As far as diamonds go, conventionally mined stones are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Bought Mrs. V_TWIN a lab grown for her birthday recently......unless your a jeweler you can’t tell the difference......and the price was literally half as much.

DeBeers, the big diamond brokers were trying to keep them off the market for jewelry but I guess they failed..........

Slightly flawed diamonds are actually becoming more valuable because they are “real”.
