CZ oxidizes, and is not as hard aka as resistant against scratching.

Nice try, but I refuse to believe that people will pay extra money for a product that is more durable.

I watched Dell switch all their PSUs from PC Power&Cooling that easily last 5 years to Chinese imported PSUs that last ~1 year at best. Saved everybody no more than $50 on the price of a PC, and people bought that sh*t up like candy.

Same thing happened with PC Chips motherboards and their exploding caps from China to save $10 on the price of the motherboard. Again, people bought that sh*t up like candy.

I refuse to believe that the overwhelming majority of people would pay more money for more durability.. Not happenin'. Paying less money for less durability ALWAYS wins.

The only reason people pay more for diamonds now is because they're brainwashed into think that diamonds = love, CZ = fake diamonds, and fake diamonds = fake love. This is what De Beers and other diamond companies has been drilling into the minds of the population for nearly 100 years.

It's successful brainwashing by De Beers and other diamond companies, it's a shame that so many people still buy into it. Probably the best example of mass brainwashing by corporations in the history of civilization.

Combine that with their successful ability to create artificial "low demand" by owning all the diamond mines and cutting back supply... All just to inflate price and make truck loads of money off of slave labor is just disgusting.

I will never buy a diamond. EVER.

It will go down as manufacturing of synthetic diamonds improves and people are educated in the fact that synthetic diamonds have less imperfections in them than mined diamonds. To be honest, I'm surprised people even buy mined diamonds anymore. Why buy an imperfect diamond for your perfect love?

Yes, if you're a trained gemologist. Large natural diamonds have formed over the course of millions of years, whereas synthetic ones form over the course of a week or so. This causes significant changes in their internal structure that someone who knows what they're doing can pretty easily detect.

Oh cut the bull crap.. The only reason you can tell the difference is because synthetic diamonds are 99.9% perfect diamonds while ALL mined diamonds have got significant imperfections in them that can be easily seen with instruments.

Synethic diamonds ARE real diamonds, if you don't think so then you've been successfully brainwashed by De Beers.

The difference is synthetic vs. mined and it is always the case that mined diamonds have more imperfections. Synethic diamonds are always closer to the ideal perfect diamond and that's a fact.

The only reason people don't buy perfect synthetic diamonds for their perfect love is because of De Beers brain washing people into thinking that mined diamonds are "real". De Beers even tries to play off the imperfections in their mined diamonds as a good thing, which is pretty desperate. Don't you think?

Do you have imperfections in your love for your significant other? NO? Then why would you buy a mined diamond with imperfections (they all have 'em) in it from De Beers or any other diamond mine company?

Talk to an HONEST person who works in diamonds. How do they tell the difference between a synthetic and a mined diamond? They look for the imperfections in the stone and if there are any, that's a dead giveaway that it's a mined diamond. Synthetic diamonds have got 99.9%+ perfect crystal structure.
