Some feel that lab grown diamonds are inappropriate to use in an engagement ring because they’re “cheap.” Others say that a diamond is a diamond, whether it comes from the ground or a laboratory. Another view is that lab grown diamonds are preferred to natural diamonds for ethical and environmental reasons, often coining the term sustainable diamonds. But there are a lot of questions about the truth of this statement.
But are they worth anything?
As with anything, a lab grown diamond is worth as much as someone is willing to pay, which is significantly less than natural diamonds. Who’s to say this may not change in time, there is no way of knowing for certain.
