Should I Buy a Lab Created Diamond?

Are you about to buy an engagement ring but can't decide which gemstone to go for? You may have many questions going through your mind right now. If one of them includes - should I buy a lab created diamond? Keep reading! 😊

Now I am assuming that you already know what a lab diamond is. However, even if you don’t, what am I here for? I got your back, bro. Lab diamonds are made by scientists in a lab! They have many other names that you may have heard from other people - "engineered diamonds", "synthetic diamonds", "man made diamonds" and much more. You can have a clear idea by these different names that people have many conflicting opinions on them. However, you should never let anyone's opinion come in the way! 🙅

Why lab created diamonds? 

There are many benefits of getting lab created diamonds! 

First and foremost - they are environmental friendly. If your girl works for this cause or is a part of any type of campaign which promotes sustainability and taking care of your environment, these gemstones are a great choice! 😊 She will love the fact that you were this thoughtful and give importance to her believes! That's a thumbs up. 👍 

Secondly- Another benefit includes the fact that you can fully track down the origin of lab created diamonds. You will be able to make sure that your diamond didn't support child labor or any wars. It can be very satisfying to know that the gem you're using is conflict free. 😊 

Lastly, not that this matter, but the monetary factor is also there. Now, here again you have to weigh the options. Does she value sentimental value more over monetary value or vice Versa? Or does she vouches for both of these together? That’s something you usually get to know about a person over time!  

What are some of the cons that you may need to know? 

Since, lab created diamonds are not as durable as real diamonds. Expect them to lose their quality few years down the line.Many people tend to not understand what a lab grown diamond really is so they end up saying stuff like it's a "fake diamond" etc. 😔 A real diamond is worth a lot of money due to it's rareness. However, lab diamonds can be made whenever requested so they don't have that "one-of-a-kind" magic factor. ✌️

Honestly, at the end of the day, this is a matter between you and your spouse. No one's opinions or any facts should come in the way. This type of gemstone will work well for a woman who is an activist and likes to think about the society. Even though, whether it's a real or a synthetic diamond, there are many pros and cons on the society from the production of them both. However, we can choose to agree that a synthetic or lab created diamond is a little better for our environment. Just remember that you know your girl the best and what she believes and talks about. So, you got it! 😊
