Hey guys, I wanted to share my experience of buying a natural diamond from James Allen and share my thoughts after comparing it to one of their lab diamonds. After putting the diamonds side by side I can't help but look back and wish I would have considered a lab diamond to begin with. Lab diamonds are so much less expensive and with no visual difference to the naked eye I think they can save you a lot of money with little to no sacrifice.

The only real argument I have seen against lab diamonds is their resale value being more unpredictable compared to natural diamonds. This doesn't concern me too much as I would never want to sell the diamond I purposed with anyways. If I did upgrade my fiancées ring in the future I would have the original stone set in a necklace or set of earrings for her simply because that specific stone holds sentimental value.

So the question is: If you never plan to sell your diamond and you cant tell any difference between a lab and a natural earth diamond, should you get a lab diamond and save a chunk of money? After having the time to compare both lab and natural diamonds side by side I would yes its worth saving the money and getting a lab diamond as long as your significant other feels the same way. The amount of money you will save or the bigger carat weight you can buy with the same budget makes lab diamonds very appealing.
