a little more into it. There are most certainly wrongs of going natural. Labs are the ethical choice.

My son bought an engagement ring from a very popular famous jeweler. He paid over 10k for the ring. It was a earth natural stone, most of the time, the stone looked very cloudy, and she had to clean it alot. Thats the big advantage of buying lab grown, the stone NEVER gets cloudy!

[@EbonyRivers1]

I was always a natural diamond lover, but I’m thinking about going lab for my upgrade. You can save in cost, and they’re much more sustainable without sacrificing quality.

[@smaceachern1]

Team both lab and natural. I have a natural diamond engagement ring . But want a 20 yr anniversary ring in Lab. I think smaller diamonds on a band are a perfect choice for Lab. If I were picking out an engagement ring today. I would consider Lab. If I wanted slightly bigger carats and had a budget. But no more than 2.5 carats in my opinion. Because larger than 2.5 would draw alot of attention and questions.

[@Yu-rg9pl]

I have natural and love lab grown too. Bought a 1.5 ct ring with simple setting. Just perfect for going to the office! Wont buy bigger than that for wearing to work as it will draw too much attention. ❤

Lab absolutely. More diamond for the money and they're the environmentally friendly option. If anyone hasn't seen what a real working diamond mine looks like and how it destroys the environment, please look at one. It convinced me to go lab grown. At the end of the day, a lab grown diamond IS a diamond and that's what matters most to me vs. destroying part of our fragile planet.

[@mayukhadeepak7798]

the thing is, since lab grown Ds are EXACTLY THE SAME as natural, it really blurs the line between both, now even when i wear my naturals, im like 'oh' there's an exact same replica version at less than 1/3rd the cost, so i dont feel the same exclusivity or premium feeling when i wear my naturals. but that being said, labs are great for more complicated cuts like emerald and radiant, which, in India especially, you dont get easily or at all in natural - so i would definitely go for a mix between natural and labs :)

[@danamoss5705]

Thank you for this! I've been dragging my feet to reach back out to you to initiate a purchase solely because I can't decide between lab and natural. So this helped tons. PLUS thanks for the Amazon tip to help decide the size. How did I never think of that! 😅

If a person is prone to get robbed with a 5ct they’ll be prone to get rob with 5ct lab as well. The robber can’t tell the difference. Wouldn’t jewlery insurance cover for lost jewelry if losing the expensive ring was an issue due to the value vs the fact that they’ll attract robbers alone from carrying a large ring?

[@kcc3985]

This is why i find it funny when people swap out a real for a fake on vacation. Robbers can’t tell the dif so best bet is whether real or fake, don’t wear a big ring if you’re that uncomfy.

I got a real diamond ring and a lab version to wear as a travel ring. I adore my natural diamond but some places are just too scary to wear it. So I pull out my lab grown dupe. If I get robbed, they can have it. A friend asked why I even bothered with an expensive natural diamond ring. It’s because that ring is real just like our love. It’s a psychological and emotional issue. No one needs an engagement ring and diamond wedding band to prove they are committed to each other. But the symbolism is powerful.

I’ve always always stayed away from lab-grown diamonds! My engagement ring is mined diamonds. But now, my dilemma is, I’m in the market for a showstopping diamond bracelet. My ideal style is a tennis horizontal, emerald-cut diamond with 10ct+ bracelet. I love the look of two of those stacked together. But with everything being so expensive now, I am considering going the lab route! I bought a small pair of .5ct lab diamond studs ($90) just to try out if I like LG. To be honest, it’s not bad. So now my horizon has broaden, but I’m still not totally convinced! A bracelet like the one I wanted would still cost anywhere from $3500-4500 (LG). LG is depreciating in value rapidly and I’m afraid one day my LG bracelet will have a value of just the gold material ($500). I also enjoy the sentimental thought of wearing natural diamonds and stones that came from the earth. Should I just wait a few more years until LG diamonds have close no value at all and then buy?

He was going to gift me with a large 2.5-3ct stone (natural) after the wedding but I told him No because it costs 25,000+!!! Since he prefers natural. we're going to add baguette halo to my emerald 1ct stone to make it look like a 2.5-3ct (I couldn't convince him to get me a lab diamond).

All depends on the gem! Online marketplace Is great to see pricing on both. You can try to select a two carat natural diamond & the same spec in lab to see the difference. Just remember not all lab diamonds are grown the same way and a lot of them have secondary tint colors so be sure to work with a professional who has a curation process to help you choose the best one! ❤

Very informative!! Love your videos. I would go lab grown diamonds all the way. More bang for the buck. As it is, my jeweler is no longer in the biz (although I do have another long time jeweler who we bought my engagement setting from, so there's that), so I'm putting away all my diamonds. I've been wearing moissanites and I have no problem telling people what they are when they ask. It's funny because, and get this, they think I'm lying! They said they do not look fake, they look real! I said that's because they are. They're real gemstones, just not diamonds, but they do test as diamonds. I wear large rings and I'm told they look real. I just ordered a lab grown band and a moissanite band. I'm just hoping they sit low because my current favorite ring has a double hidden halo.

[@pennys3100]

Just upgraded for our 10 year from 1.8 cushion to a 4.3 lab radiant, paid literally nothing for it and it’s just amazing with over the top sparkle. Only way I would buy a natural again is if it was an antique old mine cut or something similar, something historically beautiful. We are grappling with what we would like to say to people now… I would like to add that there’s an odd but comforting feeling knowing I could just throw this ring at someone if they tried to steal it. Still expensive enough to insure like any nice jewelry but not tens of thousands

Looking at a warm GH emerald cut Lab stone. I desire an east west solitaire style, semi bezel, with plain band and no side pave/ melee to detract from the main stone. I love the warmer stones. Husband and I looked at a 3 ct natural VS 2 and it was pretty but I balked at 100,000. I wanted something even larger as I have big hands. No way would I spend 100,000 on a stone at a brick and mortar store when I can get a VVS1 gh color and 3.5 to 4.5 ct for under 10 thousand for lab stone online.

Likely, the opposite will happen. Lab diamonds will only get cheaper and cheaper, likely will cost the same as imitation/ costume jewelry, while natural diamonds will only go higher in price. I researched this topic and read reviews of those in the know. Agree with this assessment.

The markup on Lab Grown Diamond is unimaginable. 400%- 500% - 600% and prices are still falling. Of course jewelers want to sell you a LGD. They're buying LGD for about $300/ct Now is the time to be a retail jeweler. In order to not scare away a Natural Diamond buyer, jewelers can only mark the ND up 30%.

People got to understand lab diamonds are real diamonds just produced indoor instead of digging it is made the same way with the same materials

a ROCK is still a ROCK I don't care where it's made if I'm saving thousands. Don't get ripped off by corporate giants selling you a dream. The make billions for a reason.

Can you do a video about lab colored diamonds?💍

[@DiannaRuks]

am I the only one that doesn't like the icy white color diamond?

[@cecilyerker]

Lab grown for new, or an existing vintage or antique ring with old mine cut diamonds for natural. I don’t want to buy new natural diamonds and rip up mountain tops to get them.

Just read an article about lab grown. The majority are produced in India and China using massive amounts of greenhouse gas producing coal fired electricity. Not environmentally friendly in the least!
