The truth about diamonds #exposed

Meanwhile the "worse" lab diamonds
_has less imperfections than natural diamonds_

[Jade_goes_crazy]

Yup! My engagement ring cost $130. It has a .70 carat lab diamond. It’s gorgeous and no one can tell the difference.

Organically handsourced is just a nice way of saying they have slaves do it😂😭😭

[ItsChapa_]

The only way people can tell if it’s a lab grown is cause it’s perfect where as natural ones have imerfections, so you pay more for something arguably worse

My favorite stone has always been a Ruby or and Emerald. Sapphires are also nice but blues not my favorite. Diamonds were just so basic. When my aunt got married I remembered her getting proposed to with an Emerald ring and explaining basically how the Diamond Market was as artificial as most of them are I laughed my head off 😂

I LITERALLY just had this argument with my brother yesterday as he was cleaning his diamond jewelry. No one believes me.

[yunggloboxing]

I always said that! Get those lab diamonds 🤝🏽

[noahtackett]

This is why I actually want rare gemstones for my fiancee. Not only are they less expensive but also a lot rarer and more frequently beautiful compared to diamonds

It's definitely a shady business. I went to a diamond broker to get my wife some princess cut diamond earings & after the owner locked the prison grade door behind me, we went in his office & he had literally a whole wall of shelves with tiny drawers like i have in my garage for nuts & bolts. Then he pulled one out & dumped it on a terry cloth on his desk & with a monacle, proceeded to pick out 2 diamonds that looked & weighed the most similar. Then we agreed & he set them in studs. It was about $1500 back in the early 2000's. He had so many diamonds in that vault it was like looking at bags of ice outside the gas station. But the same earings at Zale's would have been like $5k. Not to stereotype but he wore a yamaka.

Not even Superman can tell the difference 🤣🤣

He's right. Debeer's created "consumerism". And you fell for it trying to impress your neighbors
🤣🤣🤣

[Butterqueen]

Diamonds aren't even exclusive to earth, unlike pearls or amber.

[Slavicplayer]

debeers only have 30% market share these days but it’s in the industries interest to keep the price high

[FredFox]

....But a lot of the cost for the diamond also depends on the cut...Ive seen lab diamonds that are hella expensive because of how well they're cut.

[DrKosmos]

Soup Emporium has an excellent video about diamonds. But TL;DR Debeers is no longer to powerhouse it was, mines are drying up, and marketing is shifting to upcoming Indian and Chinese Middle and upper class.

Industrial grade diamonds are cheap, but a consumers don't accept industrial grade.

[stonemeep]

Debeers hasn't had 80% market share for quite some time. Diamonds actually are starting to get rarer but they are still quite common if you know where to look. Please look into this more instead recreating the same video idea that so many others have already done.

[unshifted]

Actually I think technically lab grown diamond tend to be a cleaner diamond

[BluAru]

You want a rare, expensive gemstone? Go with Alexandrite. That crap's crazy rare and even more expensive than diamonds. It's like 15k a carat or something wild like that.

Personally, I'd like to get the low-quality amethyst my grandma gave me when I was younger into a ring, I think that'd be my ideal ring.

[thecatisinpubg]

Reminds me of the she sells sea shells

[jellybeanboy]

Got an lab grown diamond for $40 with the ring, sterling silver, so i basically just oaid for the silver
