Affordable: Once someone discovers imitation diamonds, it is
inconceivable why they would not want everlasting elegance, saving
thousands, or tens of thousands of dollars in the process, banking the
difference. It is a fact that jewelry lovers are not acting out of
charity when they buy diamond jewelry--endeavoring to make jewelers,
mined diamond dealers, and the diamond cartel richer than they already
are.

No way to tell the difference with the naked eye: Scientists have
synthesized and created diamond alternatives that are so ostensibly
close to a mined diamonds that even certified gemologists require
scientific testing equipment to tell the difference. Breakthrough
advances have made the latest faux diamonds closely mimic the
properties of mined diamonds. They cut glass, they refract light into
perfect hearts-and-arrows, and they have superlative fire and
brilliance. In fact, in almost all measurable variations, they match
or are superior to mined diamonds.

No pricing gymnastics: A common practice in retailing mined diamond
jewelry is to use phantom prices and then show impressive discounts in
an effort to lure buyers. This practice is called phantom pricing.
With lab-created diamonds this deception is not possible because the
prices are low to begin with, leaving no room to use phantom pricing.

No reason to constantly police your synthetic diamond jewelry: Do you
forever want worry that you will lose expensive jewelry pieces, damage
them, or have them stolen? Do you want to feel compelled to buy a home
safe? When you travel, do you want to be burdened with frequently
thinking about the security of your jewelry? With imitation diamonds
all these concerns disappear.

No need to buy insurance: In a short time, what you'd pay in extra
premiums to insure just a few pieces of mined diamond jewelry, you
could fill your jewelry box with synthetic diamonds. But that is not
the worst of it. Insurance is an ongoing never-ending expense.

No secret mined diamond dirty tricks and scams: All mined diamonds
have flaws, birthmarks, and vary in quality. These realities are a
breeding ground for a buffet mined diamond fraud that victimizes and
robs consumers. From grade bumping to laser drilling to fracture
filling, the mined diamond industry is awash in unscrupulous business
practices. Lab-created diamonds are uniform, flawless, and priced low
so frauds simply do not exist.

No supporting the diamond cartel: It all starts at the top with the De
Beers diamond cartel, which would run afoul of federal anti-trust laws
if headquartered in the united states. Diamonds are in fact cheap to
produce and would be lower in price if it weren't for the global
cartel. Its aim is

[[commercial advertising link removed by moderator because this poster has been
doing these obvious ads much too frequently. The charter of the group restricts
advertisers to one per month at most, and suggests that ads are not basically
welcome at all. Want to get a sig file in more often? Then actually take part
in the discussions, and don't make these article/ads quite so transparently
obvious. pwr]]

[What bothers me about these ads is the way they (intentionally) obscure the
fact that they are not selling lab-grown diamonds, but an unrelated
synthetic stone which they refer to as "lab-created diamonds". By making a
distinction between "mined diamonds" and their product, it makes it seem
like they are selling the same kind of carbon crystal, while that's not the
case. "Synthetic diamonds" and "Lab-created diamonds" are one thing (actual
diamonds), wheras "simulant" "imitation" and "faux" diamonds are legitimate
ways of referring to their fakes, but they use these terms interchangably. I
wonder why the FTC hasn't put a stop to this...]

Because, as the poster's e-dress clearly indicates, the spam originates in
China ( the "cn" after .com ) and the FCC has no control over horse apples
originating in China.

[That's true of this particular posting, but I've seen similar ads in
US-based publications like the Wall St. Journal, using this same deceptive
"mined diamond" vs "lab-created" dichotomy to sell simulants.]
