Because it’s something women show off precisely as a signal of how much it cost. It has only so much to do with its aesthetic beauty.

- OJFord 3y agoWhat is? The certificate? Because otherwise you wouldn't know. For the same value of 'how much it cost', a lab-grown diamond (we're not talking about other non-diamond synthetics) will look better (clearer, fewer flaws) and/or be bigger. If you want to show it off on your finger, you want lab-grown.
- mortureb 3y agoSure you can just lie about it but most people don’t. This isn’t about when people look at it but for the follow up conversation where you mention “its natural and x carats.”

- OJFord 3y agoI'm not suggesting lying about it, I've just never heard anybody show off their finger and say 'it's natural' and it didn't occur to me anyone would. One can just not do that, and as a bonus, seem more normal.
