For our anniversary I want to buy my wife diamond earrings. I bought her a lab made diamond bracelet in the past and she loved it, but said that she would rather have earth made diamonds because she wants it to retain value to pass on to our daughter.
Looking online I see many sites from jewelers that confirm what she claims, but I do not trust their bias. Is it true that man made diamonds that are considered ‘perfect’ are worth less in the long run compared to their earthen made brethren?

Because de beers really doesn’t want their giant pile of rocks to become worthless. That’s literally the only difference, the gemstone market is almost entirely cornered and artificial as far as pricing goes. Artificial diamonds are perfect diamonds, or can be made to have any preferred impurities you might favor for special colors. The only reason they are seen as less desirable is because de beers has spent a ton of money and time ensuring dealers, traders and resellers fix the price. Diamonds are not rare or hard to find, but they certainly are controlled.
