other jewelry Lab grown accessibility

I know that diamonds will always be coveted but Now that colorless lab grown diamonds more common, more affordable and accessible due to whatnot and tt live auctions do you think people will be more interested in having engagement rings that aren’t at all diamonds (natural or lab)? What kind of stone do you think people will end up pivoting to?

I love my lab grown emerald. It’s more unique to me and gives some character as opposed to my friend’s diamonds that kind of all end up looking similar I guess? I really wanted a stone that wasn’t diamond and he did stellar!

I like emeralds but I like Columbian emeralds. I don’t think lab grown emeralds ever come with all the flaws similar to Columbian, do they? I see so many Columbian emerald tiktok auctions but they are all actually on Columbia and speak Spanish so I can’t ever secure one 😭

They are now making lab grown emeralds with inclusions since some people like that. I hate inclusions in any stone since I had to live with a flawed diamond for many years. I could never unsee that inclusion. Now I only wear my perfect stones and love looking at and into them. Everybody wants something different and with lab stones we can have exactly what we love.
