Am i wrong or does this mean lab grown diamonds are now (i) 5% the value of a natural stone a couple of years ago and (ii) sold at Walmart for the price not more than a Nintendo Switch game.

seems like it which means the is the perfect time to capitalize on the delta between a birdbrain's perceived value of a diamond and its market value.

my prole gf has never been gifted a diamond before and i'm getting her a 2ct solitaire necklace and i expect her and her family to be over the moon at the extravagance.

sure but ultimately this is just buying shinny rocks to dazzle birdbrains and any amount spent is stupid. the whole point is demonstrating your devotion by wasting money on shinny baubles. louboutins and hermes bags probably cost like 2% in materials.

as i've grown older i've come to appreciate this birdbrainedness. especially since i'm financially secure. trading a shinny rock for enthusiastic fucking and sucking isn't a bad deal.

There's a growing trend of people buying really old Louis Vuitton shit that's falling apart, cutting it up and repurposing it for new shit and selling it. Apparently LV has gone ape shit trying to sue these people, they'll send someone to your house, try and stalk you. Because they believe the "IP" of a piece of leather with their logo on it is still owned by them. They make you sign some shit when you buy it saying you'll never cut it up or repurpose it. Such a joke. Of course there's nothing illegal about this and never will.

The US has the first sale doctrine; but many European countries have “artist rights,” including the “droit morale” that allows an artist to object to his or her art being shown in a way that “distorts” the work.

God I hate Euros so fucking much. That's so insane. This is why I hate RFK. We need those toxic chemicals in the food. Fuck health nuts.

You know what else I learned about the EU? You cannot purchase the copyright to a piece of artistic work from its creator without them having an attorney present. You can't buy, say, a business logo from a dude and say ok I own this now and can use it over and over royalty free. Even if they agree, the court will say no he had to have an attorney. Which I think the EU actually pays for in some capacity. Like they will actually use tax money to pay some random artist for an attorney in order to sell the rights to their art. This is for movies TV music everything. Kind of bizarre lol

On the flip side if you ask a woman if her bag is a fake they flip the fuck out and throw a tantrum. It's the opposite of buy shiny rock, make them happy. If you cast a cloud over their shiny rock they burn with hellfire rage.

I've actually become a big fan of fake watches recently for that reason. I kinda enjoy people losing their minds. The super anti fake people are nuts imo. I would wear a fake. If I owned a real Patek I would put it in a bank vault and wear a fake every day and if it got stolen or lost who fucking cares lmao? I'm not wearing a 100k bracelet around jfc

there's a difference between something phony and something real though. it's like the difference between a lab diamond and natural diamond, and a diamond and a cz.

if you buy a high-quality chink watch of its own design that's not phony. if it's made to look like another brand it is. same with high quality handbag versus one imitating a brand.

What is wrong with a high quality fake watch?

a diamond is a diamond. there is no diamond brand.

a rolex is a rolex. a perfect imitation is still not a rolex, just like a perfect imitation of a work of art or historical artifact is not that thing.

if you have a high quality *watch* that's just as good as a real rolex that's not fake. but if it's made to be an imitation of a rolex it is. and if you wear it you're representing something that isn't true. it's per se phony.

nothing "wrong" with it but i think there's a qualitative difference between the real mccoy and a fake versus two different things of the same quality but one costs 1/100th of the price because it's not a high-end brand. ones pretending it's something it's not, one isn't.

if you really believed that then you wouldn't buy one that imitated it. if you want a high-quality mechanical watch there are plenty that don't ape other brands. if you're buying one that is, then you want people to *think* you've got a branded swiss watch. so you *do* care, in fact you care so much that you're willing to trick people.

the people who buy real swiss luxury watches ALSO are desperate for people to believe they're wearing an expensive watch. That's what's so crazy about this. Both the realmos and the fakemos want people to think they own a nice watch. The fakers are just doing it for less. This is covered in this thread with the lab grown vs real diamond shit. Fakes are 180!

If someone thinks you own a nice watch even if it's fake, it's REAL to them! Fakes are real!

yeah and those people buy the REAL watch, so it's not FAKE.

lab diamonds are REAL diamonds. a more apt comparison would be CZs versus diamonds.

you're being obtuse if you can't understand the difference between a FAKE and a REAL thing, versus two things of the same quality but one costing less because it's not branded.

But people who have fake ones, most people can't tell that they're fake. So to many people they're real. They cannot be known to be fake or real without an expert and a microscope.

You're just saying that people who don't have cslg money shouldn't be able to enjoy the same social status one gets from owning something other people believe to be very expensive. And I'm saying everyone who can afford a cheap Chinese knockoff ought to be able to enjoy it too. I think it's wonderful. Democratizatize social status. The ONLY people who are invested in hating people who wear fakes are people who feel like they are entitled to luxury goods and those who cannot afford it are not. And frankly, those people are sickening. They disgust me, and I hate them.

that's not what i'm saying at all dude.

first of all, i don't care personally. i'm just pointing out that there is a qualitative difference between something FAKE and something REAL. a FAKE ROLEX is a FAKE ROLEX. a chink watch of the same quality that isn't aping a rolex isn't fake.

second, i think social status through veblen goods is gay anyway. ljl that i'm sitting her maf that proles are buying fake watches. i don't wear a rolex! frankly i think people who try to generate status through veblen goods are a bit pathetic. which makes those that try to *imitate* that even more pathetic and insecure. plus they're lying! they don't *HAVE* a rolex! you might as well drop a fake ATM receipt.

They don't have a real one but people think they do because they can't tell it's a fake that's the beauty of it. The other day I saw some goat jump off a ledge and land perfectly and I didn't realize it was AI right away. It was fake but my brain thought it was real for a second. If people think you have a Rolex it's real to them. Artie Lang told a chick in a club he wrote Jurassic Park to make out with her in 1995. What is even real? Don't hate the playa hate the game. You just gotta have finesse.

I know a chick with a fake LV bag and when she reveals it's a fake people's heads explode with rage because they paid 3k for the same thing.

Too bad she told me she was moving to California because of her belief in abortion rights. Not flame. Briefly thought she was based.

they're literally diamonds, not fakes. the way most jewelers identify lab made is because they're often far more perfect than a natural diamond.

there is something to be said about holding something with history. you could mint a roman aureus but it will not have the same history as a real one, even though that are identical materials. likewise, i do miss the romantic feeling of holding a diamond and imaging all the africans suffering, toiling, and dying all so jews can scam birdbrains into believing a shinny rock is valuable and demand her husband spend 3 months salary on one.

You’re a retard if you actually believe this.

Lab-grown diamonds have inclusions too. They are chemically indistinguishable from natural diamonds, but may have some different growth characteristics from the seeding process that you would need a microscope (not a loupe) to see.

this is what a jeweler friend told me (not a salesman, a watch mechanic at tiffany's). you sound like you know what you're talking about but i'm not just pulling that out of my ass.

edit: oh yeah i'm talking about just eying them with a loupe and using their diamond lasers or whatever. i'm sure there are methods to dig even deeper than that. what i mean is that even an experienced jeweler using ordinary tools would not be able to distinguish a quality lab from a very high quality natural.

My dad was one of the first people in the world to produce lab-grown diamonds in the 80s. They perfected a technique that's still used today and famously fooled the diamond district kikes back then. Lab grown diamonds are completely indistinguishable other than the fact that they are internally flawless.

A diamond is a diamond. I believe the PCD process actually grows diamonds on cutting surfaces, so this isn’t anything new. What’s new is that they can make diamonds large enough and at sufficient scale to compete commercially with natural diamonds.

Natural diamonds are in price discovery now.

Lab grown diamonds have improved remarkably and are indistinguishable from natural diamonds. They are so cheap to make the margins are preposterous. At wholesale, lab grown are like $100-200 for a 1 carat, versus like $3K for a real diamond. (And the lab grown will be of better color and clarity.)

BTW the reaction to this is a renewed interest in custom and vintage jewelry.

Zoomers and millennials want jewelry with a “story,” like their stupid tattoos and how they buy wine now.

But plenty of old money rich people are still buying diamonds and commissioning diamond jewelry. Though there is more interest in emeralds and sapphires lately, and color in general. Also, gold at $4,000 per ounce is preserving some value for smaller pieces.

I have deep connections to the high-end jewelry world and this video is 100% accurate (though mostly focused on engagement rings and not diamond jewelry more broadly). China was a big driver of the boom in diamond prices and now the rise of lab grown. They are also being fucked by how few zoomers and euros get married, let alone how many want diamond rings. They are more “experience” focused and would rather splurge on a honeymoon or buying buttplugs or whatever it is these weirdos do behind closed doors.

Bro, wear a "rep" at your own risk.

Just this week, I got called out for wearing a rep.

I was out with my wife on our 20th wedding anniversary. Big night, fancy restaurant, reservation I booked a month ahead. I wanted to look the part. I’d been saving up for a real Submariner but… you know. Mortgage, braces, life. So I got myself a rep Daytona. Everyone online said, “Even ADs can’t tell.” Cool.

Dinner’s going great. My wife looks incredible, I’m feeling confident, like maybe the watch is the missing piece that finally makes me look like I know what I’m doing.

Then he walks in. You could feel him before you saw him, that posture, that presence. 6'5", shirt hugging his chest like it owed him money. Hair that looked both effortless and expensive. REAL Daytona shining on his wrist. He was a brunchman, if you know what I mean. He wasn’t even trying to dominate the room; the room just… adapted to him.

He's walking past our table and spots the watch. “Nice watch,” he says, friendly smile, hand on my shoulder like we’re old pals.

“Thanks,” I say, voice cracking slightly.

He pauses. Tilts his head, curious. “Mind if I take a quick look?”

Before I can say no, he pulls a loupe from his pocket, like he just carries one for moments like this. He studies my wrist for about half a second and nods slowly. “Yeah… that floating M gives it away. It's a rep, right?”

He says it kindly. Like a doctor breaking bad news gently. My wife’s looking down at her drink. I can tell she’s fighting a smile.

He pats my shoulder again, firm, reassuring. “Don’t worry, man. We all start somewhere.”

Then he looks between the two of us and says, “Do we dance?”

I stammer something like, “Not really,” and he laughs softly. “Shame.” Then, to my wife: “Would you mind if I showed him how it’s done?”

I don’t even know how it happens, but seconds later, they’re out there. And he’s flipping her. Not twirling, not dipping, flipping. Eight times. Perfect form. Controlled, elegant, powerful. The kind of flips that make you realize gravity’s just a suggestion for some people.

Everyone’s clapping. She’s glowing. I’m clapping too, because what else can I do?

He walks her back, nods at me with this friendly, devastating smirk, and says, “You’ve got a great woman there. Maybe one day you’ll get the real thing, the watch, I mean.” Then he winks and walks off like it’s just another night for him.

That was three months ago. My wife doesn’t bring it up, but something shifted. She goes out more. Laughs louder. Checks her phone more often. I tried to ask once if she was okay, and she just said, “I’m fine. You wouldn’t understand.” I looked at her phone and it's filled with screenshots of real men wearing real watches. I mean so is mine so I guess I can't be upset?

Our son calls me by my first name now. Keeps talking about some guy named Terry he met on Roblox. Apparently Terry “has a real Rolex” and “does back flips" and rides a bmx. He says Terry wants to be his real dad and asked me for money to fly to Romania. I feel like Terry is probably a predator but anytime I try to say anything to my wife or son they just ask me if I have a real rolex. My son leaves for his flight in 2 days and I'm a tad worried.

The other night I asked if he still thinks I’m cool. He shrugged and said, “You’re fine, for a starter dad.”

I just nodded.

My wife feels cold now like all respect is gone, she was wearing new sexy underwear when she went out with her tennis coach Brad at 8:30pm the other night. She said it was the only time she could train but I'm pretty sure the tennis courts are closed after dark? She said don't worry Brad's Rolex lume actually works so she won't be out too late and just laughed at me.

Sometimes, when I can’t sleep, I replay that night the flash of the loupe, the faint smile, the perfect flip. I just wish I never tried to be a man that I'm clearly not. The worst part it I know that alpha is out there, flipping other peoples wives, calling out reps. Please take note of my cautionary tale.

IMO, despite the pricing, gold is at least more interesting than diamonds. Gold is much more scarce in the universe than diamonds since most natural gold is created by exotic, uncommon, and poorly-understood phenomena like neutron star collisions, whereas diamonds can form on pretty much any large-enough planet with carbon beneath its surface.

Paid 21k in 2017. Still worth it because everyone asks my wife if it’s lab grown or not. I’ve instructed her to hand them the certificate of authenticity the second she suspects that they may have any doubts.

It's actually a great litmus test for whether someone is a piece of shit. Anyone who asks whether your diamond is lab grown or "real" is a piece of shit. It's like when shitlibs demanded all diamonds be conflict-free. I personally would've liked a blood diamond.
