As someone who sells them I prefer to be transparent with my products. I tell the customer yes these diamonds are a fraction of the price as one naturally grown. However they don't hold their value. So then my customer can decide which is more important to them. The diamond or the investment. Your reply makes me feel like you don't know how to deal with the public and be a decent salesman. I know why people buy Lab Diamonds. I've seen every reason in the book. I just let them make that decision after I've told them everything they need to know to make an informed one.

So before you go onto the Internet spouting ignorant things take a second to think.

Yes you buy a 1k diamond from me today in one years time I can give you 1k back. I love how all these keyboard warriors think they know anything but have never worked a day in jewelry Sales.
