Nope. Even if I had the money I wouldn't spend it on jewelry. Travel, yes. Saving for my trip to Thailand

From what I understand these are man-made diamonds ... that's a NO for me ... if I am going to have "fake" diamonds I'll stick with Dominique !!!

Moissanite for me...can't beat the sparkle and the price. If I really wanted a diamond today, however, I would definitely go for the lab....still a diamond at half the price as well as for other reasons.

I have always wanted a 1 caret pair of Diamond stud earrings so last November I treated myself to a pair. I paid not much more than these man made one from QVC. Mine are from a reputable jewelry store, excellent grade (don't remember exactly) lifetime guarantee etc. I want real if I'm going to spend that much.

Thats a lota $$$. Can't see paying that much,when so many prices are up. I have a few pair of Diamonique earrings. They are fine and I've had them a long time.

I think this TSV is a MISS!!

Never understood the desire for REAL diamonds.

I'm just curious...do the man made ones have inclusions like the ones made by mother nature?

I'm not saying they are good or bad just curious. My husband and I had a discussion about them. I was thinking they are like medications....generic as opposed to name brand...same makeup but at a lower price.

Lab grown diamonds have something called metallic inclusions. Something that is not in natural diamonds. That helps it identified as lab grown. They don't have the resale value of natural diamonds. These lab grown inclusions can't be seen by the naked eye. So called "natural inclusions" are added in lab grown, but very slight. But they're there. A lab grown one will have a better color and shine. But Nature is not perfect. That's why there are inclusions in natural diamonds and gems. Sometimes (especially in color gems) they are actually desirable. Such as the Star ruby and star sapphire. Emeralds too have a lot inclusions. And those are precious gems that gain in value. Almost all corundums by their very nature have inclusions. It doesn't really affect the beauty of the gems. The specific color is what is important in color gems. There are dramatic difference between a $150.00 gem, a $1,000.00 and a $50,000.00

I think it should be said that diamonds are very common in the earth. But they are kept artificially high. They are extremely common in the universe. We've discovered lots planets made up of just diamonds. In our own solar system Uranus rains diamonds. Literally. No water, just diamonds. Even gold is less common comparable to diamonds. But nothing costs more then a diamond.

Wow, those prices were shocking for " lab-grown" diamonds, which just means not naturally created. These sure seem just like Diamonique, except price is x 100! But they are pretty!

If lab-grown diamonds don't give me the re-sale value like earth-grown diamonds, I'm not at all interested.

I'll stick with earth-grown diamonds and Diamonique/Absolute.

I bought a pair of lab diamond earrings last year. I got them mainly out of curiosity. I did not buy them for their resale value. I wanted clean real diamonds, not CZs or Moissanite and I got mine for about half the price of natural diamonds of the same quality.

The GIA grades lab diamonds just like they grade natural diamonds. When a certificate of the grade is given then the price goes up.

ETA-

CZs and Moissanite do not sparkle like a diamond. Only a diamond sparkles like a diamond and lab grown diamonds are real diamonds. Most people don't buy them to re-sell them. They buy them b/c they want something that looks like diamond and not a CZ or anything else.

Sorry but the Q is out of their minds with the jewelry today. I’ll be shocked if one thing sells out.

I have 1 CTW round studs, and wear them daily, I bought them from my jeweler several years ago. I take them to him every year along with my other fine jewelry for cleaning and inspection, that's one of the reasons I deal with a local company for such purchases. They have repaired bent prongs, polished the gold, and in the case of the earrings, replaced a lost earing back. It's my comfort level.

I have JAI’s white topaz huge studs and those are fine with me. Can barely afford food right now. I also don’t think the jewelry by this line is styled very nice. Old styles and unappealing. I’d rather buy a Diamond at a warehouse club if they still sell them after the pandemic.

Don't forget the price is high because they are in 14kt gold. The shine or sparkle of a real diamond from the earth depends on the quality of the stone. Some real diamonds are low-grade in color, cut, clarity, and carat. Lot's of things to consider.

The Q is out of touch--at least for me anyway. My money is going toward food & other necessities right now. Even if I had the money to spend on luxury items, I'd instead use it to help others who are less fortunate, by donating to a food pantry. I do put extra food in the charity bin everytime I grocery shop. It's all I can afford right now, but I'm doing fine as long as I budget my money. I wouldn't feel good about myself if I wasted money on stuff like that, just for my own vanity, when others are food insecure due to high food prices.

My jeweler, with whom I am on a first-name basis, is a diamond specialist for at least 4 decades. He is all about lab grown diamonds and bought his wife a lab grown diamond for Christmas, set in the 14K ring setting of her choice.

As I like my diamonds where I can see them and I fear losing a diamond earring, I will stick with Diamonique. I have shoulder length hair and studs are not my go-to earirngs anyway. If they were, I might consider lab grown with the most secure backs.

Anyone know what type of backs the TSV earrings have?

After too many years of buying jewelry, I am now struggling with deciding what to send to thrift. Any jewelry I buy has to be really different from what I have already. How likely is that?
