Hi bonnie, so which one is better CVD or HPHT? I have CVD lab created diamonds with IGI certifcate. Thanks in advance

Huh? I blinked my eyes and the video was over. Bonnie hyped this up like we were about to get the LOW DOWN on this subject and it's actually the Reader's Digest version. I always appreciate the information Bonnie delivers. What I was expecting/hoping for in this video was multiple visual examples of how CVD/HPHT created diamonds can be classified as colorless, yet have a tinge of color. It would have been great to see a side by side of an Earth diamond next to a CVD and then next to an HPHT...I guess it's a ticktock world where a lot of people don't have the attention span, nor the desire for more details. What can I say, I've had a love affair with diamonds since I was very young and these lab grown are fascinating to me and I want more from these wonderful experts.

Hi Bonnie! Can you make a video on how to stack multiple bands (3-5 bands) with an engagement ring? Bridal stacks are super popular now and advice would be helpful. Especially how to stack thicker engagement rings since it can easily look overwhelming! Love all of your videos!!

Bonnie, can you make a video about asscher cut diamonds? 🙏

I love your bright hot pink lipstick color. What is the brand and color of your lipstick?

I’m starting to become more interested in lab diamonds knowing that natural diamonds don’t usually resell for what you paid for them. Diamonds aren’t an investment. You buy them because you love the jewelry piece and enjoy it.

Wouldn’t an F color diamonds not be brownish in color? I thought the letters represent the color, with letters above G being whiter

Not what you're talking about today but I have questions. I'm looking to buy a 4 carat round engagement ring. I'm wondering if I should get it with a low or high stone setting. I don't do much with my hands so would not harm it. Should I get a thicker band or is thin ok? A plain band or stones on the sides? I'm open to all? And what type of band to go with it would you suggest, round stones or other?

Hi! 4ct is the dream size for a first. Sharing my two cents worth. You could get a high stone setting since you don't do much with your hands. There are also other considerations like the kind of setting that you are looking for i.e. 4 or 6 prong (6 prong makes the round diamond look more like a star and tends to be more secure compared to 4 prong), classic basket or cathedral which is trendy these days etc. My personal preference is classic basket. Low setting is recommended for people with active lifestyles or work a lot with their hands. 1.9mm is usually the ideal width but if you have shorter fingers or hands, you could go with 2.2mm or thicker as it is more flattering. A plain band or stones on the sides such as pave band really depends on your preference. It seems that you are pretty easygoing based on your requirements so I would suggest a platinum band as it is more durable or even a spaced diamond band if you would want something more extra. If you are looking for glamorous or princess style, you could go with a pave band. As for the wedding band, you could watch Bonnie's other videos on wedding band pairings for round solitaire engagement rings. Hope it helps!

Am I the only one who was constantly distracted by the beautiful pearl earrings? Extremely informative video as usual, thanks for sharing Bonnie!

Agree!

Bonnie, I want you to clarify this. I have been buying diamonds since I was 10. On top of that near my house, we have over 20 jewelry shops, so I have a habit of going window shopping a lot. So, I can generally tell apart diamonds from other white stones a little more easily than others. My cousin started an online labgrown diamonds business and her diamonds are perfectly similar to natural diamonds. But, now many offline stores have popped up in our locality and all their diamonds give out a shine in RGB pattern and look weird. Natural diamonds and lab-grown ones from my cousin have a white shine. In fact, the diamonds you show in your videos also have a white shine. They say they are labgrown CVD, but you can tell something is wrong with these stones. I have asked them multiple times, are sure these are not dummies, are these cubic zirconia? They are so bad and tacky to look at. Are these low-quality lab-grown or are they a different stone?

Im a jeweller here in canada. Labgrown diamonds are real earth mined diamond. Moissanite and zirconia stones are made of glass.

@@rowenaencarnacion7530 you are a jeweller and seemingly having no knowledge about moissanite and calling it glass? It’s made from silicon carbide which is naturally found and is in fact not glass lol.

One of my friends has the ability to hear and feel the vibration of rocks and stones. I asked her if she could feel the difference between a natural diamond and a lab-grown diamond. And this is what she said, "There is a huge difference between the vibration and sound/tone of a natural diamond versus a lab-grown diamond. The natural diamond has an extremely high vibration, and the tone of a natural diamond sounds similar to the major chords on a piano. On the contrary, a lab-grown diamond has a weak vibration, and the sound/tone of a lab-grown diamond is muffled and off." She told me that she has the ability to hear and feel the vibrations of rocks and stones since she was a child, and she doesn't know why she is able to hear and feel the vibrations of rocks and stones.

Have you heard of the Swarovski lab created diamonds. If so, what are your thoughts? Because I’m looking to purchase Eternity solitaire ring Laboratory grown diamonds 3 ct tw, Round cut, 14K white gold That one on their website

My diamond is CVD but tests as moissanite. Just want to share this as I always see people saying cvd tests as diamond 100% of the time but that is not true.

Thank you for sharing your experience. While CVD diamonds generally exhibit similar properties to natural diamonds and often test as such, it's important to remember that no testing method is 100% foolproof. It's always a good idea to get multiple tests done by experienced professionals to ensure accurate identification.😊🫶

❤️❤️❤️

Isn't it ture that natural blue diamonds also don't test as diamonds on those devices? HPHT is more similar to a blue diamond in chemical makeup.

To me, craftmanship takes precedent on super size …thkse remind me of the Flintstones 😂

The shortest video ever 😂

Do you want me to buy this?😅

For those who want to know, HPHT is better

@@itstimmerTrue. Natural diamonds still have value. I just don’t think they’re worth all the hype compared to lab grown. I’m having a ring made with a lab center stone. I asked about having the accent stones done in lab diamonds also, but the jeweler explained that because of the size of the small stones, I’d come out about the same in price (if not better) keeping the natural side stones, so my ring will have both. Go figure.

Well maybe, but if you buy a natural diamond, the minute you walk out of the store, you have lost at least 30% of the value in the best case scenario, up to 75% of the value for basic diamonds. Therefore, you will lose the same amount or even less by buying a lab diamond. If you have to lose $2k, I would prefer a beautiful (up to perfect) lab diamond VS a basic smaller natural diamond. And in case it is stolen, loosing a natural one is not the same! Therefore, the value is exactly the same.

@@gabriellereut.9270 You were generous with the 30% figure. I’ve seen before where some places will offer only 40-50% of the value when you try to resell a natural diamond to them. Or sometimes it’s a deal where you can get a decent amount of trade-in value, but the new ring must be about twice the cost of the one you’re trading in. You can’t win. I’d rather stick with my lab diamonds, and call it a day.

Both are unethical huge waste of energy
