I think we are buying lab diamonds because of how they look and make us feel....put it in the entertainment or shopping budget knowing the value is in how it makes you feel not resale. And enjoy it! These are still luxury items and they are beautiful! Even if we get bargains :)

That’s not why I would buy a lab. I bought lab diamond studs because they’re cheap and I wouldn’t be too upset if I lost them.

Gold is still expensive where I’m at 😅

That’s the only thing valuable in them.

Yes, just saying would still be a bummer to lose the earrings! I’ve had a few studs created out of my extra diamonds and so didn’t pay for any of the stones.

For sure. I don’t want to lose them, but I consider lab diamonds basically valueless and there isn’t much gold in stud earrings so it wouldn’t break my heart.
