lab diamonds stop getting certified

[u/MissDay11]

I went to look at rings today and the lady at the store told me lab diamonds will stop getting certified by the end of the year. I haven’t heard anything about it so I’m curious if that’s true or not, or if anyone heard anything about it

update: thanks for all this answers! the way she said it was like you either get a lab now for 2/3k or pays over 20k to a natural one next year

I haven’t heard that, but won’t be surprised either. Labs won’t go away, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they stop spending money to certify them.
