Does anyone know if there's a difference, aside from manufacturer, with these lab grown diamonds?

They'e like all of the lab grown diamonds/gems, etc. They have source (labs that make em) They decide on the grading. They have to say by law. They are competing now, growing like hot cakes. Set them silver with gold plating now. They used to sell them set in all gold, but the metal is more costly then the stone. Eventually you will be able to resell them in jewelry stores. Fine jewelry (natural diamonds, gold/platinum, natural gem stones) will disappear

The major difference in synthetic diamonds are the two prevailing methods of production: high temperature/high pressure or chemical vapor deposition. Vida and Fire Light are just different brands. Fire Light has 20+ hours a year on QVC, Vida is an online only brand. QVC doesn't specifically state the production method of the lab grown diamonds or the Ethos created precious gemstones (rubies and sapphires are synthesized by the Verneuil method).

HA HA! I started laughing when I saw these last two sentences. NOONE wants to buy lab grown diamonds in the fine jewelry world. The lab created market is oversaturated, and the lab grown stones continue to drop in value! Perhaps you can get 30% of the original price on a secondary market selling to consumers.

The lab grown diamonds are sparkly to look at, but by no means a wise investment. Only buy to wear them for personal enjoyment.

Do you really think gold will disappear? Instead, the value has skyrocketed! Every country in the world wants more gold.

Natural gem stones and natural diamonds still hold value, especially if they are extremely high quality and have designer settings.

A lab grown diamond set in silver will become fashion jewelry in the future, not at all a collectible.

A significant amount of gold is being used in electronics and within that realm much of it is placed inside many medical devices where gold makes the devices accurate and precise without corrosion.

All diamonds, lab or natural, are the same material. The only difference is their grade.
