My wife and others are concerned about the mining process to the environment as well as the global market that causes conflict diamonds to be mined.
Moissanite is not fake - it’s a different stone that usually is lab grown.
Lab diamonds are not fake - they are the same as earth, natural diamonds. If certain impurities are grown into stone in lab - they are indistinguishable. It is about marketing that forces labs to laser scribe so that “natural” stone market is not upended.
Many of the younger generation are selecting other color gemstones, as the natural diamond marketing does not seem to sway those generations.
Many well informed, very involved jewelry aficionados do not prefer earth diamonds.
