I can’t believe someone unironically wrote this article. It’s completely transparent this is just ass-grabbing by the traditional diamond industry trying literally anything to deter people from buying manufactured diamonds. I wonder how much AP was paid to run this slop.

Sure, it probably does have a lot of emmissions to manufacture diamonds. Let’s hope this deters people from buying vanity diamonds altogether! Good thing the traditional diamond industry is renowned for its clean energy practices, environmental stewardship, and working conditions. Unbelievable.

I bought a lab grown diamond for my wife. It was not cheap, but for the price it was a MUCH better quality diamond than the real thing. It was a glaring difference when they brought out both and we looked at them through the microscope thing at the jewelers.
