Can you tell the difference between lab created diamonds and real diamonds?
Lab created diamonds are usually so close to the real thing no one can tell the difference. I used to work at a jewelry store that sold all lab created stones (russian lab diamonds) in high-quality 14K settings. If the setting is of good quality, and the stone is well-cut, it will look just as good if not better than a natural diamond. Lab created stones are also nearly as hard as natural diamonds (diamonds have a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, and lab diamonds are about a 9.5). As long as you keep the size believable (nobody’s gonna believe you have a 4 carat diamond ring unless you’re related to Oprah. lol), no one will even question it.
