Are lab-grown diamonds really more sustainable?

Lab created diamonds come with sparkling claims: that they are ethically made by machines running on renewable energy. They are chemically the same as diamonds found in the ground but cost a fraction of the price, which appeals to younger generations facing higher costs of living. #diamonds #labgrowndiamond

The rich hate the peasants having nice things. Get in your pod and eat the bugs- you will own nothing and be happy.

[@emc129]

Huh? I watched this twice and I still don’t understand your point.

[@user-yy9hk9od9u]

No. It takes a lot of energy to make them.

[@DINHVANTAM-QTRI]

Wow. Beautiful

[@HaHaBIah]

This is... A bunch of nonsense?
Even if the diamonds are made using energy from hydrocarbons, it's still more environmentally friendly than mining it.
If you dig stuff out of the ground... No matter how well you cover and patch up that hole, there was still harm done.
Besides, where did you get the energy for digging the hole in the first place?

I’ll buy a blood diamond instead. Thanks AP for informing me. I’ll do my part 🫡
