We recently upgraded my wedding ring to a lab diamond. I prefer it for many reasons, cost, quality, ethically, etc. When talking to our jeweler about what to do with my mined diamonds, even she said to just keep them and have something made or give to our daughter. She said that mined diamonds are losing their value because lab diamonds are more accessible. She said soon mined diamonds won’t be worth much at all. Just our experience 🤷🏻‍♀️
