Natural and lab grown diamond jewelry

[dealmaster]

Look at it like this. U are paying for gold and mark up the “diamonds” themselves have no value.

why do you feel that the “diamonds “ have no value?

They're not fake, just lab grown.

Bec if u try to sell it back to the market they have no value.

have you tried selling a real diamond back on the market? you don't get back that much... so the money saved on lab grown outweighs the lost on the resale value, which IMO in a few years will have similar ratio in  resale value.

If you think diamonds are an investment it's not, only certain items are classified as investment in the diamond and gem industry. Not taking anything away from real diamond but the markup are so high it's like a car, the moment you walk out of that shop you lose 40 percent minimum right off the back. Lab grown diamonds have the exact same chemical composition as. Real diamond and same exact look.

Some questions to ask yourself are, how many people do you really know that would sell their diamond jewelery. It's a fashion statement and yes I understand maybe you don't want your friends to know or someone in your community to know so you may be reluctant. But nonetheless it's your money so you're entitled to do what you want . No one needs to know anything

A friend of mine has worked in diamonds for many years and said that those that resell there jewelry back for a large loss fall for under market value appraisal since they don't actually know what they are in possession of...in actuality Real diamonds don't lose value...what you may have paid extra for besides the diamond and gold is the setting and design which if you are getting a high end designer piece and know that for a fact then if you ever go and sell it the price will hold its value if the designer is current.

The sale of a lab grown is actually that the stone itself costs much less for the designer/manufacture to make and the savings get passed on to you...but in actuality the intrinsic value of the diamond is not there.

Im really curious why people stop and buy lab grown if you can get very very very good cubic zircon. (costume jewelry) these days.

friend of mine, his parents own a well known jewelry store in tristate area. His mom only wears fake jewelry (and everyone assumes its real)

lol its like driving a high end car with a nissan engine, or those people who wear fake Ferragamo belts and shoes. The jokes not on the people who think your wearing the real thing, its on the person wearing it. At the end of the day if your eyeing that huge diamond and you can't afford it...chances are people may think your wearing a fake. As for your friends mother she could do what she wants lol she can honestly wear something for a month clean it and put a ticket on it and sell it to you and me and we wouldn't know.
(She also prob doesn't feel the specialness of a piece of jewelry, it happens when your so exposed to something)

again for me and you who don't own jewelry stores. get educated and when you buy your next piece you will be able to break it down. Cost of gold of item + how many ct (many stores don't put in high quality stones which if you know this fact can help you negotiate a better price) = value and then subtract the value from asking price and you have markup and design!

This is very much back of the envelope math but the more you learn the more you can tweak the equation.

Only because she owns the store.

When i went to china years ago and bought back a fake LV bag for d w. She told me she won't use it because it doesn't match our lifestyle. If however it did, it would have nicely fit into a collection of bags.

While it true with real diamonds once u walk out u are probably loosing 40% but with lab grown u are loosing 90%?
I’m not looking to knock someone trying to sell something I’m only answering Bec someone asked upthread.

[Hampton22]

not sure if you can compare to a fake lv bag, the the material wasnt used the same way.


every think about this way .

an IVF baby, is a fake baby? no they are the same way as a naturally conceived baby.

these diamonds are 100 percent identical to a real diamond composition. one is made in the earth and one is made in a machine.

ivf baby's are fake. That's why they lose their value so fast. 40% after walking out of the hospital...after all that money.....but the truth is the comparison is bad. Diamonds are worth very little as a pretty toy. Thier value is that they are a commodity. If they lose their status as a commodity.....
