Discussion: Would you accept a lab created diamond?

[Candice0985]

lab diamonds or mined diamonds......they are all carbons. I don't mind either one. The marriage with a diamond ring has been hyped up by the big jewellers like tiffany, de beers, etc.

A lasting and happy marriage is priceless, anything else, it comes with a tag!

As I recently posted here http://forum.purseblog.com/the-jewe...this-engagement-ring-613909.html#post16201034 I'd accept a tin ring from a coca cola can from my darling husband. Diamonds are just pieces of charcoal compared to true love!

^^this! No diamond compares to finding the true love of your life

Lab (synthetic diamond) is fine, and so is quality cz (simulant) for me. I've been married a long time, and whether diamond or not, is not as important to me as they might have been when I was in my twenties and thirties.

If I could not afford a real diamond, then I would opt for a gemstone. Sapphires make great e-rings, and they are the traditional stones in Europe.

agreed!

I'd take a lab created diamond over a blood diamond any day.

I would not mind at all if I was going the diamond route (I think I'd prefer a colored stone). I think I'd like moissanite instead of a diamond anyway, unless a fantastic antique diamond crossed my path for an engagement ring.
