I agree with this, just cause a stone is clear and sparkly does not mean it's trying to be a diamond, diamonds don't hold a copyright on being sparkly and clear.  There are diamonds, lab made diamonds, moissanite, zircon, cubic zirconia, white sapphire, white topaz, herkimer diamond, quartz and crystal, all of these stones look sparkly and clear some are man made some are naturally occuring.  Moissanite does out perform diamonds on many levels except hardness.  When AAAAA CZ's look better than most peoples real diamonds what really is the point..  I think the point is to be sparkly and clear.  Another ridiculous aspect of diamonds is that the more pure, clear, and without inclusions a stone is, the higher its value yet due to lab made diamonds which are atomically identical to natural diamonds (note lab made diamonds arent CZ's they are real diamonds made of carbon by man) they protect the value of a real diamond by laser inscribing a serial on the girdle of the stone technically defacing it's pureness...  Some lab made diamonds are purposefully made with inclusions so they can be passed off as real.  Lab made diamonds will pass a lot of diamond testers too, you need a fluorescence tester to find a lab made stone, so there is a chance that many guys are rocking bust down Cubans with lab made diamonds in them.  The highest quality of lab made diamonds are type IIa which are so pure lacking any impurities such as nitrogen, less than 2% of naturally made diamonds can match their purity.  All that being said, what's so special about diamonds other than the price cause they aren't all that rare, and as far as looks go Moissanite is flashier... but if you still want a diamond, a lab made one can save you some money look up Gemesis. Diamonds are all marketing

TLDR diamonds are kinda meh...

LMAO. OK.  Im stick with this 1.5 ct lasers stud set up and yall can have that fufu. I bet if you have that garbage on and someone asks you if its real, your not going to say its real mossinite or a real lab diamond.  Neither are natually occuring......

Mossanite is flashier and lab made is cheaper.  Cheaper than what?  Flashier than what?

Thats all you had to say.  Point made.

Question. So this is enamel on these gold medals ? Do most jewelers do it ? Does it have to be a jeweler who does it ? 

Enamel for the less expensive ones.  Blue lapis for the more expensive ones.

Nah you right, that joint he gave Cole was definitely heftier

I tell everyone about moissanite, cuz 9/10 times they never heard of it.

And moissanite IS naturally occurring.. Its called silicon carbide.

Abd lab made diamonds are indistinguishable from mined diamonds.

We in 2016 b, you can turn dead people into precious stones now

I noticed da second khaled put it on..his roc piece didn't have its usual dominant presence, which was weird since it was on a skinny chain..then realized it was a smaller piece.

Ninja.... 

Point me where to get some moissonites at.... 

This whole diamond talk, we've gone through it. It's a worthless stone marketed to us idiots as something valuable. When I got my wifes engagement ring, a certain "certfied store" in the seybold building was charging me 7k for just the stone and another 2500 for the setting. I shopped around and bought a used stone, got it checked out and it was ALMOST similar to the one i was gonna buy for 7k.... I ended up paying 2k for it and another 2k for the setting. The same jeweler who sold me the 2k stone (1 ct. exactly) wanted to sell me a 2 ct. tear drop diamond for the same price but i refused b/c I only like round diamonds. Reason being why it was so cheap is bc this guy isn't in the diamond business... he's in the ring setting business but comes up on stones from time to time and sells them quick. 

Had I had to do it differently, I would've gotten her a moissonite instead. 

My wifes ring appraised at 5k but a jeweler told me straight up I couldn't get no more than 2500 for the 4k I spent on it. 

at the end of the day its all preference on what you believe in and what you want.

At least the diamond you bought has resell value, a moissanite has no resell value

If resell value is you guys knock against buying diamonds than buying a moissanite makes even less cent$

A jacob jesus is a baller piece of Jewelry.  Oxymoron to be rocking Moissonites with a $20-$30k chain on.  Wack to me, cool to you.  Im good with that.    

 

[antonio198622]

Make no mistake about it, you're losing WAAY more money on da reselling of your diamonds then buyin and sellin da exact same sized moissanite stone.

Take a idk, 1 karat total weight set of diamond studs..we'll use VS1 since that moissanite rates on comparison.

Let's say you drop 2k on a pair...you wont see 3/4th of that if u try to sell em.

Had u bought a 1 karat total weight moissanite set of studs da price u initially spend on em, even if u dont make a red cent on da resell (which is impossible) is STILL less money then da whole diamond transaction

 

[antonio198622]

I see ninjahood point more flash Less cash. And that's all good. But bro why would u wanna sell your Jesus piece u saved for for like 10 years ? You wouldn't that Jesus piece you own is special

 

[cabased]

Diamonds are a rip off but they are special because they are mined from the earth. Lab made just isn't sexy.

 

[robsheedwallace]

Something about yellow with all white diamonds. Got me rethinking my Jesus

 

[kiefurban]

nevermind I found it

Would you consider getting your piece dipped? I'm not sure how it works exactly but probably a cheap alternative

Who said im selling my piece?

And when it comes to da jacob mold, in particular, that extra intrinsic value means it has a built in floor of value.

Lmao ya only piece id be mad at is her 10.8.13 piece other then that I don't care

would it be alright if I copped a sterling silver jesus piece?

 

[cerebralarrow]

Why do lab created diamonds cost way more than real diamonds ?

If thats what you like, and can afford, don't worry about what other people think.

If it's straight silver why not, Everyone wanna act like Silver isn't a precious noble metal.  Just wait till silver spot price rises into the hundreds and maybe even thousands per ounce then everyone gonna be bragging about their silver... watch, but by that time the price will be out of reach for a lot of people.  Now is a great time for silver!

 

[frank mucus]

They don't. A 1ct lab diamond is like 2k but will have better clarity than a 1ct mined diamond which is going to be like $3k. Don't quote me on prices though.

And by that time all of us with gold will be bragging about our $100k chains
