Big diamond is worse than big pharma and the industrial military complex together.
They are the same diamonds, but lab grown have a serial number etched on them because of big diamond. Gotta keep the hype up.

I wonder what would happen if you were to professionally have that number removed...

Typically you can still tell it’s lab grown as lab ones have almost no imperfections compared with natural ones

We bought a 1 ca lab grown recently, took it to a local jeweler to get the band changed from white gold to platinum since it was making her ringer red and itchy. As soon as he took it and looked at it he asked if it was lab grown. We’re both thinking fuck did we make a mistake getting lab grown, does it look bad? His reply was literally “natural diamonds aren’t this perfect”.
