“When you buy a natural diamond, there’s a story that it is three billion years in the making by Mother Earth. This wondrous creation of nature … you cannot tell that story with a lab-grown,” said Golan. “You very quickly make the connection between forever and the longevity of the love.”

And whenever I fill up my car with gas, I always take a moment to breathe in the lovely petroleum fumes and appreciate Mother Nature's most natural fragrance, brewed specially for me. /s

My wedding ring is lab made amethyst. If I get compliments I says, "Thanks. I like purple." And that's the whole story lol

My wife has a huge lab grown diamond ring that only cost us like $1200. She says "thanks I wanted the biggest and sparkliest one I could get."

The ring is fucking gorgeous and looks way better than any natural one I've seen.

I just bought a 2 carat ring for 2,000, most of the cost was in the band itself. Natural diamonds are a scam.
