I'm curious what other people think about these lab created stones? Chemically they're the same as natural stones, with superior color and clarity.

Do you care if your gemstones come from nature or science?

Unless the person that you are giving them to is a professional...

They will never know the difference.

actually, some stones are so rare in the most pure color and clarity, that if you give someone a too perfect stone, they might question it.

My deal is that I wouldn't care, I'd be happy that whomever purchased it for me didn't spend a fortune on a piece of jewelry... but you talk to some people and they're appalled that anyone would wear lab created.

All depends on whether you value them for their beauty or their rarity.

This thread begs the question: do the "women" of ACF use a funnel to get that much sand in their vagina or do they just slide around the beach like an angry Roomba? -deadcactus-

Now that I've covered wedding crap, I don't care much about gemstones unless I prospect them myself.


For someone that isn't in to geology, I don't see why lab created versus prospected is a big deal. Semi-precious especially are way to common for it to make a difference.

I like my lab-created stones. Like Rho said, unless you are valuing the gem for its rarity, who cares?

Unless a fake-diamond turns into a turd 5 years after you make it who cares if it came from a lab or if it came from some slave camp in Africa
