Maybe I’m just justifying being a cheap arse but from I’ve read, lab created is a better product for a much better price
Yeah, and they can 3D print me a wagyu steak in a lab. I’ll stick with the natural one

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I don’t plan on eating this diamond.

Do you use a synthetic motor oil?

Not a fan of them whatsoever. Went to purchase an engagement ring and shopped around a good bit. They tried to rip me off the most out of all the places I went to.

Not saying I’m an expert by any means but I really studied diamonds before purchasing… cuts, clarity, etc.

They were a rip off and I got a much better deal elsewhere.

That lab costs them ~$100/carat. They are pushing you there because of the margins.

Go see Gino Chirico.

He custom made my wife’s wedding band to match her engagement ring. He’s a wizard

Patrick’s in Saint Francisville


This, many people I know take the drive up. Ask for John or Johnny. I had a few friends bring up old jewelry, exchanged for cash, jewelry or work being done. Gold prices are up. Great people.

Also, go across the street for some great food. Get the Marinaded Crab Claws!

So are lab diamonds cheaper? A lot cheaper? I would think so since they are not a natural resource. Jewelry is a scam.

Good to know. I don’t know shite about diamond/jewelry and I don’t want to be an easy mark.

Where did you end up buying from?

Yes, lab created are about half the price of natural.

My girl was with me when we’re browsing so she’s fully aware and she agrees that lab diamonds are the best option for us. It’s a no brainer for me.

James Allen online. They have GIA reports for all their diamonds and I will absolutely use them again in the future. Learn the 5 C’s of diamonds baw.

Cut, clarity, color, carat, certification.

Not much help here, but Art Decesare owned Southern Crafts near Sherwood before he passed away.

Got a lot of work done there, always a great guy.
