Ive done some research on these and find this very interesting. so these are real diamonds, but made in a lab under the same conditions a mined diamond is made, but super fast, right? i am considering getting a 1.5 carat one to “upgrade” my current engagement ring of .76 tcw mined diamond. it appears to be quite a stunning ring. do you own one or have seen one? can you tell me what you think about these?
no i dont mean cz

I am going to buy my mom a really nice gift for Mother’s Day. I noticed a discription of a necklace saying “lab created?” Does this mean that it is not real? The price of the necklace is $375. But there are diamonds on it too.

I’ve a 14KT gold ring with what looks like garnets and diamonds in it. It is Art Deco and was given to my grandmother as an engagement ring in 1927. In a loupe I can see air bubbles in the red stones. Does this mean they are synthetic?
Well you all certainly disagree! The Antiques Roadshow is coming to town next month, and I will definately take it in to see what the experts say. Thanks!

Seems diamonds manufactured are not as hard as the ones produced by evolution. Can gold be scientifically produced and what are it’s contents?
