i’ve been looking and i have found some beautiful rings that are lab created on a 14k gold band. I just recently watched blood diamond and it made me change my mind on wanting the real diamond ring that i already have (which i have had a lot of problems with int he past) anyways does anyone know the pros and cons of the lab created diamonds??
i know it isn’t typical to recieve a “blood diamond” but just the actual thought that people really died over diamonds.. and i feel even though it may not be MY diamond… it was someone elses..and thats just sick and makes me sad!

honestly, there are enough diamonds in mines that could be taken out that would flood the market & make diamonds absolutely worthless - & there would still be plenty left over.
the whole blood diamond thing, while it may be true in SOME cases & in SOME parts of the world, isn’t actually that common. they have what they need. =)
either way, it’s easier on the environment if you get a lab created diamond.
i dont know what a blood diamond is, but im guessing a lab created diamond would be less expensive then a real diamond, so i would go with the lab created diamond just in case it gets stolen, lost, etc.
Get what you feel comfortable with. Keep in mind that selling blood diamonds is illegal. Stores are not willing to risk their business in selling blood diamonds. If you are still concerned and want a real diamond as opposed to a lab created, get a diamond that is certified by AGS or GIA.
The biggest con is that it’s synthetic. It will never go up in value and you will have nothing to pass on to your kids. Jewelry is all about owning heirloom pieces that will stay in the family forever.
