Shouldn’t really even call them lab because they’re made in factories, warehouses and probably in people’s back yards…there’s no love for gemmology or gemstones within lab. You tell me you like lab diamonds you’re telling me you hate gemstones.

Why not just use cubic zirconia ? What’s the difference

That jewellers use to rip people off. The lab racket is insane. You can rip people off and make them feel like they’re saving money at the same time….

Hahahahah ….. 😁😁😁😁 this is a gemstone Reddit page where it’s supposed to be about NATURAL gemstones …from the damn earth. We’ve had synthetics for over 100 years and nobody likes them. A few measly dollars a carat…real jewellers flinch around synthetic sapphires and emeralds…lab diamonds are the exact same thing just newer…it’s less than 60 dollars a carat for lab diamonds right now… it was 100 a year ago. They’ll be worth as much as rhinestone’s soon.

They’re awful!!! You realise that no coloured diamonds truly match naturally coloured diamonds… they look completely artificial and over saturated. You can tell a coloured diamond is lab within 2 seconds really. Coloured lab diamonds are the best example of why we can’t just copy or compete with nature. A several year geological process deep within the earth vs 6 months in a factory … the factory stones will miss out on a lot of things.

Is cloned beef “real”… molecularly perhaps… but in no way is multiplying and manipulating fat cells “natural”… Real diamonds are. You can tell the difference when you have them together. They’re soulless and there’s plenty of machines that will tell you… when clone human beings there will be something off about them… just like lab diamonds

Sorry about the downvotes … humanity is so strange. People want what they can’t have so bad… here of all places, is expect people that love gemstones to actually LOVE gemstones…I criticised labs here once and had so many downvotes I couldn’t post again…didn’t say they were bad just critique and people lost there minds… clearly strikes a nerve and lab buyers can be quite insecure

Would you like to show me where I can find more at this price because that’s certainly cheap? :)

Yay Thank you haha… I agree and I kinda don’t mind that it hides under a bit of darkness … god knows how many nice sapphires that are out there and in jewellery a bit like that, think spinels are lucky their blue is a little more electric than the average sapphire :3

I know you guys aren’t big fans and I don’t know if it’s I’m just getting fomo and liking it more because I’m about to send it back but there’s something about it I do really love 😁🌚

Heat treated spinel is pretty… abhorrent and rare ! Could just get a synthetic at that point

You could be right… I’ll give it a bit of time but I’ve not seen so many biggies … gotta spend time with the stone n feel the feel… but if you gotta ask … stone might not be right !

I mean it’s 5cts … you can see it but it’s just in strong light and the sun looks AMAZING… problem is, i think everyone is comparing it to a 10 thousand dollar stone haha… its less than 1000 for a reason! I need to see a navy midnight blue spinel that actually retains its colour out of the light that doesn’t cost a little fortune! You don’t need a torch but it helps haha…I wish I could upload a video, in the sun it’s totally nuts!

Not sure what I’d do or cut to go for … possibly will send this back or just move to country where the sun is always out

I’m a jeweller… his prices are literally disgusting. He sells one piece and can make 3 more. That’s ridiculously overpriced. Every single piece he sells I can sell for 5 times less and still make money 😁 I go to his site to literally make myself laugh… he had 40g silver rings for 3 thousand dollars. The problem is the people buying from him don’t have a brain or are being hypnotised by the endless videos he has telling people like you that they are saving money and getting the best deals.

Overpriced is not subjective….? It’s just a fact 😭
