About lab diamond ring

How do you feel about lab diamonds?
I want to buy a lab diamond ring. It's a very common theme right now. What do you think?

  • You'll save money, sometimes a relatively small saving and sometimes a 100%+ saving for the "same "ring . Personally, I do not regard lab diamonds as being real. Part of my collectibles portfolio, separate from my shares, properties etc,   contains diamonds and they are mined diamonds. I suppose if you want to buy one ring and need to save money, you will be attracted by lab diamonds and I see no harm in that.

    Personally, I am a fan of moissanite - much cheaper, nice and hard and sparkly and less environmental, conflict and exploitation concerns than mined diamonds.  But I guess it depends on what you want gemstones for!
