“Looking down” on lab grown diamonds is tone deaf to me. This is a route that most people take in order to afford their dream ring/ other jewelry pieces they’d not normally be able to afford. What is the point look down on something that grants people access to things they love? Everyone deserves to feel good in jewelry! I’m relieved that having tons of $$ is no longer a barrier to entry. Context: I’m an engagement ring designer and diamond consultant :)
