Lab grown Diamonds - Thoughts?

[limom]

100% and he would say that I am comparing myself to his ex. First of all, his sister compared me to her very early on, saying how she is clearly prettier than me etc (even though I don't think so). Secondly, it made me feel so not special, especially if he got her the natural ring when they were both students, and now he's working and making decent money. On top of that he knows I'm "bougie" lol and definitely not into lab which in my eyes is a fake ring.

Why on earth are you still entertaining this person?
What is the dealbreaker for you?
Girl, don’t waste your juicy years on this creature. He sounds like an azz

You said “this guy I dated” are you still dating? I hope not! Based on the debate over the ring, how he will only get you lab and you see lab as him saying you’re worth less than the ex, this doesn’t seem like the best foundation to start an engagement or marriage.

nope! I'm too fabulous to be with someone who doesn't see my worth, not to mention his sister is a psycho- don't want to be stuck with that for a loooooong time.

Good! Some posts seemed current tense while the initial post seemed past tense!!!

Hi ladies. 1st post here. What would you say to a person rude enough to ask "Is that a real diamond or is it one of those lab created fakes?" None of your freakin' business is my initial response. But what would be a more polite response?

It’s a real diamond. Of course it’s real.

If you say none of your business they definitely will know its a lab. I would simply state what it is and move on. It seems to me that some owners of lab diamonds get so defensive over being asked.

Real thank you

ETA: if it’s a stranger or a situation where security is an issue, you could happily say, lab ; I have other things to spend on lol

First response: deliberately misunderstand the question as a compliment: “Thank you so much! Isn’t it beautiful?”

If they ask again, subtly point out to them that they don’t need that info: “It was a gift. I can ask where they got it and let you know if you want to buy something similar. What’s your phone number so that I can text you the jeweler’s info once I find out?”

Yup. "It was a gift." No need to clarify if it was a gift to yourself from yourself.

There are just so many people who are not raised right. It is so rude to ask. I will only feel comfortable to ask such a question to my own sister.

With that rude of a question I would simply smile and move on
