@dialecticdreams @interesting_aIl Natural diamonds are rare too. That's exactly why they still hold a different place for so many people.
English
@gaaby240 @interesting_aIl then buy a natural gemstone that is actually rare instead of a diamond.

China is producing so many artificial diamonds that prices dropped by 90% since 2020, causing De Beers to permanently stop producing synthetic diamonds
English
@Sihle175958 Nobody's saying illegal mining doesn't exist. The point is that not every natural diamond comes from those operations.
English
Watch De Beers go on a generational campaign trying to convince us blood diamonds are somehow still more special lmao

@isaiathefemboy @red_blush_x "Uses water" isn't really the mic-drop you think it is. Every supply chain has trade-offs, and lab-grown diamonds still require energy-intensive manufacturing and industrial production.
English
@gaaby240 @red_blush_x You can compare them because one is made better than the other, and one cost us drinking water

I don't understand how AI artists are able to scam people with $200+ commissions while real artists struggle to get even one?? Like am I missing something here??

@Garfieldisdoc Calling a luxury purchase "money laundering" is certainly... a take
English
friendly reminder diamond rings are a waste of money and are not rare. they've just been marketed as a symbol of love depending on the size of the stone. its a fucking rock.

Got a kidney stone brewing rn that’s bigger than whatever this shit is

@imtweakingoutrn @jellyboytoy It would also hit countries like Botswana, where natural diamonds fund jobs, schools and healthcare. It's a bit more complicated than that.
English
@gaaby240 @jellyboytoy Still part of a overall unethical trade. If demand for diamonds decreases then they whole chain regardless will take a hit
English
Even putting the blood diamong thing aside, making the concept of luxury goods go extinct altogether is a spiritual victory for humankind.

@stanningcarys Because for a lot of people it's not the same product. That's the part you keep skipping. 🤷♀️
English
@gaaby240 it is literally a real diamond though. like it’s not a natural diamond but why on earth would you want a questionably ethical diamond that costs $10k over the same one from a lab that costs like $500
English
I’m petty so I need to correct this wording but they are SYNTHETIC DIAMONDS (real diamonds produced in a lab in similar circumstances to how diamonds form in nature, just rapidly and very controlled), not ARTIFICIAL DIAMONDS (which would be an imitation, which they are NOT)

@1CoreConscious @interesting_aIl tbf ethically sourced natural diamonds exist across a wide range of budgets.
English
@gaaby240 @interesting_aIl Not everyone is rich enough for some ethical diamonds. Just buy lab made
English
@andronauts If they were objectively better this debate would've been over by now. Just sayin

@bsindia @akshita_singh_ Makes sense tbh. One is about accessibility, the other is about rarity and natural origin.
English
As lab-grown diamonds become more common, the industry is splitting into two markets: one built on rarity and natural origin, the other on scale, lower prices and affordability.

@LilStickyRicky Better for who? Someone chasing affordability might agree. Someone who values rarity probably won't.

Synthetic diamonds are a million times better than natural ones

@firydeth @HistoryBro1 Can't really affect supply if it's... you know... on Jupiter 😂
English
@HistoryBro1 That would really depress the value of natural diamonds.
English
Synthetic and natural diamonds are now indistinguishable. That big natural diamond in your ear is now worthless. De Beer is about to throw in the towel.
English
@Iamsamirarora Same reason people still buy original art instead of prints. For some people, where it comes from matters.
English
More I think of it more I am convinced that diamonds have been totally disrupted.
If lab made diamonds cost 5 pct of real diamonds and u cannot distinguish between them- even in a lab itself they say- why will someone buy the natural diamonds.
And even if you still do, how do u know the seller is selling natural or lab made. And who all will u tell that u are wearing real ones.
