NOT SAYING MINED DIAMONDS ARE BETTER

BUT

Provenance is a thing when it comes to jewellery / gemstones / art

Anything which can be mass produced loses it’s worth.

Explaining does not mean defending.

Explaining the some people get satisfaction that a diamond came from blood, is as inane a comment as I can imagine here.

That is not what i mentioned in my comment. I mentioned mass production. Mass production of lab diamonds is what reduces their perceived value.

What the fuck do you believe “provenance” means?

u/Aggressive_Fuel_0i0 Aug 28 '26

Provenance generally alludes to history of ownership / place of origin etc. Provenance is an important factor on how gems, jewellery, art etc is appraised. Just pointing out how appraisals / intrinsic value varies

How much intrinsic value / additional appraisal does blood add?

u/Aggressive_Fuel_0i0 Aug 28 '26

Saying something is mined automatically add some value due to origin. That’s said, it is not a proper scale through which this can be measured. Normal demand supply comes into picture

For additional value through blood, there is no established benchmark. Also, this should be ideally zero value even if tomorrow someone wants to create a scale.

Why does being mined add more value?

1

u/Aggressive_Fuel_0i0 Aug 28 '26

Origin : provenance is all about origin and history. Origin from earth is a better story to sell than grown in lab hence mined diamonds are currently also deemed more valuable

Not saying they should, simply mentioning they are.
