Lab diamonds continue to drop in price and I’m not mad at that. The price of mined diamonds has always been kept artificially high so bring on the competition.

Pandora has done some nice lab diamond pieces at a decent price. This bracelet is 14k yellow gold and is set with .40 carats of bezel set diamonds, for USD$900. By comparison, a Tiffany Elsa Peretti Diamonds by the Yard bracelet in 18k yellow gold with the same diamond carat weight is $4,3000. No one is going to see the Tiffany (or Pandora) hallmark when the jewelry is on your wrist and the bezels look more substantial and flatter on the Pandora, preventing the culet of the diamond from digging into your skin or flipping over. I know which one I’d choose…
