My wife’s engagement ring is an emerald, I don’t think it was lab grown but it was way cheaper then a diamond and looks easy better then a piece of “glass”
I wonder if there’s anyone interested creating lab diamonds that have imperfections that essentially become indistinguishable from the mined ones. There wouldn’t be any money in it, but they could theoretically crash the blood diamond market.
Lab grown emeralds are a couple hundred bucks and are way prettier than diamonds.
Moissanite is an excellent diamond alternative if you want a clear stone. Cheaper, just as resilient, and sparkly as fuck.
Yup, it’s even what they use in their displays because they sparkle more than a diamond.
No I’m pretty sure that’s just so if there’s a robbery they aren’t stealing the good stuff.

My friend works with lab grown crystals and there re ones like lutetium aluminium garnet doped with cerium (LuAG:Ce) and similar which look awesome

I just looked them up, they’re almost like kryptonite, or TV Uranium. That’s so cool
