So this is a 3.53 carat lab grown HPHT. (more info on that later) F color VVS2 Ideal cut, Excellent polish and symmetry. There is no way anyone can tell this from a diamond mined from the earth, without specialized equipment. So it looks and performs like a natural diamond. So why would someone pay $100,000 for a natural stone like this, if they can get a lab for under $3000. Back to HPHT (High pressure - high temperature) which is the way earth mined diamonds are formed. And both have the same chemical properties. A lot of the push back is from dealers who have a large amount of earth mined inventory. I guess I can't blame them, they don't want losses. But earth mined diamond prices are coming down , as demand increases for lab. Bottom like , people aren't stupid. They work hard for their money. Also, diamonds should never be considered an investment. Try to sell the diamond you bought 20 years ago. Most likely worth less. Unless you invested in rare colored diamonds, they have appreciated significantly. The other type of lab is CVD (chemical vapor deposition) which carbon filled gasses are heated. I prefer HPHT which mimics the natural earth process. For more information on these processes, just google. #diamonds #labgrown #labgrowndiamonds #hpht #cvd #lab #knox #knoxdiamondsandjewelry
