Looking at earrings. Wanted sapphires, but can't get what I want with the shut down.

Curious as to the brightness of each.

Well the sapphires aren't available.

Your old lady is buying. You should thank me for being cheap.

What is the difference between a lab created diamond and one found in nature, other than the obvious?

Actually spoke to a gemologist friend about this. As far as diamonds go, so I assume sapphires would be the same, on a molecular level they are the exact same and impossible to tell the difference. The only way to tell this difference is a very expensive piece of equipment that 99% of jewelry shops do not own. I thought about going the lab route but the price difference wasn't large enough for me to do it.

I know they’re significantly less expensive than naturally produced diamonds. I wonder how a jeweler can tell the difference.

Diamonds are actually complete bullshite. I know you can't tell your girl "I didn't get you diamonds because its fricking stupid to spend money on them", but every occasion in which diamonds are expected was completely fabricated by the diamond industry.

In the 1930s, in order to increase sells, they started marketing them as "a girls best friend" and creating this expectation that there are certain times in which diamonds should be given.

So go with what is the cheapest.

When I bought my wife’s engagement ring there was a huge difference. I was able to get something much nicer than I expected. I talked to the salesman and he said there was no difference. Didn’t know if that was just a tactic or what.

Diamonds are forever... The ones created in a lab are yesterday forward.

Actually I can.

I usually buy platinum and sapphires, but they aren't available in my timeline.

The moissonite looks much more fiery than a diamond.

natural diamonds have tiny amounts of nitrogen in them.

so they actually arent the same chemically

You're projecting again.

Not everyone leads your hectic schedule of gobbling.
