Scientists have used a new technique to synthesize diamonds at normal, atmospheric pressure and without a starter gem, which could make the precious gemstones easier to grow in the lab.
Folks like de beers hoard diamonds and jack up prices to make folks think they are more rare that what they really are. We gotta stop the cycle and buy lab grown or use an entirely different stone all together. Diamonds are for basic bitches anyhow
I got my wife a antique sapphire ring to replace the engagement ring that was stolen in a burglary. When the sun hits that jem, it’s like staring into the deepest clear ocean. I was in the Navy and remember when we were coming to port in Honolulu. The water was the bluest blue I’d ever seen. Old sapphire gives me the same feels
Recommend looking into moissanite also if you like diamonds but don’t want to support the industry. Very similar looking, better in some ways. And because it hardly occurs naturally at all, you can only buy synthetic.

Vintage sapphire is where it’s at. Nothing comes close to the magic blue of untreated sapphire.
Wow, you werent kidding. What a pretty stone.

I think quartz looks nice.
