Anyone who wants a mined diamond over a lab is essentially saying they want to spend more to get less, while potentially supporting child labor. I can’t get with that.
This is a bit of a stretch. Getting a lab diamond to save money because you don’t want to overspend is one thing. Pretending it’s the defacto morally superior option is another.
People do a lot of things to save. If lab diamonds, moissanite, glass, and/or CZ help people get a look they couldn’t otherwise afford/justify, then I’m all for it. But it’s a look-alike mined natural diamond.
It’s not difficult to find natural conflict-free diamonds.
