It matters to me more to have a lab grown tbh considering the unethical practices of obtaining real diamonds. Also from a practical perspective you get the exact thing but typically cheaper

generally it matters to people because natural diamonds are gathered unethically and puts workers, third world people, and children at risk for no good reason. the history of diamond companies is fucked so most women now who know about all of it choose to get lab grown instead, it’s also cheaper because of this

Honestly it’s dumb to care if it’s lab grown or natural. I’d rather have lab grown cause 1 I’ll get a better looking diamond and 2 my partner saves money that could then be used towards the wedding. At the end of the day it literally only matters if you plan to sell it

i personally think all diamonds are tacky, but it matters to some people because real diamonds are more valuable and harder to find. they don’t want a “fake” stone vs someone who wants lab grown because it’s more ethical
