I’m interested in the differences in terms of cost, durability, looks, and value. Also if you have any information about “green” (environmentally friendly) diamonds, it would be greatly appreciated.

I purchased on Ebay what was described as a lavendar lab created diamond ring. The ring was lavendar when I got it just a few months ago. When I looked at the ring just the other night it was completely clear. It somehow lost it’s color. What made that happen?

I love wordplay, but actually am kinda’ curious on this one. If you don’t already know, any organic matter can be processed into synthetic diamonds - some folks even have their deceased loved ones preserved in that manner. So if x = number of average-sized carrots processed into a synthetic diamond, solve for “x” in this equation:

x carrots = 1 carat

Curious. :-)
