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!

Women would you be mad if your engagement ring was a man made diamond?

NOT a CZ!!! It is the same exact material keep in mind….

They have the same clarity, color, cut, reflective ability, weight, and durability. They are NOT similar to other diamonds. They ARE diamonds! Its just that one is grown underground and one is grown in a lab (now that we have the technology). The ONLY way to tell is for a jeweler to use an eyepiece to see the engraving. So ladies out there, would you mind?

Hi everyone. I have a ring that I found under a stove in a repo’d house we bought. I need to find out how many grams this ring weighs and approx size of diamonds. Ring weighs .2oz (very light) but I need that figure in grams. Beautiful ring with synthetic star saphire 14K. Also has WH stamped inside as well, does that mean white gold? I was told it looks like brushed white gold setting. Also, inside of ring measures 20mm, does anyone know what size that would be. I’ll include pics if I can get them on here or a link to them at photobucket. I am not a jewelry buff by any means, as you can probably tell, however I would like to auction this on eBay & would like to get the description as accurate as possible. http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa278/bhelton1/ringfront.jpg http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa278/bhelton1/ring1.jpg http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa278/bhelton1/ring2.jpg
I appreciate all the info you can give. Thanks much :) Btw it’s .2 oz not 2 oz. Thanks again for all the info you can give.
