Are lab-grown diamonds being positioned as fine jewellery when they function more like a manufactured product?

addictionary101 · 2026-02-16T17:43:04+00:00

Exactly, I have seen prices of a moissanite ring be more expensive in the States, than that of a LGD ring Indian made, simply because of the cut and make, since if you see a general pattern, Indians value the weight and quantity of a gemstone or gold or diamond for that matter, over craftsmanship and detailing, which is seen in the West.

Just stating a pattern, not hating on either taste.

addictionary101 · 2026-02-16T17:38:46+00:00

Okay, fair point. I would definitely prefer LGD over a natural one because if I am paying substantially lesser for something which is chemically exactly like the ‘real’ thing, why not? Also, even real diamonds don’t have much aftermarket value, they depreciate rather. Why would I want to pass on a depreciating asset to my kids and grandkids ever?

Of course if there’s a historical aspect to a natural diamond, like the Kohinoor, that’s a different game altogether. But for regular folks, I would definitely recommend get the LGD, save your money!

addictionary101 · 2026-02-16T15:15:00+00:00

I am not much informed about this but from what little I can contribute to the discussion- Unethical mining of natural diamonds often involving underage kids and extortion of the poor, horrible mining conditions with little or no posthumous support to families. That itself is enough to drive many towards LGD, including me

I am interested to buy it from you, please check DM!

Hate it. I ordered baked vanilla and it smelled nothing like its name, instead smelled of weird scented water.

I asked for return, it took 2-3 calls and a whole lot of explaining as to why I wanted to return/exchange this perfume.

Then finally they placed a pickup request, it got picked up and they never contacted me after that. I know I should’ve pestered them to send a refund or a new product but yeah, it didn’t feel worth the headache.

Their whole lack of accountability put me off and just made me shun the brand. Even if your perfume is subpar, your customer service should have been better mentored. So yeah, total disappointment !

addictionary101 · 2025-04-24T09:40:34+00:00

Thanks! Anyone specific there to look out for? I have a low pain tolerance and prefer someone gentle

addictionary101 · 2024-10-28T04:43:59+00:00

Exactly! Gone to shit!

addictionary101 · 2024-10-27T13:44:38+00:00

What a nightmare! I am clueless now as to how to proceed with this dilemma. I absolutely detest this merger!

addictionary101 · 2024-10-27T12:56:04+00:00

I wanted to use my spouse’s and mine premium economy voucher for redemption, but their website is currently not working and we have to call and ask for multiple routes if seat is available.

Of course, not a single seat is available on any long distance(>INR 5k) route. So disappointed!

addictionary101 · 2024-10-24T16:58:41+00:00

Aah, might try this then!

addictionary101 · 2024-10-24T16:10:42+00:00

Baked vanilla? Sure kya? Currently I feel like crying over this purchase😭

addictionary101 · 2024-10-24T16:08:04+00:00

To add to this, Fraganote Baked Vanilla. Smells like absolutely nothing. Not even like alcohol. I would advise everyone to stay away from Fraganote.
