Anonymous Coward User ID: 77137727 United States 02/17/2019 10:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm geologist and gem collector so I knew what I was doing When De Beers shocked the industry with its U-turn in May, a 1 carat synthetic diamond cost about $4,200 while an equivalent mined gem sold for $6,000. But since September, De Beers has been selling gem-quality man-made stones for just $800 a carat. Rooters 23 carat * 800 dollars =18400 dollars :) shit ton of money even for lab created geologists are not exactly know for their high IQ. and the idea that you paid $15 for something worth thousands, sort of reinforces that concept! looks like your out 15 big ones |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 17812883 United States 02/17/2019 11:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Personally since the DeBeers GROWN stones have all the same properties as real diamonds, including brilliance color etc. I would never again buy a REAL stone. Obviously DeBeers believes the REAL stone business is on it's last legs now that gemstone quality stones can be MANUFACTURERED so they are going into the gemstone "manufacturing" business since their original business is about to disappear. fwiw other diamond "manufacturers" are not all marking their stones as "manufactured" unlike DeBeers ... so even if you THINK you are buying a REAL mined diamond the reality is that you MAY be buying a "manufactured" one since jewelers and appraisers can not tell the difference. |

(((Debeers))) controls so much of the supply chain that it doesn’t matter anymore. Anyone caught selling non debeers gems gets blackballed. Any (((merchants )))) that don’t buy the crap debeers offers the. Gets cut out for future business. It’s a bullshit system that has wrecked countries and killed millions in its path. I’d be thrilled to see alibaba and other chink Chong internet businesses kill debeers. Then, when the perpetrators are left powerless, make them pay for their crimes and the crimes of their forefathers. Gary Numale |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77384398 Netherlands 02/18/2019 01:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not zirconia lab grown diamonds Lab created diamonds, also known as engineered or cultured diamonds, are grown in highly controlled laboratory environments using advanced technological processes that duplicate the conditions under which diamonds naturally develop when they form in the mantle, beneath the Earth’s crust. These man-made diamonds consist of actual carbon atoms arranged in the characteristic diamond crystal structure. Since they are made of the same material as natural diamonds, they exhibit the same optical and chemical properties. [link to www.brilliantearth.com (secure)] If they are they exact same, why not sell at the same price as natural diamonds? Because women don't value gemstones unless some poor bastard had to lose his life in the process of digging it up in the Congo somewhere. that's BS if you know a woman like that, don't get involved with her when I found out about blood diamonds, felt extremely guilty for the diamonds in my wedding rings the diamond ring i wear now (not married anymore) is lab created and was pretty expensive when purchased (not that i care his little or how much it cost), it has colored diamonds, yellow in the middle and pink and blue on each side if the middle yellow diamond would never want a real diamond from the ground, even if they weren't blood / conflict diamonds, when it can be created in a lab without harm to people, the earth, the environment |

(it's commonly called Moissanite) the Cubic Zirconia is a different stone, it's hardness is only 8 and it has more dispersion than a diamond. i think cubic zirconia is a nicer stone. it's about $30 per carat. |
