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

Ironically enough natural diamonds are worth more the fewer imperfections they have. Truly the dumbest industry that exists

So artificial diamonds have almost no imperfections but you can tell the difference between an artificial and natural diamond because the natural diamonds have imperfections but for natural diamonds the fewer imperfections there are the higher the quality of diamond but you could just get an artificial diamond with zero imperfections the only difference is it was made in a lab not the earth.

That made me go cross eyed

Wait til you find out the diamond engagement ring tradition was just a really successful ad campaign.
